Dear children I hope you are well. I am missing you all very much. I am inviting you to take part in a school story project called ‘Once upon a Phoenix…..’ while we are at home. We are all going to be storytellers using drawings, role play and our most important tool, our imaginations! I will send out a piece of the story every week with tasks for you to do.
