Good Morning Class 5, In school, we’ve been talking about ways in which we might help others in the community. As you may have seen on the news, many care homes across the country have had to close their doors to visitors to help to protect the people staying there. This means that the residents can’t have visitors as they normally would. We thought it might be nice if they received a letter to help to cheer them up. Therefore we are asking everyone in the juniors to write a letter to the residents of the Bay Tree Care Home. We are starting with classes 5 and 6. We have emailed your mums and dads with who we would like you to write to. In your letter we would like you to think about including the following things: An introduction to who you are - Age - Who you live with - Interests/hobbies -What you enjoy at school Lockdown - What have you been during so far during lockdown? - How do you feel about it? Questions Find out about the person you are writi...
