Welcome back P6,
I hope you had a lovely long weekend. I have uploaded a lot this week. Please do not panic as I will roll a lot on to next week so just complete what you can. There are some lovely activities throughout so make sure you read all the way to the bottom. The Growth Mindset, Career Cards and Drama activities are my personal favourites.
We will continue to have a Team talk at 1.30pm on Wednesday and Friday. This will let us have a catch up and discuss any work that you are unsure of.
Wednesday – we will go through the blog and check you all understand the work.
Friday – we will watch Newsround together and discuss current events. This is also an opportunity to share any news from the week and discuss any issues.
We will have our spelling test at 11am on Friday.
Morning Challenge
Slides 85-87. We will complete 1 each day. I would love it if you could answer on the chat in Teams. I will post a daily comment to start the discussion and just hit reply. You don’t have to write your answers on paper just type them straight onto Teams.
You can also do these each day if you fancy it. I want evidence on Friday!!! Haha!

Spelling – You will find your words on the drop down tab, as it is only 3 days I have been nice to you. Complete 2 of your weekly activities. We will have a live spelling test on Friday at 11am on Teams. If you are unable to make this please ask someone at home to read them to you. You can post your scores on Teams. I have added some spelling ideas if you want to mix things up a bit.
