Time

Good morning Wonderful Woodpeckers,

I hope you are doing well. 

Today in maths we are starting algebra. Remember to watch the tutorial first. 

In English we are starting a new book called The Giant's Necklace by Michael Morpurgo and basing all our writing on it over the next few weeks. There is a copy of the text below, I have also read the story too (below). Please make sure that

you don't read ahead of the pages stated. 

Remember to aim high in all your school work and email it to me once it is complete. I am looking forward to seeing how you do today and reading your fantastic stories. 

If you have any problems or question just let me know.

Email me on: 

rstuart@seal.kent.sch.uk

 

Have a lovely day.

Best wishes,

Miss Stuart
