Fantastic blog from Miss H this morning - don't you LOVE what James has done?
We need more people like James in this world.
Don't forget reading and exercise everyone.
I also wanted to share Alex's game with you, from yesterday - it's a winner!
Can you escape Lockdown, safely?
Have a great weekend, or gut Wochende, as Fraulein H would say.

Guten Morgen Jahr 6! Fräulein H hier.
Just thought I would share this with you ...
My partner, James has been a key worker throughout these troubled times. He is a line painter, keeping our roads safe. This week he was asked to do something little different and special. He was asked to paint something for our wonderful NHS, here it what he did …
In case you are unsure what my hello said, look it up! A hint, today in DT we are travelling to Germany to try cooking some food form this part of the world…
A pretzel (German: Brezel or Breze) is a type of baked bread product made from dough, most commonly shaped into a twisted knot. Pretzels originated in Germany, most likely among monasteries in the Early Middle Ages. The traditional pretzel shape is a distinctive symmetrical looped form, with the ends of a long strip of dough intertwined and then twisted back into itself in a certain way (“a pretzel loop”). Pretzels now come in different shapes. Salt is the most common seasoning for pretzels, complementing the washing soda or lye treatment that gives pretzels their traditional “skin” and flavour through the Maillard reaction; other seasonings include sugars, chocolate, glazes, seeds, and/or nuts.
Here is a recipe for soft pretzels for you to try at home:
When you reach step 4 in the pretzel recipe you will need to look at this information about ‘Kneading Dough.’
1. Press the heels of both hands, or your knuckles, into the dough. Then, push the dough away from you firmly.
2. Fold the dough in half and turn it around. Push the dough away from you again. Then, fold it in half and turn it around.
3. Carry on pushing the dough away from you, folding and turning it around, until it feels smooth and springy.
Have fun and Auf Wiedersehen!

Buongiorno tutti,
Come state?
As you can see, I'm still doing Duolingo - Day 290 - and I hope as many of you as possible are having a go. As I mentioned before, I also go on Memrise every day. Now, my son Paddy has introduced me to another app - Buusu - which I LOVE! I would encourage you to try it - pick a language, any language and do a little every day. It is a really fun way to pick up another language ready for high school.
Reading: Keep doing the 30 minutes a day.
Exercise: Now the weather has got warmer again, there's no excuse.
Brilliant writing from Georgie - it's really weird not seeing writing at the moment; I'd quite forgotten how good you all are in year six.
Here's Rogan, getting his daily exercise; good lad!

I saw two men fighting over a crossword clue (2 down, 'altercation', 8 letters).
I told them, violence is NOT the answer!
Have a good one!
