Hello everyone, it’s Mrs Cunningham here again.
Can you believe it is the first day of summer tomorrow? Where is the sunshine?
June 20th is known as the summer solstice, or the longest day of the year! That does not mean that there are more than 24 hours on Saturday. It means that there are more daylight hours than any other day of the year. The UK will enjoy 16 hours and 38 minutes of daylight. The sun will rise at 4.43 in the morning and set at 9.21 at night. I find it odd to think back to the winter when we come to school in the dark mornings and go home when it’s dark at tea time. I bet some of you have been woken up by the birds singing, or like me, you might be disturbed by the seagulls on your roof. The Mortimer yard seagulls are looking forward to you all returning. You know the ones that wait for the bell to go after play, then swoop down to the yard hoping to find any tiny bits of fruit or veg, or better still a raisin or two.
Let’s hope the sun shines on Saturday and you have the longest, sunniest day.
Have a fun filled Friday.
Mrs Cunningham
