Good morning.

Here is your (hopefully last ever!) remote session – as we are back to school as normal on Monday!

As mentioned, the plan with our activities over the next week will be to focus on practising key skills to help prepare for the return back to school.

Here is a basic overview of the week. As always, you don’t need to follow this if you don’t wish to.

Maths

Today we will be recapping the key skills from the last couple of weeks.

Recap (2)

I would like you all to have a go at  Q1 and 2 of the extension questions. For those of you feeling up for a challenge, you could also have a go at Q3 and 4. If you’re feeling extra ambitious, you could also have a go at the challenge question.

TTRS / Spelling Shed

Today for Spelling Shed and TTRS, we are going to have some Hive Games and Arena matches.

TTRS arena games are going to be tricky, but if as many of you as possible plan to go on the Arena game mode at 11:00, then there should be enough to play games against each other.

I have also set up some Hive Games on Spelling Shed – we will start the first of these games at 11:40 and once finished, we will start the next game straight after.
Here are the codes for these games:
GAME 1: 141126
GAME 2: 536811
GAME 3: 968651
GAME 4: 852761

Physical Activity

As mentioned last week, we won’t be doing P.E. this week. However, it would be great if you could do some additional physical activity each day.

For your daily physical activity, I would like you to run, cycle or walk every day (it could just be around your garden – even if it’s quite small!). Then, if you could send me in the distance you have completed (it could be an estimate if you’re not sure), that would be great. A picture of you completing your activity would also be great if you can! The recommended daily physical activity for children (aged 6-17) is at least 60 minutes over a whole day, so for this particular physical activity you could aim for at least 30 minutes.

Good morning.
