Good Morning from Miss Topliss

Hello everyone! Miss Topliss here. I am happy to be back online and ready to hear all about what you have been up to the past few days. I am popping into school soon, so if I don’t get straight back to you I promise I am not ignoring you! I will back online for the rest of the day as soon as I get back, as well as tomorrow.

It has been glorious sunshine the past few days, so if you are lucky enough to have some outside space, or if you have managed to get out for a walk as part of your exercise for the day, I really would love to see any photos of what you are getting up to. Perhaps you have stopped inside and done some arts and crafts, some Lego or even some baking? I might even add my own photo later! I have been trying to make the most of the sunshine and do my work in the back garden. I have also been using the weekend to have a great big clear out! I have also made a great big list of jobs to do in my house, I wonder if you are helping out the adults at home with any of their jobs?

Remember, if you are struggling to get onto Google Classrooms, please email me at [email protected] with any photos/updates or with anything else you would like to share.
