Another sunny day!

Good morning Y6...

Thank you for so many emails with photos yesterday; I will be putting them on here shortly. It's great to hear so many comments about how you are enjoying reading the blog and seeing what each other are doing, so please keep sending them through.

We made the most of the weather yesterday by taking our cats for a walk round the fields. Mr Biscuit especially enjoys this - I'll try and get a photo of him today, as I'm sure we'll be going again. We have 5 cats here at present, as our oldest, Callum, came back from north Yorkshire last week - with his girlfriend, Eve, and their cat, River. River gets on fine with Mr Biscuit, but Suzy Socks and Greyscale don't get on with her. Mrs Kennedy is 19, so I don't think she realises - bless her. We are certainly getting through some cat food!

Day 3 of Scrabble Fest and I'm leading 2 nil, but Mr Kershaw has started the third game quite strongly. I'll keep you all posted. I've been playing Paddy at chess and helping Bill with some strange French homework about a baby bear, who can talk, but can't seem to find his dummy at bedtime. Who knew that year 8 was going to be so mysterious? Billie made some delicious blueberry muffins yesterday - I know a few of you have been labouring in the kitchen (I'm sure Mrs Johnson is proud); Max made milk plait, with garlic dip (photo later) and... wait for it... Gretel cooked dinner for the family last night! I know, right... Gretel... amazing! Let me know about any other culinary masterpieces - photos please!

So, on to today:

Reading: the usual 30 minutes, at least, please. We are going to be writing a book review shortly, so keep it up.

English: Day 3 of the diary. I'd like to hear about how any pets are getting on with having you around the house all the time. Also, include anything you are doing to help around the home.

Maths: Today I would like you to do the SATs paper 1 - Arithmetic. This is a 30 minute paper, so please do this against the clock. I will put the answers on here tomorrow, so that you can mark it yourselves.

PE: Hopefully you are all doing the Joe Wick at 9am. I'd also like you to continue with the 30 star jumps, 3 mins jogging on the spot and move up to 7x press-ups and sit-ups. I'm hoping, if you all keep up, we can do 30 of each together when we finally see each other, so keep practising.

Comprehension today: The Rooks' Parliament. Read the poem and have a go at the 7 questions.

Thank you to all of you who have been doing the topic - has anyone downloaded the World Geography app? - Let me know what you think to it. No topic today - I'd like you to do 15 minutes language on Duolingo. You can all follow each other, you know? It adds to the competition.

Also, music. A bit of blues, which will still hopefully be one of our summer topics. I'd like you to listen to the following three songs and see which is your favourite and why: La Grange by ZZ Top, Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughan, Come On In My Kitchen by Robert Johnson.

Have a lovely day and keep the emails coming.

Stay safe everyone!

Mr C x
