Hello everybody,

Below is a list of nice, easy work which you will enjoy. Don’t forget that this week is Active School Week and we need you to fill in the Active School daily timetable – Monday  to Friday where you write down (in your copy) the activities you did everyday. This is all part of our Active Flag and we can’t let all the great work which Ms Blackwell and the playground leaders and helpers did all year go to waste so make sure you’re moving and take photos and send them to me. I’ll consider all of this part of your homework!
