We hope you are all feeling refreshed and ready to learn.
Today I have another interesting fact to start your day with - recent research claims that there are 200 million insects for every human on Earth. I wonder how many insects are estimated to be on Earth.

Read one of your school reading books for 10 minutes and ask someone to listen to your response to one of the questions below. If you need a new reading book ask a carer to help you access an ebook on the Oxford Owl website.
Fiction: Who would you most like to meet most in the story? Why?

First turn to page 18, which requires you to think about your box and write the final verse of your magic box poem. Afterwards write a final draft of your whole poem. If you want to, you could additionally create a decorative border around the poem by drawing pictures of the things that are inside your box.

Star of the Day
Our Star of the Day is Macy. We have chosen Macy because her poem finishes with a wonderful description of her box and her handwriting is incredibly neat. Well done Macy!
Daily Reflection
Today has been one of those days when I have felt so proud of you all! The highlight has been reading your thoughtful poems, some of which even brought a tear to my eye. Remember you are all special and are being the best you can be during this lock down. Please be proud of all you have achieved during this unusual time.
