Class Work

Hello lovely Bluebirds from Mrs Parry!

I hope you’ve had a great weekend? I think the weather is changing to rain and cloud this week which is a shame. Zac wants to know if you have all been doing the work that’s been posted on the blog?! He said he hopes you are all managing to read every day too – even if it is only 5-6 pages but if you can manage more, then even better! Yesterday, he enjoyed a walk in the woods amongst the Bluebells. He’s such a poser and has insisted that I post his photo on here again!
