Good morning.  I hope you all had a good weekend.  If you haven't read the daily blog message yet, please do so as there is some important information there.

CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH WEEK 2021

This week is Children's Mental Health Week and the theme this year is 'Express Yourself'. Being able to express yourself is not about being the best at something or putting on a performance for others; it is about finding a way to show who you are and how you see the world.

Each day, there will be short activities posted which will support this and some lessons will have this theme as their main focus.  These sessions may also replace some of our usual routines.

Assembly - Express Yourself

Children's Mental Health Week

Live at 9am, but can be accessed any time after.

During the assembly, BAFTA Kids will also be launching their annual Young Presenter Competition.  More information is available on the BAFTA website.

Spelling Tests - Week 4

1. Use the audio files below to test yourself on your spellings.  Don't forget that you can pause the sound if you need more time to spell the word. If you are doing a different list, you will need to ask someone to test you.
2. When you mark your words, make sure you are really careful.  
3. Put your results on the Padlet below.

Maths

There are two main lessons to choose from today - one is suitable for those who can't use a printed copy, and one is for those who can.  Of course, you may do both lessons if you wish.  You will need a ruler and a sharp pencil. 

There is also a third alternative lesson with a simpler learning outcome, if you scroll down.

1. Watch the video, stopping and starting when asked.
2. Answer the questions when asked.
3. Use the answer sheet to mark your work.
4. Have a go at the True or False to see if you can apply your knowledge.
5. Post a photo or your scores on the blog and if you don't want it approved, just say so

Express Yourself Activity 4 - Languages

Mandarin

All Hallow's have produced an 'Introduction to Mandarin' lesson, which I thought would make an interesting change from Spanish for this week.  I have attached the worksheet that goes with the lesson, if you wish to complete it to send off to All Hallow's.
