Hi Team Rees-Boughton,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! I didn't end up going on a bike ride but I did do an online quiz with my family and I watched my favourite film ... The Sound of Music which always cheers me up!

PE: Today I would like you to log in to Joe Wicks, he has a special guest joining him today due to his sore hand! Have fun!

English: The stories you guys have been writing so far are incredible! I am so proud of each and every one of you! Today we are going to edit and revise them. So you need to grab 2 different coloured pens or pencils to do this.

Colour 1: This is you editing pen which we correct punctuation and spelling. Therefore I would like you to find 3 words which you found spelling a bit tricky. I would then like you to use a dictionary either online or in a book to edit the spellings of them. Then I would like you to use the Common Exception Word Mat below to check if you need to correct any words below. 
Then I would like you to check your punctuation, particularly full stops and capital letters. If you're struggling read it out loud and usually when you come to a natural pause you need to add a full stop or maybe a comma. 

Colour 2: This is your revising pen which we up-level our work with. I would like you to see if you can add 3 adjectives and 3 adverbs to your writing.
Remember, an adjective describes a noun e.g. the blue butterfly and an adverb describes a verb e.g. the man was running quickly.

Don't worry if your work becomes 'messy', you are going to be 'publishing' it tomorrow!

Spelling: Can you dot and dash the words below.

Maths: This week we are going to revise time. Today we are going to revise o'clock and half past.
Remember:
When the big hand is on the 12 it is o'clock
When the big hand is on the 6 it is half past
 

Have a go at filling in the times on the sheet.

Topic:
The two significant people explored so far wanted to use their time and expertise to help those who needed support for their health. Do you remember how Seacole experienced some difficulty, because back in the 1850’s, people didn't always treat others with respect. A core value we use at school is diversity and we remember the story of Beryl the Butterfly (see below). Today, in general people are treated far more equally, but there is still some way to go with making sure everyone – regardless of their gender, ethnicity or beliefs – are treated with equal concern. 

Another famous activist, who actually campaigned for equal rights for black people, was Nelson Mandela who was born in 1918, can you add him to your tiimeline
 NM’s contributions towards the fair treatment of everyone had a profound impact  because of his approaches. He was a non-violent , anti-apartheid activist who wanted people of all ethnicities to work together equally.
Take a look at this video:

Denying someone basic care, rights or opportunities because of their skin colour is unfair. Even when NM was imprisoned, he continued to argue his views with peace and respect and when he was released, it was a very happy day for all people who wanted equal rights for all. His approaches made people think and change their behaviour and views– which makes him very significant in the way people were treated.
Below are some of NM best quotes. Choose your favourite and think about the meaning of the quotes. 

Recorded task: When NM gave speeches, many of his speeches were quoted by others to spread his messages of peace and hope. Can you create your own quote today about equality, peace and hope. Maybe it could be about our current situation ...
These can be decorated and even displayed around your room or put up in your windows.

Helping at Home: Find your adult and see how you can help make their day a little better? 

Happy Monday!

Love Miss R-B, Mr Brown, Mrs Fetherston and Charlie Fudge xx
