Well, Good morning Primary 6!

I hope that you had a lovely break and that you are all ready to get back to it.

Uniforms on? Then we can begin.

I’m going to be using this email for all your work from now on so if you do anything that you want to send me that’s the address to use.

Here’s Cressida Cowell reading Chapter 10 of “How to Train your Dragon.”

It’s the Thor’s Day Thursday celebrations. After you have listened to the chapter write a newspaper report about the events of the day. Create a headline and then imagine that you are a viking reporter moving through all of the events reporting about what is happening and who it is happening to. Try to use the language that you find in newspapers, you introductory paragraph should tell the who, what, where, when and why of the story and then your following paragraphs should recount each event in greater detail.

It’s always a good idea to get some interviews in towards the end of your article. Perhaps you could imagine an interview with the winner of the Gull’s Egg Eating competition that Gobber throws up during or speak to the mother of the Ugliest Baby winner, she would be so proud. You can write the article in your jotter or word process it.

Now that your brain is fired up let’s get your body moving.

Grab a deck of regular playing cards and set a timer for 10 minutes.

Each suit in the deck is a kind of exercise and the number on the card is the number of times that you need to do it. So:

Spades = squats

Hearts = push ups

Clubs = lunges

Diamonds = jumping jacks

Shuffle the deck and put them near you then start the timer.

Take the first card and complete the exercise,

so if you draw the five of spades, it’s 5 squats

the seven of diamonds, its 7 jumping jacks

after you finish each exercise take a new card and keep going.

If you draw any face card it’s unlucky 13 of that exercise, but aces only count as 1.

If you reach the bottom of the deck before the timer runs out, you’re done! If not, keep going until the timer runs out.

Remember to pick an activity from your new grid to try today.

R.E. – St Thomas the Apostle is often called, “Doubting Thomas” find out why and explain if you think it is fair that he has been given this title.

Let me know how you get on with the activities today. You can email me or hit the comment button below. I’ll be updating Sumdog and Studyladder tomorrow with some new challenges and learning pods.
