Remember that the cross country will be coming up straight after the holidays. Now that swimming is winding down, it is a good time to build up your fitness on dry land. Your challenge this week is to run non-stop for at least 5 minutes. See how long it takes for you to run a kilometre (3 times round the playground).

Are your basic facts improving? Do you have evidence? Keep using those "150 sheets"

Word Wall words to study this week:
  • acquire
  • desirable
  • governor
  • mischievously
  • prejudice 
  • shepherd
  • advertisement

  • grammar
Have a great week.
