A few weeks in one...

New sticker charts for new children :)

Firstly, may I apologise for the lack of blogging recently - first the school changed all of our emails to google, which temporarily lost my blog access (which has now been restored through a different programme), my famiy suffered a bereavement and then I was off sick with bacterial conjunctivitis. All is now well so I hope you enjoy catching up with our class!!
