• In English, you will be creating characters in story writing

Daily Challenge:

When I spoke with some of you before half term, some pupils wanted some extra work to do! So  I will be putting on some extra daily challenges! You can choose to do them if you wish!

Today is a maths game – you can play it against your parent/carer or even an older brother or sister! It is designed to get you to think quickly and have fun!

It is called Strike It Out and is a simple strategy game using calculation skills https://nrich.maths.org/6589

This challenge is from nRich and is ‘Live’ (meaning that they have posted it for children to have a go and submit solutions or answers for how to solve the problem or how to play the game) You can submit your solutions on the website itself, using the Submit Solution link – ask your grown ups’ permission, of course!

Have a fab day and enjoy the sunshine!
