Art 
What about making some little green frogs – because you draw around your hands on the paper or use them to make an impression with the paint – they could be a really special present for someone.
For lots of great ideas check out the following link.

Hello from Willow Bear
Hi Pine Class!!
How are you all?
Well I am still in Aberdeen, I was on my way back to Kilmarnock to join the rest of my Willowbank Friends at school, but then Lockdown happen. So I am still with Heather, I think she is very happy that I am still here and keeping her company. Heather is working at the Hospital, we have watched the TV and we do a lot of singing while Heather plays her keyboard. I like to look out of the window and see which of the neighbours are out doing their daily exercise, and report to Heather who has been getting things delivered after doing their online shopping.!!Wilson and the rest of the family FaceTime and tell us what they have been up to – have to say that isn’t that interesting!! I like reading the Willowbank Blog and enjoy when the children send in photos so I can see what my Willowbank Family are doing.
Take Care Everyone Love Willow the Bear xx
TV
Well this week I started watching something cool on TV called The Big Flower Fight – there is a clip below – some of you might like it, lots of lovely flowers and plants.

Gardening
This week has been a good one to get out in the Garden, to tidy up and pop in some plants – I will ask the Pine Ladies to send me some some photos of their garden for next week – send us some photos of yours and if you have planted anything.
Take care Pine Class
Love
The Pine Ladies
