UK News

You may have heard about vaccines for Covid-19 being offered to people around the world, including people here in the UK.

We are very lucky that people and companies here in England have developed different types of vaccines and everyone is hopeful that it might help to 'beat' Coronavirus.

Before Christmas, we looked at how people discovered vaccines for different diseases - we even talked about the Covid-19 vaccine in class.

What do you know and what can you find out about the vaccine?

You can present it however you like.

Whilst you are spending time at home, why not have a go at the RSPB Big Bird Watch.

Instructions are on the link below.

You could also have a go at drawing the types you see or take some photos.
