Happy Friday everyone! It seems to have been a very long and busy week, I think the rain has put a dampener on my mood! This has definelty been improved by all of the lovely emails I have received this week, so thank you everyone!!
Today we have some vocabulary for English and counting in steps for maths. I would like you to continue with your VE day pictures today for your final task to make sure they are competition ready!
If you haven't tried out Numbots yet, why not give it a go! you use the same login details as tt rockstars but it looks at lots of other maths skills instead of times tables.
Don't forget our game at 2pm on zoom. Check your emails for invites

4. We haven’t had much learning time focusing on our 3 times table. Now is your time to learn it! I would like you to write it out properly:
