Hey Guys and Gals!
I am going to start this week with a word of praise for all of you! I have been absolutely blown away by the engagement from all of you this week. There were technical issues and a few admin issues but overall you all worked out what you were to do and got on with it. It has been a hard week and I will admit very exhausting but you all did amazing! Let’s keep up the hard work and hopefully we will be able to get together soon.
I will try to lay the blog out a little bit different this week to see if it helps. I have added a bit more information onto the weekly timetable. Your reading jobs will still have to be uploaded separately (as there are so many groups). I will put a list of meetings for each day as well so you can see when you are due on Teams. I will also try to do some more videos this week, including The Christmasaurus. Please keep letting me know how you are finding things. If something is too confusing then just tell me. I am trying to do it in a logical way for me but it might not work for you, so please just message me and let me know.

I would like you to follow Mrs Rowan’s jobs and if you need anything else please just send me an email or ask on Teams. I don’t want to completely overwhelm you with extra work.
Extra Pages
Last week I gave you some extra pages to do if you needed more work to keep you busy. This week if you need anything extra, check you have completed the extra pages set from last week, then please email me and I will give you some other things you can do.
Writing
We will be doing some slow writing this week. We will go through the PowerPoint together then you will have time to go through it again and write your own answers. I will then be looking for you to share your answers to the plenary (slide 12) on Teams. Next week you will be using it to write about your own setting.
