Back in Business!

Hi everyone, hope you've had a lovely weekend. Thanks for your patience with the blog last week, but everything should be up and running as normal this week.

Please have a go at the RAR I set on Friday and blog your answers now everything is working again!

A few of you are still working on IXL without completing the LBQ tasks first. Remember, LBQ is the priority and IXL is extra. Some of you, naming no names, are also missing out a few too many questions - you (and I) no who you are! I'm watching! I want to see a big push on Reading Solutions this week - nowhere near the same number of you are completing your reading as your LBQ work. Remember, the expectation is at least 5 comprehensions per week! Well done to Nathan (10), Phoebe (9) and Rosie (6) for completing more than 5 last week!

I'm looking forward to getting in touch with you this week. I've already managed to talk to a few of you  which has been really nice.

Did you all see the story about the 99 year old, 'Captain Tom', raising millions for charity? Very inspiring! What a hero!

I've managed to do a few laps of my garden too - mainly chasing after Alexander with a potty!

From this week, I'm going to be setting spellings and an extended writing piece on Mondays to be completed by Friday.

I've set up 2 discussion feeds for our class to do this. On Friday, I'd like you to blog your spelling score (or a picture of your spellings - these can be already marked) and a photo of your writing. This week, I've based the writing on Captain Tom's accomplishments! I'm really excited about what you might come up with for this. I'm looking for a letter to Captain Tom - perhaps we could tweet some of our efforts!? More details and links to the story are in the discussion feed.
