Good morning Year 5!

Handwriting – Quote of the Day

Today we’re hearing from someone more modern. This is Angela Merkel, who has been leading Germany for the past 15 years.  In Germany they don’t call their leaders Prime Ministers or Presidents. What are they called? (A Record of Achievement for the first person to send me the answer) 🙂

“When it comes to human dignity – We cannot make        compromises” – Angela Merkel.
