Dear Y5 and Y6

I hope you have had a great half term, especially as the weather has been so fantastic. I wonder if any of you travelled a bit further afield for your exercise? We went for our first picnic since lockdown which was a lovely treat. Archie has spent most of the time trying to keep cool - he loves to walk by the river where he can jump in for a paddle when he's feeling hot. On Thursday, Mr Loftus and I were in school caring for the keyworker children - it was a beautiful day and so we decided that we would also go out for a picnic. Archie came too but totally disgraced himself by rolling in not one, but two cowpats! I had to bath him in the school garden when we got back!

We are now putting the final touches to our plans to reopen school on Monday - we are so looking forward to seeing those of you who can come back. If you're still learning at home, keep up the good work!

The Merits last week were awarded to Ellen for fantastic attitude towards home learning and Bea for a super book review. Well done to both of you!

Love from Mrs Simms x
