And the lord said unto John, "Come forth and you will receive eternal life."
But John came fifth and won a toaster.
Hey ho...

Morning peeps (Lyela loves it when I say 'peeps' - NOT),

Well the rains certainly came this weekend, but things look like they may improve again in the next few days. We will be in touch, as a school, in the next day or so, to give you more info about what to expect if you are coming in from Wednesday. Can't wait...

So, onwards...

Reading: 30 minutes or more please.

Exercise: The same really. A nice walk in the fresh air, cycling like Rio and Harry, trampolining is fun and good exercise. Anything to get your heart beating faster and blood pumping around your body.

Maths: Here are the BBC Bitesize challenges for this week - https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zjhhjsg

English/Topic: Well done to those of you who engaged with thinking about your journey through Netherthong Primary. We are going to move on with this now... I'd like you to write a letter to a year 5 child, giving them details of what to expect in Year 6. Obviously, your year 6 experience has been a little different to normal and you'll have to take that into consideration. There is no point advising them about something that won't happen, so stick to what WILL happen. Think about Robinwood, Mrs Johnson, the desks and drawers and classroom routines, homework, expectations and perhaps... me? This can be humorous (keeping things appropriate), but should be written to help them with any concerns that perhaps you had at this time last year. Try to think back to what you were thinking and use that. Those of you who are coming in on Wednesday, please bring this finished work with you. You don't need to complete it today; use today as thinking and planning time. Speak to each other? Talk to your family... You are not writing to any child in particular, so it won't be: Dear Brian... it will be: Dear Year 5 person...
Enjoy.

And remember... You don't need a parachute to go skydiving.
You need a parachute to go skydiving twice.

GPS: Please have a go at this - revision on apostrophes: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zrprkxs

History: How did the second world war end? We covered this earlier this year. Have a go at this to refresh your memory: https://www.thenational.academy/year-6/foundation/how-did-the-second-world-war-end-year-6-wk6-1

Ok... here are some photos (peeps):

If you look carefully, you will see the artist formerly known as Charlie in the background. Remember him?

Well done Rio, researching Black Lives Matter and presenting it in this interesting way.

Here is what Georgie wrote:

Black Lives Matter

We trust police officers to take care of us and make sure no harm will come our way, but what these officers did around a week ago was not ok!

This black lives matter is an established group, but since this crisis has happened people all over the world are protesting for what is right.

If you didn’t already know, what happened was, some time last week a man called George Hoyle committed a crime and when the police got to him, they laid him down to prevent movement and the officer put his knee on his neck for 9 minutes. Now this doesn’t sound so serious, but the force the police officer put on his neck stopped the oxygen to flow through his body.

Some say they did it because his skin was black, but others say that he just didn’t know what he was doing. I don’t believe either of them because we don’t really know what happened.

I still think they should treat black and white people the same, they shouldn’t single out someone because of their colour skin.

As a School we can raise awareness about this situation and educate your children.

Brilliant; well done Georgie!

Pets, you say?

Here are Oliver and Elsa (not THAT Oliver), Caitie's pets. How cute?
