I know it seems like it has been quite a long process, but we are now moving into the final stages of writing our newspaper article. Starting towards the end of next week we will be moving onto a different area – I am currently recording a series of lessons to upload.

Please continue to upload your exercises from the session onto your ClassDojo portfolio.
Reading
I would like you to read for at least 30 minutes each day. You can get more ideas and suggestions of reading material from the Reading@Home section above.

You don’t need to print this out – just put your answers on a piece of paper. Don’t forget to send me your ideas from today’s session on your ClassDojo portfolio.
Genius Square Challenge
Using the game you made last week (if you have not done this yet, you can find the instructions here) these are the co-ordinates for the ‘blocker pieces’ for some more games:
Game 1: E1 F1 D2 B2 A4 E6 E3
Game 2: E1 A6 D2 B2 B5 E5 F6
Game 3: F2 F1 D4 C1 A3 D6 D1
Game 4: B6 A6 D4 B1 B5 E4 D1
You can always make another board and challenge a member of your family to a head-to-head game.
