Good morning Year 6!

Welcome to our first day of online learning in the year 2021! I hope you are all up early and eager to start your work today. We are poised at the computer ready to read your blogs and emails and to enjoy your fabulous work. Well done to those children who completed isolation work yesterday as you have made a great start already.

PE

Don't forget to exercise each day by going for a refreshing walk outside or by logging in to Joe Wicks which starts next week on Monday, Wednesday or Friday. Or you could even log in to Go Noodle and have a go at the exciting dance routines there.

READING

Reading is also MASSIVELY important for children so continue to read your school book or a children's book from home. Or you could read BBC Newsround online where there are lots of excellent news articles. Aim for 10 - 15 minutes of reading every day. Note your comments down in your reading diary.

Good luck with all your learning! Let's get going with today's 3 activities...

Below are your tasks for today. Remember if you need to ask any questions go to the class blog and add a comment to 6-1-21 TODAY'S WORK. Keep checking the comments on this BLOG because that is where we will post our replies to you.
