Good morning, Year 5!
How did you find your writing of your Potion conclusions yesterday? Did you manage to sneak in some parenthesis, either using commas or dashes? How are you feeling about your multiplication? Remember, your key 12x12 table facts can help you with this - you just apply them to bigger sums!
Keep uploading your work on Tapestry. We love to see it.

Philosophical Question to finish the day!
Yesterday's Q: What is true happiness?
Miss Martin: Hmm.. I think this is going to look different for everybody. I think true happiness is a situation where you find yourself feeling completely content, safe and are achieving what you want to achieve/ being what you want to be. Everybody's happiness is going to look different and I think that's what makes this question hard to pinpoint but wonderful to think about :-)
Miss Chapman: I wonder if many actually experience true happiness. To me that describes when there are no worries, anxieties or fears only happiness (positive emotions). All the three I described are innate to humans as they are emotions - some feel these more than others. Although it may be a small worry, anxiety or fear - having them surely means you aren't truly happy? On the other hand, despite having these emotions so long as we can regulate/control our response I suppose one could be truly happy.
Mrs. Hudson: I agree with Miss Chapman and Miss Martin. I think we need to appreciate all our happy times. I think the Lockdown experience has made us appreciate everyday happiness, such as hearing the birds singing, doing fun things with our immediate families and appreciate our friends and classmates. I think we should think about what makes us happy each day. So what has made you happy today? For me it was having porridge with cinnamon- you see the little things. :)
Today's Question: Can we have happiness without sadness?
Spend some time during dinner or at some point in the evening, discussing this with the other people at home! We're sure there will be some interesting responses :-)
