Good morning Ganymede,

I hope you have all had a great weekend. This is the last week of learning until the mid term break when you can relax and enjoy a well deserved rest.

Last week we had a almost everyone logging on on the online register. For our zoom session today we will all be doing some maths together. The link to log on is below in the Maths slides. I look forward to seeing you at 9:20 (we have assembly first so will be on after that).

So let's get started.

Before you start your learning today make sure you sign the remote learning register by clicking here.

Below is your timetable for the day.

Morning challenge

Let's start the day with some brain exercises - How many challenges can you complete today?

PE

You can join our good friend Joe again or you can do 10 jumping jacks, 10 star jumps and then run on the spot for 30 seconds. That should get your blood flowing to your brain ready for your learning.

Follow the link for Joe here:

Topic 

WALT: make notes on my knowledge of frozen lands, organising my notes into clear paragraphs. 

We have come to the end of our learning in our geography topic. So far, you have learnt about the geographical similarities and difference of human and physical features, name and locate some countries in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, name the 8 compass points, locate the Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle and find out views on environmental issues and suggest ways that we can change and improve.

That's a lot to write about!

You are going to spend this lesson planning your essay. This will be using the same planning format that we always use when completing essays. You will be given a number of paragraphs that you will need to write about and some key questions which you need to answer. In the boxes provided, you will need to plan what you want to say in each paragraph.

Remember - The more detail you put in your plan, the easier it will be to write the essay.
