Hi Emerald class

Some of Emerald class are back in school as part of our key worker group.  They are doing the same learning as the children at home.  

Keep up the good work and keep posting on the blog and sending emails to let us know what you've been doing and showing us your work.  Remember you can share photos and work on purple mash.

Time to discuss

Mrs Wilson is posting all the picture news discussions onto the collective worship and discussion pages. This week's picture is focused on discussing how important a first impression is. Have a look at the picture and may be have a chat with your family about their opinions. Maybe you have seen something on the news about this.

Remember you can also email us or Mrs Gale using the 2 email feature on purple mash.

We hope you and your families are all well. Keep busy and keep in touch everyone. Hopefully we'll be back together again soon.
