A local history reporter Miss A Loothern has been in touch with me asking for your stories of lockdown schooling. This is a time that will for sure go down in history and your stories are so important. She would love to hear what a day in the life of a year 3/4 child was like during the Covid-19 lockdown of 2021. 

Think very carefully when you are planning your writing to include your thoughts and feelings as this will add an extra special personal level to your brilliant recounts. 

Today you need to plan your writing, you will write it out during tomorrow's lesson. 

Good luck, I can't wait to read them! 😀
