Maths English Read about the three different school uniforms.  Which of these uniforms would you prefer to wear? Why?  Use the revision cards below to remind you of using commas in sentences: Write out the sentences again. Use commas to separate the items in each list.   1.

Hi Rowan class, I hope that you have all had a safe and relaxing holiday.  I've done a lot of organising, cooking and enjoyed my daily walks looking at all the flowers and wildlife.  I look forward to you sending me any activities that you have enjoyed doing over the holidays.   Maths English Read the poem: I am a writer. Read it in your head first and then try reading it out loud. What rhythms and patterns can you hear when you read it aloud? Choose your favourite three images from the poem. Why do you like these images in particular? I am a writer by Joseph Coelho   I am the clash and collide of the stars  because I create worlds.  I am the awareness of the trees because I hear the wind.  I am the sweat of a rainbow  because I refract all the colours.  I am the blood in a pen because I ink arteries.  I am the blade in a sharpener because I make nibs vanish.  I am the edge of a rubber, rounded,  worn and softened by mistake
