Hello everyone! Hope you are all well and making sure to have lots of fun in the sun in between your tasks. Remember to check your packs for more tasks.
Literacy
Our weather has been mixed over the past wee while with some gorgeous sunny weather to some rubbish cold and wet weather! Here’s hoping the nice weather stays around for a good while longer!!! Write a weather report. See how many adjectives (describing words) you can use!
Do a bit of research and then write a set of clear instructions on how a rainbow is made – remember to include some lovely pictures!

Writing – remember to complete Miss Taylor’s writing task that will be posted on the blog at some point this week.

Here is an example of partitioning to remind you:
14 could be partitioned as:
10 and 4
11 and 3
12 and 2 etc
