We hope you are all well.🌈.
Here are a few fun activities to keep you busy this week. ☀️ Let us know how you get on.

Over the next few weeks, we challenge you to tick off as many of these challenges as you can!

Good Morning P1, we hope you all had a lovely first week busy at home and enjoyed some quiet time at the weekend! We are missing you all lots and love to hear what you have been up to!!

Here’s a challenge – When I was a little girl I loved watching ‘Art Attack!’ and the ‘Big Art’ the presenter made (like these)–>.

Using things from around your house or from a shed/garage, could you make your own Big Art? Maybe a portrait of Dee or a Spring picture, and label it.

This is my try of Dee! 

I’m sure Dee would love to see your finished masterpieces -deethedragon101@googlemail.com

Good morning all, we hope you have been busy and have tried to have some fun this week. It’s difficult for us all just now, but remember we’re still here to help you or  if you just want to say ‘hi’! 😀

We like this idea of making your own wee office den somewhere in the house. You could read in there, write in your jotter, draw a picture for Dee.
Send us or Dee a picture of what you get up to you in your cosy den! 😊

A book created by a nurse to help ease children’s fears about the coronavirus outbreak has proved a hit, and has already been downloaded more than 15,000 times.

The free picture book, Dave the Dog is Worried about Coronavirus, features a dog named Dave relaying his anxieties about coronavirus to an owl named Dotty, who is a nurse.

Author Molly Watts, a staff nurse on the paediatric intensive care unit at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, said she wrote the book because she wanted to provide information that was factual and child-friendly.
