Hello Everyone,
We hope you all enjoyed engaging with last weeks tasks and enjoyed your extra few days off. We have received some lovely emails. We are missing you all and love to hear about what you have been up to. It’s been so good the weather has been nice to allow us to enjoy the sunshine.
Please keep in regular contact with us sharing your learning. We will post a selection of pieces we receive. Keep messaging each week to let us know you are accessing your learning online either by using the Check in on the blog or by email. The check in post will now be active on a Monday to allow you all week to comment.
This weeks suggested tasks are below, remember your tasks will be allocated to your working groups and some for everyone to complete. Please check you complete the tasks only for your groups.

Literacy
Writing task- All Groups
As residents in care homes are not allowed any visitors at the moment, we thought it would be a nice idea to write a letter to them to try and cheer them up and brighten their day! You might want to tell the person who will receive the letter a bit about yourself and what you have been doing during this lockdown to keep busy. You could tell them about your family and friends and even what you are most looking forward to do after this lockdown is over.
We are hopefully going to email these letters to a local care home to share with their residents. We would prefer you to type your letter and practise your computer skills and email it to us, If you cant type it, just write it and send a picture of it to us.
Reading- Every group should read for at least 15 minutes each day.
