Good morning everyone and well done for all of your hard work this week. I couldn't believe some of the photos, work and ideas I saw yesterday. I think we are all feeling that we want things to be back to 'normal' as soon as possible so well done for showing the resilience that Sarah talked of in her assembly on Tuesday. 

***Our Zoom meeting details are on my blog so we will hopefully see many of you at 10am***. I know I've given you a few tasks this week;

Our Katy Perry dance to 'Roar' - bring those tiger masks if you made one!

Singing / dancing/ playing our instruments to 'Hakuna Matata'

and on my blog I have asked if before our Zoom you would like to write a message that you could hold up and read to your friends saying what you are most looking forward to about us all returning to school together a week on Monday. 

Don't worry if some of you are feeling a little bit worried too about coming back; we will talk about that too!

What have we been up to?

Yesterday we had a  peek at some of your amazing tiger masks. Here is  some of your work from yesterday...

And finally, for now....

Look at Xavier's shoe box habitat; I feel like I have just landed right in the middle of 'The Lion King' film!

Our learning today...

I'm going to try and keep it quite simple today because I know how much effort you are all putting into keeping up the level of work we have been asking of you. It's Friday, and I would like to give you time today to catch up on any My Maths and to have time this afternoon to exercise, relax and look ahead to our Geography learning over the next few weeks. So today we will be ...

• Writing - start a plan for our own story - through a story board plan.
• Join Rosie for our Read, Write Inc speedy sounds
• Maths - My Maths and trying to get up to date with any work on My Maths that we haven't completed.
• Geography - sharing my new book and looking ahead. What else would you like to learn about Kenya? What else might you like to learn about Africa?
• PE - time for exercise in or outdoors!

Our writing story board challenge explained

Next week as we celebrate World Book Day; we will actually celebrate this throughout the week, we will become authors and write our own short book! Yes, we will become authors and we will put our books into our class library to share with our friends! It would be very hard to just write a story without a plan though and so this is what we will be doing today. This is the THINKING part!

Read, Write Inc speedy sounds with Rosie

Our Maths Learning Today...

Today our maths work is set on 'My Maths', but I am also setting a dojo reward challenge to make sure that you are up to date with your 'My Maths' work. I will be logging on on Monday to award 10, YES 10 dojos to everyone who has completed all of their my maths work. I will then re check next Friday and award dojos to any of you who have completed all tasks a little later on! Many of you are nearing the magical 200 dojo points needed to win a book prize. There is one week left to achieve the golden number! 

We will do raffle prizes in class on our return to school when children reach 200 and our normal in class prizes will resume. 

If you would like an extra maths challenge then explore some of the maths games on espresso too. Our log in details are...
