National Battery Day

Hi Children,

Today’s national day may seem a little odd, however without batteries there are many things you use daily, that would not work. These could be many of your toys, clocks, and remotes for your televisions.

Try out this game on the cbeebies website. https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/search?q=batteries

Enoy playing with your toys, today. Jen

Ash Wednesday

Hi Children,

Today is the beginning of lent, It is fasting for 40 days.  This is a christian tradition. Lent may mean giving up something you love for 40 days, it could be chocolate, bread or crisps.  Maybe you will join in!

It also means it is six weeks until Easter Sunday too. I wonder how many Easter eggs the Easter Bunny will bring you…?

Have a great day, Jen
