Hello children. What wonderful weather we have been having. I do hope you have all had chance to go on a daily walk over the last week to enjoy the sunshine. I have just finished a week in school with our Keyworker children. We drew pastel spring flowers and did lots of gardening. We planted pumpkins, so hopefully when you are all in Reception next year we will have our very own to make pumpkin soup in the Autumn! Did any of you start to grow a plant at home? Do let me know.
