We started Monday by having breakfast and having virtual assembly with all of the people in school. We have some technical issues but Miss Barr saved the day!
We have planted tomatoes, beans and peas in both the Year 1’s and Year 2’s outside areas. I wonder if we will get any fruit growing on them.
Talking of fruit…
Some of the Year 1 children realised that Year 2 don’t have a fruit tree in their garden like we do. They asked Mrs O’Brien nicely and she asked Mrs Tibbits and Mrs Puar. The next day this apple tree arrived!
Mrs Puar also spent some time with us teaching us how to plant a hanging basket. This adds colour to our garden and makes it even prettier. We have lots of plants to look after now. I don’t think we will need to worry about watering them tomorrow but we need to pray for sunshine!
We built a maze out of large boxes and spent hours learning about position and direction. We take it in turns, one at a time, and wash our hands before and after to keep us safe.
We needed to do some meditation before lunch to calm down after the Maze excitement.
It's hard working running a mile a day when you're only 5 but with a little help from Miss Barr anything is possible ! pic.twitter.com/MRoskfHfxF

Running a mile a day has helped us to get fit. Some of the Year 1 children are now even faster than a lot of the Year 6’s! How will you do next week?
On Thursday we welcomed back the children Year 1B so that we can have more children back next week.
We have been learning to bake something new every week. This week we made Miss Barr’s chocolate chip cookies. They were better than the ones you buy in the shop!
For Refugee Awareness Week, the children decided to paint their homemade instruments as brightly as they could. They said that music makes everyone feel happy and welcome so it was a good way to use their instruments. Watch this space to hear the music that they make.
If you aren’t in school, don’t worry. You can still comment on the blog, email me or I can call you. Remember to still social distance to keep everyone safe.
