Good morning, Year 5!
I'm really looking forward to seeing you all again on Teams today. Just to remind you that I'm going to be reading the final chapter of Kensuke's Kingdom - it's quite a long one so I may have to split it into two halves. Also, be prepared for tears! I can't finish this book without a tissue to hand!!!
