Good Morning Year 1 
I hope you are all well and are continuing to work hard at home for your grown-ups. The updates I have received from you all will be going live in a super working picture gallery so look out for your pictures there! Your pictures make me smile as I am missing you all (a lot!) and this shows me you are happy and healthy...please continue to send them to me! I am so glad you had lovely weather again yesterday and the sun was shining so could go outside in your gardens or for walks to get some fresh air. I went outside in the garden yesterday to get some fresh air and started getting ready to plant some new flowers in the garden. I also played tug-of-war with my dog and her new toys.
