Remember to stay safe on the internet- always have an adult with you when you are looking at a new site and if anything pops up on your screen that you are unsure of ALWAYS take it straight to and show an adult, don't click on any links. 

Don't forget ... Stories ... please have a look at the brilliant author Oliver Jeffers's website, he has been reading one of his stories live on Instagram every day during lockdown and they are all available for you to watch on Youtube via his website here on this link https://www.oliverjeffers.com/books#/abookaday/ .
