Hi everyone
We hope you’re all happy and healthy. It’s been great to hear from so many of you about what you’re up to – don’t forget to keep in touch.
With that in mind, I’ve got a special mission for you today. I’d like you to make sure you speak to one person from outside of your house on the phone; this could be a friend, a family member, a neighbour, etc! I’m definitely finding that when I stay connected to my family and friends I feel much happier. I wonder if you’ll feel the same? Let me know.
Before we get in to our daily home learning tasks, here’s some spellings for you to learn:
