Choose one to complete this week (if you do more than one that’s okay too). Please choose which one you feel more comfortable doing. Don’t choose the ‘Mild’ work if it is going to be too easy for you or the ‘Hot’ work if its going to be too tricky! Just do your best 🙂

Weekly Check in

Good Morning everyone! I hope you have had a great week. Time for our weekly check in. I want to hear from as many of you as possible about how you are and what you have been up to!

I have been making lots of smoothies to have after I do PE with Joe. I have been going out walks since the weather has been nice and I found something very interesting on my walk:

 

Please comment below to let myself and your classmates know how you are getting on!

Also, here are some photos of great work you have been sending in!

You can look back at this any time you feel you need some positivity! I am going to stick this on my wall so I can do the same thing.

  • Some good viking links, games and activities on topmarks: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Search.aspx?q=vikings
  • Topmarks can be used for maths games too!
  • The Mystery at the Grand Portrait Gallery Maths Game
  • The Science Centre upload a lesson every weekday at 10am if you want to have a look at this: https://www.glasgowsciencecentre.org/gsc-at-home/coming-soon

Just a quick reminder that Thursday is in in-service day and Friday is a holiday so it is up to you whether you complete tasks on these days. If you still haven’t checked in you can go back to do so. Have a great week, keep sending your photos and keep an eye out tomorrow for the Tuesday Challenge!

Stay safe,

Miss M 🙂

Photos update

I have been seeing all the great photos you have been sending to the school photos email! They are fantastic and it looks like you are doing lots of fun activities at home. Please remember I am unable to post photos with any faces in them but I have loved seeing them all. Here are a few great examples of what some of the children in Room 8 have been up to!
