Ok guys, this week is the last week we have to pack before we go to Butlins and then move!!

Mon - Dance lessons evening 5:15

Tue - Dance lessons 10:30

Wed - Visit to the Buddhist centre

Thu - Taking the cats to Woodgreen. Amy St.Johns

Fri -

Sat - Danny's Birthday

So I want you to pack up everything in your rooms this week. You should have 1 box which you can use to keep everything you will need to keep with you until we move.

Everything else should go either .... in the trailer to go to the tip .... in a box to take to the new house, make sure boxes are filled right up and sealed with tape - don't forget to label them so we know they're yours. (then put the boxes in the lounge) .... in a box to go to a charity shop. (in the dining room) ....any furniture that is going to the new house needs to go in the living room.

*IMPORTANT* BY SUNDAY NIGHT YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST A MATTRESS, BEDDING AND 1 BOX OF THINGS YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT UNTIL WE MOVE.

12th - 16th March ALICE

Alice's posts are going to be a little different as we don't do any "structured" work with her at the moment - but she is forever asking me questions, some of them we answer straight away, and others need a bit longer to look into or maybe arrange a trip to find out more about.

"Do all animals need water?"

"Why did the dinosaurs die?"

"Why are Strawberries called Strawberries?"

"Does everyone have a belly button?"

"How fast can animals run?"

"How do you milk a cow?"

"Why are sheep's wool white?"

Just a few to be going on with ...

"Why are sheep's wool white?"

12th - 16th March, DANNY.

As it's Amy's Birthday this week and we already have 2 trips planned, Big bang fair on Thursday and Burghley House on Friday; we'll just be finishing off from last week and doing a little about Burghley house.

Astronomy - Tell me more about what a "Supernova" is - you can include pictures from the internet or drawn and some information - try and make it easy to understand so even I can understand it!!

Maths - Remind me to speak to Conquer Maths about getting you on their system at a reduced price.

English - Go to the following web address and follow the instructions - you can print the sheet out if it's easier. http://www.teachingideas.co.uk/history/files/cctudors.pdf

Physics - Find out what an "Astrolabe" is. Once you've found some information yourself - check out this website http://www.schoolsliaison.org.uk/kids/aston/changingtimes/tudors/inventions.htm

Find out what other things the Tudor's invented and if they've been overtaken by new things now.

Hey sweetie, Happy Birthday!!!

Today we have trips already planned for Thursday (Big Bang Fair) and Friday (Burghley House) and your birthday on Tuesday so not much other stuff really. You also have St.Johns ambulance on Thursday evening as long as we are back in time.

So, mainly just finishing off from last week and a bit around Burghley House. (That spelling doesn't look right to me but it is how it's spelt on my emails)

Citizenship - Write up about the animal rights issues brought up in the film we watched.

Maths - Complete the lesson you were stuck on last week, hopefully it should be a lot easier now you've gone over it with Hannah.

English - Finish off writing out your assignment, fill out the form and get it sent off asap.

Art and Design - Find some examples of Elizabethan Architecture and look for the similarities between them.

Have a good week honey. xx
