Half way through the first week! What did you make of Shakespeare's famous poem from Macbeth? Perhaps you enjoyed reading it aloud and pretending to be a witch... Hopefully you also came up with the suggest target audience for our Class pages! 

It was SO lovely to see you on Zoom yesterday. It definitely got our days off to a good start!

The Three Witches Potion from Macbeth!

Today we are going to practice reading and performing the poem out loud. Think about when we performed 'Talkin' Turkeys'. How did change the volume and the tone of the poem? 

Could you memorise key phrases? Could you work with a partner or in a group online, so that you each have key words or phrases to say? What actions will you use to bring the poem to life?

Philosophical Question to finish the day! 

Yesterday's Q:  What are your hopes for 2021? 

Miss Martin: For 2021, I have 2 main hopes. The first being that the vaccine is successful and that I am able to see family members I have been unable to properly socialise with. And the other is to try a new form of fitness; I'm thinking yoga! I've had lots of people recommend it and I think it would be great for mindfulness too :-)

Miss Chapman: 

Mrs. Hudson: I think everyone is hoping the vaccine will give us some normality. I certainly hope you can come in to school again soon. On a less serious front, I would like to do more paddle boarding. I have only done it once, did really well, then fell off spectacularly, which my husband filmed! It still makes me laugh though. Also, I would like to see some snow. Wouldn't that be fun!

Today's Question:  What is the funniest joke you know? Why is it funny?  

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 :-)
