Yesterday, a new writing competition was launched for this week - that's right, THIS WEEK ONLY! It is on the theme of Black Lives Matter. Watch this link today and learn more about it: https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/53193917 You might want to think about this theme from the past, the present or even the future. Then, on Thursday, you will have time to think about and plan your story, as it must be a story, which connects to Black Lives Matter. And on Friday, your English session will be to finish and submit your entry. (Other English sessions will be shifted into next week!) To submit you story, please go to 500words.me and follow the instructions on the website :)

A HUGE thank you to all of the entrants to the Super Sentences competition. It was hard to choose as all of the pictures and sentences really captured the mood of lockdown life. The winner, decided by a panel of Mrs Amos, Miss Pliener and Mrs Georgeson was YUSUF! Well done Yusuf for your poignant and wistful entry. Well done to everyone for their contributions. We really enjoyed them all. Here is the sentence again. If I was busy with school, if I was rushing around, if I was going out all the time then I wouldn't have the time to enjoy the beauty of my garden!

After you have had a go at your science work, try one of these as your Afternoon Challenge:

This week, your teachers are issuing you with 4 challenges. You MUST undertake one of them and provide either photographic or video evidence for your teacher by Sunday evening, 24^th May. (year5@irelandwood.leeds.sch.uk)

Challenge 1: The Y5 IWPS Isolation Bake Off. You need to create a bake off to be proud of. A masterpiece. A showstopper. Come on, guys, impress us! Mrs Georgeson's and Miss Pliener's mum will judge on Sunday!

Challenge 2: A Lip synch battle. Recreate 90 seconds of your favourite ever song, then video yourself ‘lip sync’ performing it, putting in ALL THE MOVES. Mrs Georgeson's boys will judge the best!
Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9wy1Qiiyso
