Since it’s Friday and It has been a while since I have seen you, I would love for you to do some free writing about what you have been up to this week or even what you did over the long weekend. You can even tell me what you and your family have been up to during lockdown.

You can tell me as little or as much as you want! I cannot wait to hear all about it.

The last time I had spoke to some of you on your P7 Teams Meet, many of you had requested some more art work!

Since you asked, I have listened!

Today since it is such a beautiful day, I would love for you to sit outside and create a line drawing of the view from your house! If you don’t like the sunshine, you can draw the view from your window. Cannot wait to see your drawings!

Hi Everyone! Miss Todd has officially taken over P7!

I feel so lucky to be working with you all again even if it is for a short period of time while Mr Craig enjoys his new baby boy! I have already been looking and commenting on some of the work you have been producing on Seesaw. I have been so impressed with what I have seen so far.

If you require any support or advice then you can always send an email and I will try my best to help you. These next few weeks are going to be awesome!

For today, I have posted a Maths Challenge (we all know Miss Todd loves a Maths Challenge!), an Art Task and a Literacy Task. Have fun with them and I look forward to seeing all you hard work!
