While school is closed...

Hey team.  While school is closed you still need to be doing some writing, reading and maths each day.  You could keep a diary of your day that we can share when school goes back.  You could write me an email  - send emails to kirsty.woods@stalbans.school.nz.  I would love to hear what you are up to.  There are heaps of maths activities on our blog and if you check out other classes blogs too you may find some more.  Read each day to some one at home.  I know my library in Bishopdale is open if you need any books.

Keep safe.
