Good morning, we hope you're all well :  ) We have another busy day but lots of great learning to do. In Maths we'll continue to develop our understanding of perimeter. If you're using the dotted paper, remember not to count the dots but the spaces between them! In English, we continue our Borrowers unit of work. Remember the new vocabulary so you can include it in your writing. Did you watch yesterday's video about chimpanzees? They're pretty smart creatures. Today's reading task is to complete the second page of questions. Our Geography lesson explains why and how rivers flood. Watch the bonus video in the Brain Break Activities section to find out more. Have a great day and keep in touch.
