Who spotted the rainbow yesterday evening? It was a good one!

We are into May and the month of Mary. Thank you to those who have sent me their flower photo/clip. Remember, you have until 12noon today to send in your photo / 2 second clip of you holding up a flower. It would be lovely if all of you could be ‘present’ in your last May Procession.

Spelling Ask a family member to dictate the following passage to you, writing it into your handwriting book. Remember to think about correct punctuation, as well as spelling.

Their aim was to influence the government and world leaders into acting in the best interests of the environment, which is facing its greatest challenge ever as sea levels rise and biodiversity suffers.

Although many people object to the disruption that the activists caused, others say that their efforts will have long-term benefits for the planet.
