How has your week started? I have really enjoyed reading your adventure stories on Purple Mash and seeing your photos from over the weekend. Keep them coming in! EnglishHow did you get on with your acrostic poems yesterday? Send them in or share them on Purple Mash, it would be great to see them. Today, we are going to be looking at haikus.

Today I would like you to try and write your own haiku, I have posted a picture below to give you some inspiration. CHALLENGE: Haikus are sometimes written as clues without saying what they are writing about. For example: Green and speckled legs, Hop on logs and lily pads Splash in cool water. Can you write some of your own clue haikus? Share them with us and we’ll try and solve them! MathsHow did you do with the equivalent fractions yesterday?

Keep on washing your hands, looking after yourselves and everyone else at home with you and remember to be kind to yourself. Hasta luego, Ruth and Emily Comments are closed.
