Week beginning 22nd June 2020
I don't know about you, but last week seemed to go a lot quicker than previous weeks. Perhaps it was because I was seeing many of you! For those of you not in school, I hope that you are well and I hope to catch up with you very soon one way or another and you can tell me all about what you have been up to and show me your learning.
This week, there is a slightly different aspect to the planning grid relating to the history - there are options depending on whether you are at school or at home - make sure you do the correct task!
Mrs Regan is busy with the key-worker group on a Thursday and Friday, but she sends you all a virtual hug!
I wonder if you did any of the exercise tasks planned by your friends? I hope you enjoyed them if you did! Let's get back to Joe Wicks this week - we haven't visited him in a while. Can you do a session with him every day that you are at home?
Here is our planning for this week - have a great week everybody - remember .... be kind, be polite, be helpful!
Big hugs Mrs W xx

I have chosen bronze, silver or gold for you this week so only one option will pop up for you!! Topic: This week’s theme - History Last week, you should have spent 5 hours researching Bramhall - I gave you lots of suggestions as to what you could do so you should have lots of information. I want you to present it this week - imagine you are an author of historical texts. Your publisher has said you can organise your ‘Book about Bramhall’ using Google Docs. I will tell you specifically each day which aspect of the presentation I would like you to do! If you are at home today, I would like you to: Design the cover of your article. I have put a template in Google Classroom - open it and create! It must have your name, a title ‘Bramhall through the Ages’ or something similar and some images. (Remember control+ v to paste)! When your time is up today, it will save automatically and you will find it in your ‘My Drive’ when you need it later in the week. If you are using an Iphone / Ipad / other type of pad you may have to download the free Google Docs app. Ask a grown up to help you to do this. We will be using it weekly so you really do need to be able to access Google Docs. If you are in school today, we will be looking at the features of non-chronological writing before you begin writing Additional Learning opportunities - optional but VERY beneficial: TTRockstars Mathletics Spellings from last Wednesday
