Good morning everyone!
Did you have a lovely weekend? I hope you enjoyed the sunshine, we got the paddling pool out...although Livvi and Asaph sneaked the bubble bath outside and before we knew it, bubbles were everywhere (they used almost a whole bottle!!). I've checked the weather forecast and it's definitely turning chillier this week, with some rain forecast, so Miss Brookes will be happy!
Remember to email us today to show us your learning, we'd love to see!

Hello from Mrs Hodges!
Before we get into our Sentence of the Day, I'd like you to watch this clip of Chris Hadfield making a sandwich on board the International Space Station:

I never get tired of watching these videos, I'm just in awe of the way scientists have developed ways to live in space!
Here's our sentence for today - I'd love to see your corrected sentence before I post my purple pen video later this afternoon!

Hello from Miss Wendt!
I hope you have all had a lovely weekend, I spent most of my weekend reading in my back garden, pretty perfect really! Even though I know Miss Brookes is looking forward to the rain, I am 100% a fan of the sunshine! It's my birthday tomorrow and even though it's going to be very different from what I had originally planned, I'm really looking forward to it. Katy is making my favourite dessert (I'll show you a picture tomorrow!) and I have a stack of lovely new books to read!
Anyway, on with today's maths! I've got 2 tasks today, a fluent in five and then a problem solving activity. I will post the answers later!

An update with the answers!
Well done to Kyro and Rhianna who answered all questions correctly! They both spotted the x0 and were able to calculate the division with a remainder! Well done both!
Rhianna had an excellent explanation for the problem too - she said that Tommy couldn't order the numbers using as 2 numbers had the same 3 digits - we would need to look at the value of the tens digit before we ordered them.

Good morning from Miss Brookes!
I am secretly looking forward to the rain, but I hope I didn't jinx the weather by asking for it! I thought I would cheer you all up with a story of what happened to me when I was sleeping last night (it'll make you forget about the weather I requested!)
It was around midnight, and I was woken up by a buzzing sound! I turned on my lamp and peered out from under my duvet...only to find a wasp buzzing around! Now I don't normally mind wasps, I'm not one that runs away from a wasp when outdoors, but there is something about being tired and it being dark - that makes a wasp flying around and buzzing in your ear, terrifying!
So, I did the only logical thing I could think of...I hid under my duvet! From my hiding spot, I sent a message to my family, saying something along the lines of 'help. There's a wasp in my room. I'm hiding under my duvet. It is too warm under here' shortly followed by a 'why has no one come to rescue me?' I found out this morning from my mum that she was awake, heard the phone ping, and assumed it wasn't to do with her!
I sent a message out to my friends, and Ms Thornton gave me a tip! She said to use hairspray and tissue to get rid of the wasp. So I readied myself, climbed out from underneath my hiding spot, and turned on the main light. I could still hear the buzzing, but no matter how hard I looked - I couldn't find the wasp anywhere! I then opened my bedroom window as wide as it could go, as well as the blinds (which made my room very light), in hopes that the wasp would leave. I eventually fell asleep again, cocooned underneath my duvet...only to be woken up at 6.30 by a cat screeching in my garden! (I don't even own a cat).
I can still hear a buzzing noise, and my heart is still racing, but I think the wasp has gone now.
Anyway, I thought that story would cheer you up since I've asked for the rubbish weather!
Onto GVP. Today's focus is all about suffixes - and how we use them to convert nouns and adjectives into a verb. Before you watch the video, can you remember what a noun, adjective, verb and suffix is?

Enjoy your Monday!

It's only 15 minutes long, and I highly recommend it!
