Hi everyone

I'm off to Hagley Oval today to take Mr B (oops I mean!) the cricket team to England v Scotland. Ms Lagan will be teaching you. I am always Tuesday also. A link to my planner can be found here. You'll need this to find your learning links. Please make sure you log into chrome and I can help out if you need me.

Your writing to is A Memory and the marking guides are here also. Don't forget to put your work up on your blog if you have had it reviewed by 2 others.

This afternoon we will begin our science topic. I would like you to create a 'genius hour' presentation of what 'Squeals your Wheels' about science? You can work in pairs. What would you like to find out more about. Germs? Rockets? Research something to find a little more about it.find a simple experiment the demonstrates your area.  These presentations will be presented to the class Thursday. This is also your home learning this week!

See you Wednesday

P.S-Ella...you can sit that test when i get back!
