Morning All, 
Wow I can't believe that we are at the end of March already and nearly at the end of term, time has flown!

So let's start our day off right, with some morning PE! Here is yesterday's PE with Joe Wicks for you to try...

Learning for today...

Reading/English
Choose a story to watch on Storyline Online.





Try retelling the story in your own words, you can use drawings, as well as sentences, to help you.  I would love to read your retellings so please send me them.  Remember to write in full sentences and to always read back your writing to make sure it makes sense.

Maths
Play Number Blocks Quiz - Level 2

https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/puzzles/numberblocks-number-magic-quiz-level-2

Choose a number between 10 and 20, think of as many ways as possible to make that number using addition and subtraction. 
​See my example below, I have only just started though - there are many more ways to make 12!  I used 2Connect on Purple Mash to show my work, why not give it a go yourself?  I have saved this as a 2Do.
