Writing
If I was on the earth I would say there are a lot of planets around me. I am hot in some places and cool in others. I look after lots of animals and I am covered in water. I have ice at the top and bottom of me. I see grass all over me.
Good job Connor.
Miss Duncan

Elliot’s writing takes for today (although he dictated it for me to type).
If the Earth could speak it would say stop putting rubbish on my body. Be careful where you put your houses because you are ruining parks and cutting down my hair which is the trees. Be careful setting fires because I’m too hot and I’m burning. And if you keep killing my animals and creatures I’m sad to say you will die too.
Morning miss Batman
I read that there is a package to pick up but want to know if its different from the one given to them on the last lockdown day.
Good afternoon,
The learning package is the one that the girls were sent home with on the last day before school closed. The ones to collect are for those children who were not in to take theirs. All addtional work to go alongside the home learning packs is being set daily here on the blog. If you have any questions drop us an email at yeartwo@lingsprimary.org.uk.

What a lovely piece of writing.
I like the idea that the trees are the Earth’s hair.
