Happy Monday morning everyone.
I hope you have all had a lovely weekend. I baked a carrot cake with my girls, it was a very messy activity but we had lots of fun weighing out the ingredient and it was absolutely delicious!

This week we have only 3 school days as Thursday is an in-service day for the teachers and Friday is a holiday. So we are not going to do our usual spelling tasks, I am going to challenge you to learn to spell the days of the week. I have put tasks in our Literacy plan to help you achieve this. You can do it!

I will be on Google Classroom throughout the day to help you, if needed, and remember just do what you can, you don’t need to complete all of the tasks.
