Good morning Group 11!

I hope you had lovely holidays. We managed to chill out a bit.  We painted our shed and a bit of the fence before we ran out of paint. We got out for a couple of walks.  We made a cake for the Pinewood cake competition.  We decorated our window with an Under the Sea theme. We also did lots of singing and dancing.

It feels very strange not to be at Pinewood this morning.  I miss you all.   Lauren, Jackie and Rose Ann all miss you too.
