Hello. We hope you are all safe and well. Welcome back to week four. We hope you are enjoying your learning online and that you are learning a lot (and remembering it too). If possible, your parents could send copies of some of your best work to us either by e-mail or by Twitter. We would love to see some of your learning. Thank you to all of the children who have sent in work to us so far. We have really enjoyed looking at your work and it has put a great big happy smile on our faces. Thank you so much.
After reading last week's Whole class writing we have put together a page of feedback for you. It includes a range of impressive writing and positive points along with some points to think about to help improve your writing.
