Moss Hall Infant SchoolMonday May 4th - Friday 8th May

Message from the teacher:

Hello Year 2!I hope you are all well and happy. It seems very strange not to have seen you for so long, but hopefully you are being good for your parents and have been busy doing some of the home learning. I have been weeding, cuttingand digging in the garden and yesterday I found a bird’s nest hiding in a fuchsia bush. I was so excited and wondered what kind of bird might have built the nest. Then I made friends with a little Robin who kept coming and sitting next to me whilst I was weeding. Maybe the nest belonged to her or maybe she was just hungry and waiting for some worms for breakfast. Have you found anything exciting in your garden or at the park? It’s a bit small but below you can see my sketchfor my next painting. Can you guess what inspired me? Take care of yourselves lovelies, missing you loads and can’t waitto hear what you have been doing too.Hope to see you very soon. Love from Rosie xx
