Week 2 (30th March - 3rd April)

Well done for all of the brilliant work that you have produced and sent us this week - we have enjoyed seeing what you have been up to. For the next two weeks, there will be a grid with multiple activities on it. These are all optional tasks for you to complete if you want to. If you do complete any of these, please do send us photos as we still want to know how you're doing and what you've been up to!
