Well done everyone for completing today’s challenge, another great effort from you all and I loved seeing what was on your wish list!
Last challenge of the week! Today I want you to think about what you are missing and what you would love to do when all this is over. Write 10 things you ate looking forward to doing when we can all get out again and see each other.
If you want to you could cut these out, fold them up and pop them in a jar or a pot then when this is over you can pick them out one at a time and do what it says!
Some extra activities
Here a few more ideas and activities if you want to have a go!
Have a go at doing this with string maybe!!

We had a great day in school and have been very busy!
An important message for you all
Dear Mums,
Please remember one thing on your list of 400 today..
You are not a teacher. You are a parent.
You’re not home schooling, you’re ‘crisis’ schooling.
You cannot possibly become a skilled professional overnight and do it whilst the world around you crumbles and grinds to a halt.
Your job is to continue some sort of a ‘fun’ learning structure, with love.
Patience above anything.
That’s your goal every day.
To not feel so strangled by the pressure, that you transfer it over in the form of ‘yes you can do this you’re not listening’….
This is hard.
I mean, it’s really hard.
If you get through this with nothing achieved or ‘taught’ but you kept everyone safe and calm…
You are a warrior.
The kids will learn when they are back in school.
From you, right now, they will learn that they are loved and that their Mummy is a legend.
She held it together.
That’s enough.
It’s so very much enough.
When her hard times come, she will look back, straighten her crown and remember whose daughter she is.
Or he will remember whose son he is.
And that, is pretty amazing work, if you ask me.
You’ve got this.
We’ve got this.
Stay strong. Stay safe. Stay home.

Following our fantastic visit from local author Andi Dawson at the beginning of the month, she has now posted storytime videos on her Youtube channel :
If you aren’t already, completing a daily diary of what you have done each day is a great way to keep practising your handwriting and phonics, spelling out your words and using capital letters and full stops for your sentences. It will also be something to keep and look back at in years to come.
