Good Morning Year 6,
Remember when we used to do creative writing on a Tuesday morning? Wow, that seems a long time ago, doesn't it? Well today, we are going to start with that, so here's your picture:
At the moment, we have a poorly cat; Mr Biscuit returned from one of his night-time manoeuvres with a limp and is reluctant to put any weight on one of his front paws. Three visits to the vet later, we are taking it in turns to sleep in the spare room (with no furniture, other than a bed), so that we can restrict his movements. Mrs Moran has lent us Alfie's (her dog, not Mr Moran) large cage and we have been reduced to the life of prison wardens, as we take him outside for monitored walks around the vegetable patch and various mole hills that seem to be appearing. Mr Biscuit is NOT a happy boy. So, therefore, neither are we.
My friend keeps saying, "Cheer up, man. You know, you could be stuck, underground in a hole full of water!" I know he means WELL. (That was a joke).
Anyway... LOADS of photos to share today. So, before we get on with further work -
Thank you to you four for your weird reading photos; good work! Don't forget everyone - 30 minutes a day and send photographic evidence. Thank you also for telling me what you are reading. Darcey is reading The Wild Folk, by Sylvia V. Lindsteadt. Rio is reading Divine Madness by Robert Muchamore. Guy is also powering his way through all the Robert Muchamore books. Both of these two are enjoying the Cherub series; I'm sure Mrs Johnson is very proud of you! Keep it up - all of you.
Maths today is Geometry Review 4. If any of you then WANT to try the Geometry challenges over the page, go for it - some are harder than others: be warned! Only do these if you are up for the extra.
Languages - Duolingo. Well done to those of you who are still doing this. I know that Miss Kelly's son, John, is still doing this daily. Today is my 232nd consecutive day! At 250 you get to level 10 and a gold badge... I also recommend Memrise. If you subscribed to the free children's accounts at Rosetta Stone, please can you email and let me know what you think? Thank you.
Topic, day 2. Going back to your American country of choice, I would now like to know: A) Which countries border it? B) What is the tallest mountain in your country? C) What is the longest river? D) Who is the current ruler? Is she/he a King? A President? E) What is the life expectancy? Is it different for men and women?
I asked some posing questions yesterday - just for fun really, but Alex answered them all, so here they are:
Don't forget the usual exercise - Joe Wicks, etc.
While I am typing away, Biscuit has come to say hello...
And, on that note, I shall depart. Thanks again to all of you, who are getting in touch. There are still some names on my list - please, if you haven't been in contact, check in. Stay safe everyone.
Mr C
Biscuits (again, apt), by Eva - not made out of lego.
Nanoblock, by Max (Happy birthday, Max).
Manatee, by Caitie.
Ironing, by Oli?
Climbing (escaping?) by Guy and his dad.
Drumming (online), by Oli.
Working hard, by Guy (AWESOME!)
And finally... you'll like this one... I think it's one of my favourite of the year so far...
I'm not even going to title it - I thought about it being the Creative Writing photo for a moment.
Ooh! Thanks for the chesskid comments Darcey and Rio - I'm glad you are enjoying it. Please carry on. Can you play each other?
Seeya!
