P.E.At a time where we all find ourselves indoors for the most of the day, we should bare in mind how important daily exercise is for our health and wellbeing, particularly our mental health. If you are able to, take your device somewhere with plenty of space (even the garden on a nice sunny day) or clear some space in front of your computer and follow along with Joe Wicks for a 30 minute workout. I will definitely be doing the same!

Additional TasksKnowing you all as I do, I know that we all work at our own pace. Whilst many of you will find the work I set each day to be just the right amount, I am also aware that many of you will work through these tasks quickly. For this reason I have attached some additional tasks at the bottom of the page. My aim is to attach a minimum of one per day and they are to be either English or Maths based. I must stress that these additional tasks are OPTIONAL and I do not expect you to complete them if you find that the work set it just the right amount for you! For many of these tasks, the answers will be on the final page so avoid these until you have completed the task(s) first. |
