Good Morning year 6!

Well, it's almost Easter and I'm sure you've all got plenty of chocolate eggs awaiting you. So... in the spirit of this, today's English is cross-curricular, tied to RE and PSHE:

Write a report on chocolate eggs. I would like to know when they first came on the scene, WHY a chocolate egg? Does it symbolise anything? Give me some facts and write this non-chronologically, using exciting sentences, writing points etc. Pictures/photos would be great! 

In order to work off all the chocolate, don't forget Joe Wicks at 9am! 

Reading: The usual 30 minutes please. I would also like you to think about the two week Easter break from writing; this doesn't need to be a two week break from reading. Could you start thinking about a book? Unfortunately, Read, in Holmfirth are no longer offering deliveries, but Amazon.co.uk are. Why not have a browse?

Maths: Co-ordinates-2. Again, this should be a refresher for you; you can do any section. Or... as it's your last maths lesson for two weeks, all of it, if you want.

GPS: Today, I would like you to do the GPS SATs paper 1 - answers tomorrow.

Talking of answers, here are the answers to yesterday's reading comprehension:
1. Spain (Aragon) 2a. argumentative 2b. calm, peaceful 3. 'like two white swans' 4. he might then have been the bridegroom/married Catherine himself 5. 'burgundy', 'scarlet', 'crimson' 6. near the beginning: the entry is dated Nov 1501 and the book covers 1501-1513 7. King Henry VII.

And, to round off the Spring term, make yourself a SpeedTable grid and time yourself over 5 minutes. Alternatively, I will get hold of some blank grids and attach them to the next blog.

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 … 

Please keep in touch over Easter. I won't be putting any work on here for you to do, but I will still be thinking about you all, so I'll probably blog a little and would welcome any comments/emails/photos.

Stay happy, stay safe and keep smiling.
