 Good Morning! 

I hope you have all had a lovely and relaxing weekend and are all ready for a very exciting week of home-school! This week we are celebrating Children's Mental Health Week.

The theme is 'Express Yourself!' We will be learning how we can express ourselves through art. Emily has a made a blog to show you all the cool things that are happening this week.

​​You can look at it here: 
www.virginia.towerhamlets.sch.uk/elsa-blog

Picture

And there are lots of videos and resources on the 'Place to Be' website too.
​

Book Swap is Back! 

Come to school between 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock every Tuesday afternoon to pick up two new reading books. You can change them every week. 

English - your work will be posted on Google Classroom after our live session today

Maths - For the next two weeks, we will be learning all about 2D and 3D shapes! 

Spellings - Write a sentence with each of this week's spelling words 

Topic - Today, we will all participate in the whole school Gruffalo challenge. Follow the youtube tutorial on Google Classroom to produce a lovely Gruffalo! Then, why not get creative and make yours unique? Here is my attempt: 

Picture

My Gruffalo is called Sam. Sam isn't a boy or a girl Gruffalo. 

When we talk about Sam, instead of saying 'he' or 'she' we can say 'they'. Instead  of saying 'his' or 'hers' we can say 'theirs'. Instead of saying  'him' or 'her' we can say 'them'. 

Why don't you practise saying some sentences about Sam?

e.g. "They have a poisonous wart at the end of their nose."
