What has Annabelle been up to?

How exciting to hear that Annabelle had an amazing Easter and followed clues to find treats around her house with her mummy. 

You're both doing amazing, and showing what superstars the parents and children of Room 16 are - keep going guys!

Remember everyone, online learning officially starts tomorrow (15/04/20) and I can't wait to hear what you're all up to at home, safe in your bubbles.

Thanks for sharing Annabelle, please email Mrs Rayner or Mrs Bond what you have been up to and we would love to share on our blog :) 

Love Miss Rayner and Mrs Bond

Exploring the animal kingdom!

Kia Ora everyone,

I wanted to share with you a couple of links for zoos where you can see some animals. I know they made me smile today so hopefully they will make you smile too!
