Class 9 Catch Up 1.4.20

Date: 1st Apr 2020 @ 10:44am

Hello Class 9!

You're now approaching two weeks off school and I hope you have found lots of things to keep you busy? I have really missed seeing you all and watching you mature into young adults ready for secondary school. All feels very strange!

The weather has been warm and fairly sunny this week, so I've made the most out of it and spent lots of time in the garden. However, the downside to that is that my wife expects me to complete lots of jobs e.g. mow the lawn, tidy up the borders and pull up the weeds - not really my cup of tea. I found a school football in the boot of my car so playing with that has been a good way to break up the jobs but Mrs Mawson was not too impressed when I hit her favourite plantpot - more practise needed  Have any of you been playing in the garden?

As we are only allowed outside once a day for our daily exercise, my wife and I have been going for a daily walk along the Leeds and Lverpool canal. We go nice and early to ensure that we see as few as people as possible (due to social distancing measures - not to be rude ). We have both loved seeing all of the ducks on our travels (they are really funny to watch) and we even spotted a swan. Have any of you been on any nice walks? Have you spotted all of the Rainbow pictures in people's windows? Have you made any?

I have completed a few sessions with Joe Wicks and must say I found them a lot harder than I expected. Those lunges and 'bunny jumps' are a killer. You most definitely feel them the next day! Have any of you been tuning into them? Has anybody completed every session? You must feel like Superman now if you have! 

How are you getting on with your learning packs? Remember - 'A little a day ensures the brain doesn't go away' - I've just made that up but it works I guess 

I hope you’re enjoying TTRockstars? I’ve been playing it and have gotten quicker - however I have to admit defeat to Miss Parr in Class 5 - she is just too good. I’ve had quite a few Rockslams with some of you and some of the teachers too. Have a go at challenging me or them to a 1-1  battle on the 'Multiplayer tab.'

Maybe you could learn something new while you’re off school? Could you learn to cook a meal or Mr Mawson's dinner? Learn some German to congratulate Jurgen Klopp on his Premier League win? Learn to fasten your shoelaces - so I don't have to fasten 20 children's laces before football practice?  The world is your oyster!

I don't know about you but I have missed seeing you all complete your 'Daily 4 Rules Challenge.' Therefore, I have included one below for you to attempt if you wish. You can send your answers or a picture of your completed sums to me via email which can be found at the bottom of the blog.

If you would like to send me a quick message to say 'Hi' or tell me what you've been up to, I'd love to hear from you. You can email me  - [email protected]

Feel free to send over any completed 4 Rules Challenges too. 

Keep yourselves and your loved ones safe by staying home. 

Miss you all,

Mr Mawson
