We are continuing our unit about biographies of inspirational figures today. Yesterday, you started to find out about and research into Harriet Tubman's life; today you're moving another step closer to writing a biography.
Your learning intention for today's lesson is: To develop a rich understanding of words associated with being hard-working.

Afternoon
Computing
We are going to have a go at doing a computing unit from home. The unit we're going to do it about spreadsheets.
I have attached a powerpoint below which talks you through the lesson. Once again, you will need to click on the volume symbol on the slides to hear my instructions.
-Spreadsheets 1 12.01.21.pptx-
When you have completed the powerpoint, you will need the activity sheet below. I have explained what to do on the last slide of the powerpoint.
-Activity Sheet Number Operations.pdf-
You will need 2 spreadsheet documents for this lesson. They are called 'cells and data' and 'number operations'. I have saved these on teams. They are under files, then computing resources, then 12.01.21 spreadsheets. I can show you how to find these during our Teams call this afternoon if you're struggling to find them.
Have a great day, and I'll see you all this afternoon. Mrs Barker x
