Dear Kenny class,

Hello everyone!  Welcome to week 3 of our Project Learning, please email or phone the office if you are having any problems accessing the material.

Firstly, please keep doing your journal to capture what you are doing at home during this time. Just to reiterate the journal could be some kind of notebook or a scrap book or even stapled paper is fine.

In your journal you write:

1. How you are feeling
2. What you have done. This can be any of the work you have done from the blog and anything that you have done whilst at home.
3. What you have enjoyed each day.

We can’t wait to see to see them and share them with everybody!

We will be calling you all again this week to find out how you are getting along.

Take care and stay safe

Mrs Woodward and Mr Palmer
