Good morning Oak Class! I hope you’re all ok and had a lovely day yesterday. I just want to say well done again to you all for engaging with the online learning. You’re doing brilliantly! Remember to send us your work and let us know how you’re getting on. Now for today’s work…

Note them down. We are all unique! What makes you unique? Write down a list of things that make you unique. It could be something unique about your appearance, about your family, about your hobbies/interests etc.
Task 2. Write your ‘Unique’ poem all about you. Follow this format:

Following on from this morning’s Extension English lesson (don’t worry those of you who chose to do the BBC lesson – you can still do this activity) I’d like you to access the 2Do I’ve set you on Purple Mash. The task is to make a poster using pictures and writing to tell people all about you. For those of you who wrote the poem this morning, you can use lots of your ideas for what makes you unique and special. I want the poster to be a celebration of you because you are all so wonderful! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

One of the activities requires you to print a work sheet so if you can do this, great. If not, don’t worry, just do the other activities and have a look at that one on the screen and just think about it.
Thanks Mrs Fitz. I’ll start after breakfast! Miss everyone so much. See you all soon I hope.
Love Iona xx
