Good Morning Y6 (and friends),

I am quite confident that today will be the day when I complete the Whitby jigsaw - so keep your eyes peeled for tomorrow's blog. The danger is that jigsaws are in short supply now - stocks are depleted as the nation has cottoned on to what I have known for a while: you can't beat a good jigsaw (oh how times change...). We took delivery of new garden tools yesterday, so my crystal ball predicts a day outside - fingers crossed that it's a bit warmer than yesterday!

Anyway, here is the running order for today:

PE with Jo Wicks, to get your blood pumping and your body ready for the day.
Reading - the usual 30 minutes please.
Writing - today I would like you to pick a window in your house and go and sit, so that you can see a picture of outdoors, framed by the wall. Don't lean on the wall, sit a metre or so back, so that you have one picture in front of you. I'd like you to write a descriptive paragraph based on what you can see. THEN, I'd like you to do a sketch of the same picture.
Art - you have a choice... you can stick with the sketch, or you can be adventurous and recreate it in a different way (paints, crayons, felt-tips, a collage of items you find in your garden) - be creative. I'd like to see some amazing photos please. Think about the book, 'Window' and the pictures from each page.
Maths - Fractions and Decimals - Review 3. 
GPS - Layout devices: tables.
Topic - Mr Kershaw has mentioned to his class the TV Show, 'Race Across the World' - I know a few of you watched the first episode. It is on a Sunday night. If you haven't already seen it, go onto BBC iPlayer and download an episode. I'd like to hear your thoughts as the contestants race through the countries that we covered in topic yesterday.

Here is the challenge from Miss H today! Remember to email us your creations! If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do ...

And now, as part of our usual service, here are some photos from yesterday. Keep them coming. I have still not heard from a few of you by email, so please get in contact, as we are making sure that everyone is OK and might start giving some people a call.
