Hi 5B – how are you from Mrs Keegan.

By Mrs Keegan9th June 2020

Just thought I would pop onto Miss Brogan’s blog and say hello. I hope you are all busy at home. I saw Mia yesterday so I know she will be busy. I am working down in Foundation [hopefully not scaring them too much] as you can imagine it is a very different style of learning to Year 5 but I have introduced them to Supermovers for their 10x tables. I think they were quite shocked when I joined in! On a good note I am brushing up on my phonics while I am down here.

The BBC are giving away FREE Blue Peter badges to children aged between 6 and 15! The badge allows you to gain free entry to over 200 attractions across the UK including Museums and Zoos.

Browse the badges available on the Blue Peter website and follow the instructions of how to apply… it may be that your child needs to send in a poem, a letter or rhyme etc.
Great idea to keep the young ones occupied!

(It’s also worth checking out the 200 attractions on the website as there’s places we haven’t heard of that look fab! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️)
