P1/2 – 30.3.20

 

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all staying safe and settling into a routine in your homes.  I’m sure I’m missing school just as much as, if not more than all of you! I can’t wait to see you all again and hear everything you’ve been doing.  I wanted to just check in and give some new ideas of activities to complete this week.  Remember to keep working through your packs and finding time to exercise, play and enjoy your time that you’re spending with your family.  I’ll be uploading new activities and ideas every Monday after the Easter Holidays through the school website and app.

See you soon 🙂

Miss Stafford
