Good morning Year 3. I hope you are all well and happy. I am happy and starting to feel better, I have watched 6 out of 8 of the Harry Potter movies so far.

32 of you of have started the Sumdog challenge which ends today – wow, well done; it makes me happy to know that you are working hard. I keep checking and smiling when I see that you have been on. You all make me smile J

There will be a new Sumdog challenge starting tomorrow morning.

Don’t forget to keep all of the work that you are doing at home so you can bring it in and show me when we are back on 24^th November.

A note from Ms Hodson:

Hello Year 3!

I am missing you all very much! I can’t wait until we are back together again next week J

I’ve been trying to do something each day to make me smile. Yesterday I danced in my kitchen to some Christmas songs, it was really fun, you must try it!

Stay safe and happy,

Ms Hodson x

You could start your diary entry like this:
