Good morning boys and girls. I hope everybody had a nice weekend. It was so lovely to see most of you on the Zoom call on Friday. It really brightened up my day.
As we begin our 5th week of remote learning I understand that on some days it’s difficult to motivate ourselves. Do your best each day and let’s hope we’re back together soon.
This morning, please start by correcting your Friday test from MYM. When you’ve done this please send it to me along with your spellings test. I’ve made a video showing how to work out the MYM so please watch it if you got a question wrong and you don’t understand why.
