Thursday 21st May 2020

Bonjour l'année 6. Nous espérons que tout va bien?

Don't panic, that's your lot in french, for today. We hope there aren't any pink noses from the beautiful sunshine yesterday; it was very hot, wasn't it? Well, it's Thursday and we've nearly made it to half term. Sticking with the biography theme, on this day (21st May) in 1688 Alexander Pope was born, as was Elizabeth Fry in 1780, Mark Cavendish in 1985 and John C Allen in 1907. Maybe you could choose one of them to find out what they are famous for? Not sure whether we like John C Allen or not!

Enjoy your Thursday everyone and keep those good turns going. Wonder how many cups of tea have been made?

Make your own 10 pin bowling set: use toilet or kitchen roll tubes and set them up in a triangle formation.  Use a soft ball to try to knock them down.  You could try a scrunched up piece of newspaper if you haven’t got a suitable ball.
