Wow, it’s May already! You have worked so hard all week, have a catch up day today on ixl, (Lexia, Reading + if you have passwords, Mathletics, TT rockstars).

If you would like to keep busy, here are some ideas…

Literacy: ixl jobs are about creating sentences with description – using adjectives today (remember and adjective describes a noun – like a big, wide smile on a painted clown).

Here’s a fun video for you to watch and a job to do.

Maths: Optional Maths challenge https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zn9fy9q

Thursday 30th April 

Happy 100th Birthday Captain Tom!  Can you find out how much money he has raised for our wonderful NHS?  He has now been awarded a medal from the Queen and is now a Colonel.  Tonight after clapping for the NHS and Carers, sing Happy Birthday to him.
