​Look what we've been doing...​

Great to see so many students staying active and keeping busy at home. Lots of people going for walks, cycling, baking, doing yoga, playing on trampolines, designing  t-shirts and doing Science experiments. Some students had big news with birthday celebrations, a new puppy and even a letter from the President!

24th March 2020

Hi Class,
I hope you and your families are keeping well.
​It is such a strange time at the moment but the best thing we can do until COVID-19 passes is to stay positive and keep our minds and bodies active. I like to do this by going for walks, reading, listening to podcasts, baking, cooking and doing some yoga!

I would really like to see what you’ve been doing at home to keep busy.
​Send your photos to thirdclassmshughes@gmail.com and I will share them on this page.

Below are some photos I took while out walking. Do you recognise any of the places where I was walking?
