Daily Reflection 
Today really has been a great day, lots of you have been in contact and have shared your learning with us - thank you. I have so many photos of your incredible home learning that I am going to upload in a moment. It has also been great receiving emails asking for answers to questions and advice. We are here for all of you.

The answer to our riddle is a rainbow, although flowers has also been suggested which would fit in with this too. Well done all of you who emailed in your answers and to Conrad for using the blog comment box.
