Good Morning!! I hope you are all safe and well and enjoying the beautiful weather. Mrs Morrison always feels happy when the sun shines!! I hope you are working through the Deans Den booklet, have you made any of the Spring crafts?? Please send photos of your efforts to the school e-mail and I will access them from there.

Today, we are going to focus on developing our listening skills. Do you remember our whole body listening song? Here is a copy of the words, try singing the song to a grown up:

Eyes are watching,

Ears are listening

Lips are closed

Feet are quiet

Hands are still.

I have attached a copy of some listening games. Ask an adult to join in with you, enjoy!!

Before you go : Oooh argh, why not have a pirate day/evening!(Ask parents first!) Scrawl on some black eyeliner and red lippy, then tie a scarf round your head … you’re pirates! Next make some pirate swords out of cardboard and stick some pirate films on the telly.
