Happy summer term
Hello children,
As promised, here are the next two sections of ‘The chicken gave it to me’. (chapters 8-9, chapters 10-11) Have you enjoyed hearing a story?
How was your half term? Did you enjoy some of the challenges set?
I had a lovely half term with Maddie and Mr Rowley. We spent a lot of time outdoors (thank goodness the weather was so nice) and went on lots of walks. My favourite was a long walk in Dalby Forest. It’s been hard not having my usual half term with my mum but it will be all the more special when we are allowed to see other people! Here’s a sneak peek at some of the things we got up to!
Remember to send us (beckyrowley@spherefederation.org / kerenswelsby@spherefederation.org) an email and show us what you’ve been up to – it doesn’t just have to be learning related although that is fab too – as we’re missing seeing all of you!
