Today is and it is another beautiful day. I hope you and your family were able to get out for a little walk over the weekend. Did you manage to find any trees that you recognise? In our garden here, I have noticed the trees very quickly getting more and more full with leaves. What type of trees do you think they are? Deciduous or ever green? I have also been planting a lot in my garden and it's growing very well. Someone ate one of the cabbages... I wonder who could have done that? Perhaps one of the garden gnomes?! I've taken some pictures below. What do you think is growing?
So - any ideas? I will tell you tomorrow.
Below is another letter from Miss Pluckrose. I am finding so much out about Miss Pluckrose that I didn't know before! Have a read of the letter after you have finished the morning message.
Remember to do Monday's Liturgy with your family and if you have one, light a candle.
Have a lovely day.

• Look at Night. How many other words spelt -ight can you collect?
• Write sentences containing your words. I got a really big fright.
• Can you get more than one of your words into the same sentence? I got a fright at night when I put on the light. What a sight! There was a bright green frog having a fight with a beetle all slender and slight.
