Good morning Hedgehogs! I hope you had a lovely Easter and that the Easter Bunny came to visit you.
Everyone in the Johnson house is keeping well and I hope you and your family are too. I’m sure you were happy to hear of the safe arrival of Mrs Farmer’s baby, Flynn. Once we are all back in school I’m sure she will bring Flynn and his big brother Henri to see us all.
It seems a very long time ago since we were all together in class. Hopefully you will enjoy the activities Miss Horton and I will be setting you each day until we are all back to school again.
