Hey Class 2

Just checking in to see how you all are? I have received some lovely emails from you this week and it put a huge smile on my face.  I was so pleased to hear about all of the wonderful things you have been doing and making at home. Jada has been building fantastic models with her lego. Anthony has been enjoying time in his garden, playing on his swing. Tilly has been very busy planting in her garden and doing some amazing plant pictures, I’m super impressed! Niamh and Logan have been busy making their Easter Bonnets, which are fantastic!! Pippa has made a wonderful Easter decoration, I love it. Finally a special BIRTHDAY BOY… Tom has made an amazing Easter Bunny! Tom has celebrated his birthday whilst we have been off school, he told me he had a bouncy castle for him and his brother and sisters. Is anybody else super jealous? I know I am!! I’m glad you had a very happy birthday Tom.  I know there is another special birthday coming up next week. A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to BENJAMIN!! I hope you have a fantastic day celebrating with your family. Don’t forget to keep checking our ‘Class 2 Catch Up’ page which will be updated regularly with pictures, so you can see what your friends have been up to and maybe even steal some ideas.

So you have all been very busy and this week I have been very busy myself. I decided to film my first ever VLOG (that’s a video blog). At first I was very nervous and had to chicken out a couple of times, but then I saw something amazing that made me realise I just had to be brave and get on with it. Last week I saw a very special video, made by a very special member of our Class. Tilly has made a wonderful video for the NHS. That’s all of the doctors, nurses, carers and many others who are working so hard to help people at the moment. Did anybody else see Tilly’s video? I am super proud of you Tilly, and extremely envious of your confidence. WELL DONE! So eventually, after seeing this I plucked up the courage (with the help of my fur baby Barney), and made a video for you all. Has anybody watched it? It’s on our Science page. Go and have a look. I have planted sunflower seeds. I know Logan has planted some too, have you had a go? How are they getting on? I still can’t see mine yet, but I know I have to wait patiently for a couple more days. If you have seen it, you will have seen my very lazy helper mostly just enjoying the sunshine. 

Also this week, I have continued to get my daily exercise with Barney. We have been enjoying our walks in the park and this week we made some new friends. Barney really wanted to play in the fields with the horses. I loved the baby calves. They were so cute. Did you know Spring time is the best time to see new born animals?

Next week, I’m going to have a go at baking. I can’t say I’ve ever been the best at baking and certainly not up to Paul Hollywood’s Bake Off standard, but it’s always good to learn new things and practise new skills. So I’ll let you know how I get on with that and hopefully it won’t be a disaster. Have you learnt any new skills while we have been off? I wonder if anyone has learnt to ride their bike, or maybe even tie their own shoe laces?

Finally, I see lots of you have already made some wonderful Easter bonnets and decorations. Keep up the hard work and don’t forget you have until 12 noon this Sunday to email your entries to me. 2 winners will be chosen and they will be announced on our Class 2 ‘Easter Competition’ page at 2pm on Sunday. I have had a go at making an Easter Bonnet too. I must admit it is much harder than it looks and takes a very long time. Are you all getting excited for Easter?

Keep sending your pictures to me at [email protected]. I have really enjoyed seeing what you have been up to. I hope you and your families have a wonderful Easter and the Easter Bunny brings you all lots of yummy eggs!

I will keep in touch throughout the week, for now STAY HOME and STAY SAFE.

Love,

Miss Parr
