Be The Best You Can Be

Friday 15th May 2020

Good morning everyone! Well done for making it to the end of another week of home learning! We are so impressed with all of the hard work that you put in every day. Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

Star of the Day – Connor

Connor, you continue to work extremely hard and we are so proud of you! Keep up all of your hard work!

Morning Activity 

 Wake yourself up with an Avengers work out! 

Reading

Today, you will be reading an extract from ‘The Tale of Angelino Brown’. Click here to open the text.

Think about the different feelings and emotions the characters feel during the extract. Click here to complete an ‘emotion graph’ to show how the characters feelings change throughout the chapter.

Afterwards, we would like you to think about this quote from the story:

“Bert strides down the path in the sunshine. He turns back at the gate – and just look at him. There’s a big grin on Bert’s face. Angelino is waving, all by himself.”

If Angelino could talk, what do you think he would say to Bert in this moment? What would he be thinking? Think about what you have read so far and write a paragraph as if you were Angelino.

Maths

Remember, we are now giving you the option in Maths for whether you want to recap recent learning with Bitesize or sign up to the 30 day maths challenge.

Good morning everyone! We hope you are doing well and are taking the opportunity to go outside to exercise for slightly longer!

Have you seen the information on the MFL page about writing to a French penpal? We think this is a great opportunity for you to get involved with as we know how much some of you love French! Children all across the world, including those in France, have been experiencing lockdown so this is a chance for you to share your experiences and ask any questions you might have about how children in other countries are finding it. If you are interested then either drop us or Mrs Livesey an email - don't worry, there is no expectation for you to write in French!
