For something a wee bit different, BBC bitesize has this Spanish lesson where Sergio Aguero will teach you how to count to 12 in Spanish. If you manage it maybe you could see how many more Spanish words you could learn. Mrs Ferguson was practising the spelling words with Grace yesterday and they came up with a great way to learn the words. They made little flashcards and wrote each word out twice and then used them to play pairs. What a great idea! You could also play snap with them too. Why not give it a try? Selina became an officer in the Daughters of the King organization and was also an active member of her church and the local history society. Although her husband did become a US citizen it is uncertain as to whether Selina ever relinquished her British citizenship. Her mother later died in New York on 4 August 1937. Good Morning Everyone and Happy Friday. Mrs Ferguson and I have really enjoyed speaking to all the parents and the children this week. It’s been lovely to hear how everyone is getting on at home.

Mrs Arthur Henry Cook was born Selina Rogers on 6 April 1890 in Rotherfield, Sussex, England. She was the daughter of James Henry Rogers (b. 1857), a poultry worker, and Margaret Howard (b. 1856). Her father was native to Rotherfield whilst her mother was a northerner, originally from Sedbergh in Yorkshire; they had married in 1886. Selina had four siblings: Harold (1888-1961), Effie (b. 1892), Hilda Jane (b. 1893) and Charles John Howard (b. 1896). She also claimed her 52-year-old ex-husband had a habit of drinking heavily, in one incident in 1987 passing out on the floor of a hotel with a brandy bottle. Good morning everyone! I hope your week is going well. I was so disappointed at first to see that the weather had changed but it’s made us think of all the fun things we can do inside instead. Mr Cook found all his old Lego from when he was a wee boy and he’s been building it all with Adam. The two of them have been having a great time. We also took inspiration from Mrs Govans’ head teacher challenge and played a new board game together. We played Pictureka and it was great fun.

I thought it would be fun to do a little Art lesson today and I found this one on YouTube that shows you how to draw Baby Yoda from the Mandalorian… it’s super cute! If you try it, I’d love to see a photo. You could post it on your blog. Yesterday was such a beautiful day and I hope you were all able to get outside and enjoy the sunshine. Today is supposed to be just as nice so bearing that in mind, I’ve decided to give you one main task and then a list of activities that you could do outside in the garden.

If you are looking for something a wee bit different to do today, I found a maths challenge on BBC bitesize that looks fun. I think you could definitely do challenge 1 and 2 and if you are really confident you could give 3 and 4 a try too!
