It’s a grey but fresh morning and I think the sun might just get out.

I’ve been really amazed by all the new things you have achieved whilst learning from home. From riding your bikes without stabilisers, learning a new times table and joining letters in handwriting. You must feel really proud of yourselves.

Hello everyone! I hope you managed to have a lovely weekend and find some sunshine.

I had a walk over the weekend and took some lovely photos of our beautiful surroundings.

Here’s today’s weather themed activities, if you wish to try them. (More details on Tapestry)

Enjoy your day and have a sunny weekend.

I think this is certainly going to be the case today! We will have to dodge the raindrops or put our wellies on and go splashing in puddles. But I’m sure we can still enjoy our day.
