Good morning year 6
Well wasn't yesterday's weather glorious and today promises to be even better.
We just won't look at the thunderstorms due for Thursday.
Did you know that on this day in 1927, Charles Lindburg, at the age of 25, became the first person to fly non-stop across the Atlantic. It took him an incredible 33 and a half hours. How on earth did he stay awake for that long? He became a hero overnight and 4 million people came to see him on a parade through New York City upon his return.

Have a go at these examples, trying to summarise the content rather than repeat it exactly:
