Good morning all,

We’ve got two weeks left of our (very strange) summer term – I can’t believe July is already here! Well done to every single one of you who continues to log in and all those of you who carry on doing your own learning. I hope you’ve all enjoyed your weekends; mine involved plastering walls, cycling, running and tidying up after my four-legged friends who have been causing chaos! But I love chaos!

Here’s today’s activities:

1. Spellings: This week’s lists are on the links below. Challenge: ask someone to test you on how many you know BEFORE you start learning them.

A MAPPING CHALLENGE

Practice your geography skills and learn more about where the Olympics have traveled — between the first games in Olympia and this summer’s competition which has now been postponed to 2021. Carry out research to find the locations – a quick google safe search will work. Mark all of the Olympic cities over the years on a world map – learn continent and country names as you work! 🌏

Good morning Dragonflies,

I hope you’re all well, happy and safe. I’ve had a weekend taken up by puppy play! 🐾💛 Little Nell has settled beautifully and is FULL of mischief; she particularly likes toilet rolls, hair brushes and the broom! My house is a mess with things found in very strange places 😆 Briar has come round to her a bit more too although I still have plenty of 1:1 time with B to reassure her we still love her just as much!

Here are today’s activities:
