hello class 3 and Miss Jones
My tips are : baking a lot , then go for a walk (because you’ve eaten the cakes you baked !) , also keep in touch with your friends by calling them with video very regularly and if you can play cards with your family.
Also, I have been making “scoobidoos” with my Mum and my brother. I will send a picture to show you what they look like . My Mum used to make some when she was a little girl . You can do a lot of shapes like heart, helicopter, puppies etc … you can find the strings on Amazon and the tutorials to teach you how to do them on you tube !! let me know if you want me to teach you !
Hi Penelope, thanks for sharing what you’ve been up to!
The scoobidoos look great! I’ve uploaded your picture! I bet they keep you busy π
