Blakeney Blog 1st April

Good morning Blakeney!

A note from Ms Black 

I hope you’re all happy and settling in to home learning life! My sister sent me a beautiful book with lovely positive messages in it so I thought I would share one with you each day. I love this one on the left about listening to your dreams not your fears – so many of us allow our fears to stop us from doing the things we would really love to do!

Well, I’ve already done my yoga and Zumba dance fitness, had a shower, had breakfast and written some emails! And now, I’m preparing for a trip to Amsterdam (virtually of course)! The Home Learning Grid for this week mentions a trip to Ann Frank House in Amsterdam. Would you like to join me? Let’s go!
