Hello scintillating 6th class!
Hello scintillating 6th class!
So today marks a new week of school work that you will find here, as well as your homework for the week and your 20 minutes IXL homework per day. I expect all work to be completed by 6th class but remember you all have my email address, should your parents or guardians need to contact me if you are not able to complete the work for what ever reason.

This week is another opportunity to show your maturity, independence and resilience to overcome any challenge. I know it is not easy having to do your school work from home but trust me, everything you do at home these weeks will stand to you. As I said in an earlier post, please try to replicate a school structure of some kind at home, but I know it’s hard but please do try. That’s all I ask!. This Friday is your Easter holidays – officially - yippee! Work hard for a few hours a day completing your homework, IXL and fun challenges on here and then you get two weeks off to savour your well earned Easter eggs and take a break from school work!

As for the person who answered the most questions all week... it was neck and neck between Omar, Zara-Leigh, Alex and Paul until someone managed to log in over the weekend and bypass both Omar and Zara – Leigh (both on 307 questions) and cruise into second place, and then managed to pass out Paul (320 questions) to take pole position and that was Alex with 330 questions answered! Brilliant Alex, 5 dojo points being added right now!! Keep it up!!!
