We hope you’ve had a happy and healthy week. Here’s some more work to make you even happier!
Motivational Monday
Since it’s Monday, don’t forget to get in touch with another classmate and give them an encouraging message to see them through their week ahead!
Find a summary grid of the week’s work below:

You should now be on the “writing” phase of your Beyond the Door fantasy narrative. I can’t wait to read some! Make sure you try out some ICT extension activities.

Explore the activities below to practise 4-quadrant coordinates!
And if you fancy a coordinate sing-song, which I’m sure you do…
