Good Morning year 6,

Back to the vets with Mr Biscuit this morning (6th time!); this time they are giving him a CT scan, so he's very happy that he's not eaten since last night and I've slept with him in the spare room again (which he has now decided is HIS bedroom). It's turning into a saga; we are starting to wonder whether he is putting the limp on to get attention...

Anyway, what did the buffalo say, when he dropped his little boy off at school?
Bison.

Thank you - I heard from 14 of you yesterday... 18 to go this week.

Here's another example of good planning, in the Cooper household:

Pretty good, eh? Let me know how YOU plan...

Reading: The usual 30 minutes - by all means more, if you are enjoying it.

PE: Joe Wicks OBE at 9am and a family walk, if you get chance. We have two, or three regular circular walks now and always go between 1 and half past for an hour. We tend to see the same faces each day, which is nice. We have a lot of new friends that we say hello to now. If you go on a regular walk that you recommend, let us know and I'll put it on here. We walk around Oldfield and down around the village and back via the path from Miry Lane (sometimes on Moor Lane). It's lovely in the sunshine.

English: I'd like to try something... I'd like you to get in touch with a classmate (via email, facetime, ZOOM, WhatsApp, or whatever you use - maybe the phone?) and plan the first chapter of a story together. You will need to come up with a hook for the opening, a location, one or two interesting characters and some interesting words and phrases. Today is planning ONLY, no writing. Tomorrow, you will begin writing. My aim is that you send me the word file (it will need to be Word, sorry), then I will pass it on to another pair, to continue the story. So, to repeat your task for today: find a partner and discuss. Arrange to speak tomorrow for the writing stage and decide who will type. Then email me and let me know who you are doing it with. You will need to come up with a title also to put on the email. Thanks - this could be interesting.

Maths: Congratulations, today you have reached the final maths task: Statistics - Challenges. My original plan after this was to ask you all which topics you wanted more input on, then I was going to re-visit things before the SATs... You never know what is around the corner, do you? Don't worry, I have plenty of things we can look at; you won't get bored.

Languages: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zjx3cdm/resources/1 There are 4 clips here, to do with French numbers. Watch all four and write down French numbers, as high as you can.

Topic: Some of you really got into this yesterday -

Today, I want you to look at your plans and have a rethink. If we took everything (desks, chairs, books, etc) out of the classrooms and started again, would there be a better layout for the school? Does Miss Kelly have to use that room? Could the Booster Room be something else? Mrs Matthews has 35 children in her little room, could she be somewhere else? Let your imagination run away with you. And also, feel free to knock a wall down, if it will help.

What's the loudest pet you can get?
