Hi Team R-B,

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

PE: Have you completed any of the Viking Games Challenges yet? Don't forget to email Mrs Horrgan with any videos and photos of you doing your challenges.

Maths: The pupils of Appleby Academy are very excited to be going on their school trip to Maythorpe Zoo. They have been learning about animals in class and they are thrilled to finally be going to see the chimpanzees, zebras, tigers, meerkats and many more wonderful animals!
They know which groups they are in, they know who their group leader is and they have everything they need.
They get on the coach, squabble over the back seat and soon they are off, singing ‘The Wheels on the Bus’ at the tops of their voices.
When they arrive, they leave their bags in a great big tub and are led away to see the first group of animals. The trip is going swimmingly, with everyone having a ‘whale’ of a time.
However, disaster has struck! Someone has opened the door to the macaw enclosure and all the birds have flown into the nearby trees!
Your task is to use the descriptions of the suspects and solve the clues to discover who caused chaos with the missing macaws.
Every day this week there will be a task to help you solve the mystery of the missing macaws! Good Luck Team R-B :) 

English: Today your task is to fim yourself reading your moral and post it on Padlet for everyone to see!
