Good morning P3/4. Can you believe it’s Friday again already? How are you all feeling? I have to admit, my feelings have been all over the place this week. One minute I’m happy and having the best day ever and then the next minute I suddenly feel sad and anxious. I’m really starting to miss my friends and family. It’s OK to feel that way though and if you are feeling this way too, remember it’s important to talk to someone about it. You could talk to your parents, or perhaps you could phone someone else in your family or one of your friends. You might find that they feel the same way too.

This year is particularly poignant, given that it’s the 75th anniversary of VE Day.
