Good Morning Leopards, I had a very busy day yesterday as it was my daughter's birthday. This lockdown makes every day seem the same, so we tried to make it as special as we could for her. Although she was missing her friends, she still had a lovely day. We went bowling (on the Wii), had a slap up meal in a posh burger restaurant (our kitchen) and had a cinema experience (film and popcorn). Life is a bit tricky at the moment, but we can still make some special memories. Here's a picture of her cake - it was yummy! Let me know of any good memories you are making during this lockdown.  Have a great day and I look forward to hearing from you later. Mrs Williams

Hi Leopards, I knew you could rise to the challenge and send me some music! Here's  Carmel , who is starting to learn the guitar, showing great concentration here. Thanks for sharing that Carmel.  I look forward to more videos as you progress. I'm hoping that this will inspire more musical interludes. Dust off the violins, saxophones and recorders and make some noise!  What will  you play? Mrs Williams

Hi Leopards, It's going to be a wet Wednesday, so I wonder what can you do if you're stuck indoors?  Have you been making music? I'd love to hear some tunes on your instrument. Can you record something and send it to me? If you fancy singing some fun songs, Sing Up at Home is free and has lots of songs to help you learn and sing. Click the logo to find out more. You could 'Wiggle jiggle | Wake up, shake up', and welcome in the new day with the funky warm-up Song of the Week. . Have a lovely day. Mrs Williams

I received this message in a bottle today!  Leah, I love this! I do hope someone has rescued you now! What sort of  Island adventures have you had this week? Annie has decided to learn something new. Here she is   practicing some Cosmic Yoga  poses.  What a great idea, Annie. Yoga is great for improving flexibility, strength, coordination, body awareness, concentration, sense of calmness and is great for relaxation. I think I might try it myself! Annie  has also been working hard with her maths and is particularly  enjoying Numbots. Great work Annie. Keep sending me messages, emails and work. Mrs Williams

Hi Leopards, Well done for keeping going with your work and for letting me know what you have been doing each day. I look forward to teatime when I have a look on the Google drive and see what has magically appeared in your folders! Take a look at Estella's writing, which she has up-levelled.  Great use of  different sentences,  adverbials,   alliteration ,   simile and personification.  Estella is showing great motivation by getting up super-early to get started on her work. And I mean, SUPER - EARLY ! She was up at 6 am this morning! She    has done everything set on the timetable every day  and has worked independently.  Well done to Mum too, for checking through her  Power maths and English sheets. This is a great help.    Of course, you don't have to get up as early as Estella, you can get started at normal school time if you like. However, it is a good idea to have a routine to the day, just like...
