English L.O: To write a third person narrative.

Activity 1: Listen to Chapter 19 of 'Pig Heart Boy' on the Learning--> Stories page of the website.

In the chapter we have just read, it is beginning to dawn on Cam that whilst many people are happy for him and his new heart, many of his peers (in particular, Julie) are afraid of being near him. They don't see him as the same Cameron Kelsey that he was before, and instead view his as 'different' 'weird' or even a threat.

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!
