Well you would never think that it is nearly time to break up for the Summer.  We have been working our socks off this week so far.

I have been so proud of the children I have in school and the children who are working from home as they are being such busy little bees.

Some lovely work from the children learning at school and those learning at home.  The theme of Robots and Machines has been really popular and full of engagement from all of the children.

It was soooooooo hot today but this didn't stop us from doing our reading,  We enjoyed chilling out whilst we read our books.  Today's book was very aptly named 'In the sun'.  Some of us even found a lovely shady spot in the willow den to enjoy our ERIC time (Everyone Reading In…
