Monday 11th May
Good Morning Year 2
Challenge: Listen to the audio of me reading the morning message. Can you read along as I speak?
Miss Writer's Morning Message
Today is Monday 11th May, 2020. I hope you had a wonderful long weekend and managed to enjoy some of the sun on Friday and Saturday. Sunday and today are very blustery days.
Below I have added a picture of a cloud that I saw. I thought it was a very interesting picture because he looked like an extremely bossy cloud; telling the other clouds off and pushing them out of his way! I wonder if you've seen any interesting sights this weekend.
I have some other very exciting news for you. In our garden there is a small nest that belongs to a robin and she has 5 tiny, white eggs that she sits on for a lot of the day. She's placed the nest right next to a window so we can see them! If I can take a picture without scaring her or disturbing her, I will but I must be very careful as I do not want to bother her.
Have a lovely day!
Miss Writer
