Good morning everyone! I hope you are all taking part in daily exercise and are able to get out and enjoy some fresh air.  I always enjoy looking at your work as it brightens my day and I can’t wait to see pictures of your Traction Man baddie  You are all doing an excellent job and I am very proud of you. It would be lovely if you could create a rainbow picture to put up on your windows to make North Finchley colourful.

Investigation: Walk around your home with an adult. What containers can you see? A bath? A sink? Talk to your adult - What would you use to fill them up the quickest? Would it take longer to fill a bath with a glass or a bucket?

Topic (30 mins) – Computing – Every hero needs a villain to go up against! You have already created a Traction Man or Traction Girl of your own, now it is time to create a new villain.
