Today we have been busy planting our sunflower seeds. We have put them in the poly tunnel and will be sending them home soon for you to show some tender loving care! 

For PE tomorrow we will be going onto the field. Fingers crossed everyone has remembered to bring their kits back to school along with a pair of Velcro trainers.

We hope you have a fabulous holiday and we look forward to some interesting writing about what you have been up to. Don't forget to send us some postcards on Orbit about your exciting time away from school. Enjoy!
