Badger Class  - Miss Latif 

 Good Morning Tuesday,

Thank you for everyone’s hard work last week. You are amazing!!Keep it up!!

Make sure that today you get a chance to go out and enjoy the snow but stay safe too by wearing the proper clothing. 

I have been out in the garden this morning. I made some food for the wild birds and I made sure I put fresh water out for them too. I have cleared the pavement too as my good deed for the day and got fresh air and exercise in too.

I have attached a photo of my snowman which is over 6ft tall!! Please send in your snow people to add to our gallery!

Thank you to everyone who has sent me messages, it is so heartening and believe me they make me smile.

I have attached this week’s learning and resources. This week the Maths is on Seesaw and White Rose sheets. The White Rose worksheets are attached to the bottom of the weekly planning. Year 5 followed by Year 6. These need to be done in order as the skills are being built on. I have added some arithmetic practice games on Purple Mash however this is just revision and not the core work.

Please can you follow the daily plan.

Work should be uploaded to Seesaw as the work can be uploaded to your file and then we can comment or send you a smiley face. Some activities have also been set on Seesaw for next week.

There are a number of practice activities for Maths but these are skills based and are not the core work.

Please remember you can dip into the activities that the BBC and Jane Considine are also doing.

I hope you have all logged into Epic as the book choice is great and I can see what you are reading. There is so much choice ,I have read a few of the books too.

As a challenge this week, take some photos of you reading in unusual places and I will put you in our picture gallery.  This will be our extreme reading gallery!!Please ask permission before you do this and for help if needed.

Next week is child mental health week and we will be doing lots of self-care activities and the week after is Safer Internet Day and I have attached some useful resources.

Have an awesome week!!
