Fundraising
May, in Grinshill class, has decided that she would like to raise some money for charity. So, during the month of May she is going to walk or run a mile a day. She is hoping to raise at least £100.
This is the link to her page if you would like to see how she is getting on.
Good luck May!

Happy May everyone!
I have been trying to ring people at home to see how you are all getting on. If you have a missed call from a private number it is probably me, but I do leave a message. If I haven’t spoken to you yet then I will try today and next week. It has been lovely catching up with the children and parents I have spoken to and finding out what you are all up to.
I just want to say WELL DONE! You are all amazing!
So, lets kick off today with some PE 🙂

Hello everyone!
The weather isn’t very nice at the moment, but try to get a little fresh air, put on your wellies and coat and stand in the rain. See what you can see, hear and smell. I love the smell of the grass in the rain. It may inspire you to write a poem or draw a wet day picture. I would love to see what you come up with.
