Dragonfly Class – Friday 19th June

It’s Friday! Well done for logging in for another week.

I needed my flippers yesterday 🚴🏼‍♀️ going back and to from school where I got very wet, but it was great fun! Get out in the rain if you can – it can be so refreshing (Nicky will think I’m mad saying that).

I hope you all have a good weekend – mine looks like there will be lots of good food involved! So I best get running too 😊

  2. Topic (Ancient Greece): Aesop’s Fables

There is a book called Vita Aesopus that was first written in the 2nd century CE and says that Aesop was a very ugly slave who lived on the Greek island of Samos. At first he cannot speak but after showing kindness to a priestess of Isis, the Egyptian goddess made him not only speak but also a clever storyteller.
