Good morning everyone,

We hope everyone is doing well. It’s been so lovely to receive all of your drawings, work and extra-curricular art/craft projects. Please keep it up. Hopefully these beautiful, sunny days are inspiring and motivating you. Hello Spring!

Peggoty’s next instalment of the class book is here and we’re trying to race through it so that we can all start a new book together.

More reflection work in today’s Maths.

Here’s a top tip – When you reflect a shape, you flip it. You can remember this because ‘reflect’ has an ‘f’ for ‘flip’ in it.

Be careful when looking at those mirror lines and, most importantly, take your time and be systematic.

I hope it goes well!

English

Follow along with the video and write two lines of each letter and word in your handwriting exercise books.

Challenge yourself to write words that include these letters.

Our English task today is to create a ‘paragraph plan’ for each section of our biography.
