Hello Everyone

Welcome to a new week.  I wonder what you have all been up to last week, what the highlights of your week have been? Maybe like me you’ve been doing the Body Coach P.E. workout with Joe Wicks, maybe you have  being doing some Jump Start Jonny or maybe going out for a walk or on your scooter. I hope you are trying to stay healthy by eating some fruit and vegetables and drinking lots of water.

I have found you two quotes you might like.

Young Writers’ Competition

I know that we have some great writers in school. Is anyone keeping a diary? Some of our classes  have entered the Young Writer’s Competitions in school and have even had their stories and poems published in books.

So if you have an interest in writing when you’re not in school, there are new competitions on just now and the deadlines for all the competitions have been extended to 30th April. You can still download a template and take part. Some of the titles are “Animal Adventure” (Age 5-7) “Out of this World” (Age 7-11) and “SOS Sagas Missing” (Age 11-18)
