Good morning P6, it looks like another lovely day. Well done for all the work you completed yesterday. Remember if you can’t get some of the tasks done, don’t worry, just complete what you can manage and the cooking and art tasks can be done anytime, you may not have the ingredients!

As usual your tasks will be posted at 9am for you on Google Classroom, here is a schedule to follow;

Task 2 – Setting the scene for a story. Create a character in your head (I chose a Princess having just watched Maleficent on TV). Use the higher level vocabulary sheets to help create a setting, feelings and a character. One line for each section would be enough, I’ve included my model in the task on classroom.

Task 3 – Health and Wellbeing – Our Joyful June calendar suggests we find the joy in listening to music and find our favourite pieces.

Task 4 – Go Noodle

Good Morning everyone. I hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the sunshine. I hope you managed to see some friends and family at the weekend. Charlie and I visited my mum and dad again. We sat in their garden and enjoyed the lovely weather. We are having another themed week this week. This week’s theme is Japan. This was the most popular choice when you voted a few weeks ago. Space week was great. Let’s make our Japan themed week even better.

Actually this kind of exercise is popular in Japan, China and Taiwan. In Japan, they usually say it as “Rajio Taisou” (ラジオ体操). It is from two words, “Rajio”（ラジオ), which means Radio in Japanese, and the word “Taisou”（体操, which means physical exercise in Japanese. Have a go at some Rajio Taisou!
