Welcome to Week 2 Otters!
I hope that you had a good week last week and are ready for this last week before our Easter Break. I know that we would all like to be at school but we'll try and give you things to keep you occupied during this time.
We've started filming Kensuke's Kingdom so that, if you missed it, you can find out what happens at the end of the story. When we are done with this book, there may be other stories to listen to. Keep checking.
Take care and keep safe,
Mrs Whyatt and Mrs Rees
Friday 3rd April
It's the last day of term!! A little different to how it would normally be but still the end of term. If it were a normal year, I'd be sending you home woth work packs for your SATs but it's not so your task for the holiday is to carry on spending time with your families, stay safe indoors and stay in touch with each other - not face to face of course.
Carry on reading everyday, practice your spellings, there may be a test after the holiday and practise your times tables. I know I go on about it but it really does make your maths easier.
Have a lovely holiday.
Mrs Whyatt and Mrs Rees
