Here is the song with the words just to remind you!
During Indoor PE we have been learning to put Bollywood dance moves to the song Jai Ho. Can you show someone at home the moves you have learnt? Can our Bollywood experts put some new moves together ready for them to demonstrate to the rest of us?

This week we have been working in groups to produce our play scripts. In the beginning we planned our ideas and created a storyboard each for our movies. We have been working frantically to complete our play scripts. We have decided our next steps are to work our performances. Mrs Daniels and I are so proud of the outstanding team work and brilliant communication that is happening in your groups.

It’s ten past three on Friday and the bell rings. Excitedly, you put on you coat and bag and rush downstairs, ready to start your weekend off playing in the snow. Much to your horror, the doors won’t open. Even Mr Jones can not force them open. You race to the windows to look outside. The whole school is trapped by deep, white snow!
Tomorrow in Writers’ Workshop you are going to be writing the story of what happened when you were trapped in Bearwood Primary School….by snow!
Write down three amazing sentences to use tomorrow. Come prepared!
