Thursday 9th July - Home Learning

Good morning Year 2,

I am so sorry for not being as organised as normal, by now the blog is normally complete and ready for you. Instead I have twenty five minutes until the school run and I am going to get as much of today's learning on the blog before I go.

Yesterday I was at a school meeting and then working on a project for next year's exciting school curriculum. Those of you who are waiting for me to respond to your emails, I promise I will do this this morning, yesterday's photos will be added to today's blog.
