Next week you have the opportunity to take part in the Jorvik Viking Centre's virtual activites. Every day at 10.00am and 2.00pm, a member of their Virtual Outreach team will be hosting a live ‘Meet the Viking’ session from York. The sessions will be broadly similar each day – so you can pick the best time to watch one – and last for around 20-25 minutes each.
Today Captain Sir Tom Moore sadly died at the age of 100 years old. He was a true inspiration to many people, raising money for the NHS and lifting people's spirits during lockdown.
To remember this legendary man, can you do 100 exercises of your choice. Send photographs of your physical activities to your class teacher.
RIP Captain Sir Tom.

These posters have great strategies on them to practise mindfulness.
Practise these activities each day and then when you are feeling anxious, stressed or frustrated try to use them to make you feel calmer.
I know I like to use 'Go through your senses' when I can't get to sleep. It works every time :)

Jodrell Bank Observatory is the UK’s latest UNESCO World Heritage Site and an icon for British science and engineering. Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre have many great science resources that you can use at home.
Why not design your own alien? - look at the SETI and 'alien life' section; or go on a journey to the moon- have a look at the 'watch the skies' section; or listen to some of the talks and lectures and be inspired.
This week is Children's Mental Health week so here are lots of different activities you can do to take a break from all your learning.
- Daily Mile Bingo = Walk or run your daily mile. Earn a certificate if you get a full house.
- Football, Rugby or Athletics Bingo = The first 3 themed bingo grids in a series of 6. For each full house you complete you earn a medal and if you complete all 6 then you get a School Games badge. You can either send your entries to your class teacher or submit them via the details at the bottom of the bingo grid.
I am so impressed with everybody in school and at home who are working so hard. Keep up all of your efforts Year 6.
This week the stars of the week are Aidan and Amelia.
Aidan's enthusiasm and hard work over the last week has been really incredible. I am impressed with all of the work that you have produced Aidan. Well done.
Amelia joins in with the remote learning well following the lessons carefully and participating well. I have been very impressed with your maths work in particular.
Congratulations to you both.
Well done to everybody who continues to work hard in school and at home. I am missing us being together as a class so much and I really enjoy seeing so many of you through our Zoom sessions.
This week is Children’s Mental Health Week and so I thought it would be nice to hold a mini ‘Y6 has talent’.
On Friday you will all have the opportunity to share some positive talents to cheer everybody up.
Here is another resource that you can use to help you enjoy the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch this weekend. It includes instructions on how to make homemade bird food and feeders, a link to help you record your results and a link to a live webcam where you can see and have a go at identifying the birds as they visit the feeders.
I really hope that you enjoy taking part in the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch!
This kindness challenge is all about caring for others, which is a great way to help everyone to feel positive and improve our mental wellbeing.

Just a reminder that it is the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch this weekend. This is a great bit of citizen science where we can help to find out about the populations of birds across the country. More information can be found here: https://www.rspb.org.uk/get-involved/activities/birdwatch
