Hello girls!
I hope you all had a great Easter and, like me, ate LOTS of chocolate!! I am sure at this stage you are all beginning to miss school life and seeing all your lovely friends but by staying at home for the moment, we are keeping ourselves and our families safe. Some of you sent in a photo or two of activities you have been doing and it was lovely to see you keeping busy!! I miss you all and hope to see you very soon. Do your best with the work I have laid out below. Don’t worry if you find some of it tricky, just do the best you can.
Love, Mrs Power
