Hi Class,<\/p>\n
Welcome Back!<\/strong> It’s Monday again! I hope you and your family have had a good Easter and that you didn’t eat too much chocolate! How are your peas and watercress? Have they grown much? Have you tried the watercress yet?<\/p>\n We are well into Spring now and the weather has been beautiful and I hope you have had a chance to get outside safely for your daily exercise and to play. It’s been busy in my house trying to keep my three girls busy. I hope you are looking after yourselves and your families.<\/p>\n I hope before Easter you had a chance to try out some of the activities I put on the website HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n And you also had some Easter activities to try out over the Easter break HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n If you didn’t its still not too late to try out some of the activities above. Below are a few new follow up activities to try out. Next week (starting Monday 20th April) I will be hoping to get back into some new work and hopefully have you share some of your work with me.<\/p>\n In the meantime….<\/p>\n SeeSaw<\/strong> codes for you to log in will be making their way to your parents email addresses today and tomorrow- so keep an eye out for them.
