I can see that some of you have been using the support materials on Sumdog, remember Sumdog has more than just maths games on it and I have set some spelling and grammar challenges for you too.

Here is Cressida Cowell reading chapter 15 of, “How to Train your Dragon.”

The Green Death and The Purple Death are face to face and the great battle has begun. Visualise the battle, the Green Death on one side and the Purple Death on the other. Describe their thick skin, their huge talons, their violent attacks and the effect that their enormous, thrashing bodies are having on the headland and on the boys.

For Health and Wellbeing today I would like you to identify all of the ways that you are being supported by other members of your family and how you are supporting them. Perhaps they have cleared a part of the room to be your work space or they have created a chart giving you time to work on each task. Maybe you have been doing chores around the house more regularly or helping a younger sibling with their work. You could list these things in your jotter.

Finally, here is the next episode of, Mi Vida Loca.
