There were loads this week! It was great to see you replying to each other and asking each other questions. I want this to keep happening and maybe more people will join in!

10 merits – Adem – Reaching ten is always amazing. Well done!
9 merits – Yi-Xuan – So close to ten!
6 merits – Nala – If you score ten every week from now until the end, you could reach 100 merits…
5 merits – Nariyah – I believe you can score the most one week, if you really set your mind to it!
4 merits – Demi – That’s your most in one week Demi!
3 merits – Dila – Thank you for the comments, but do the work I emailed you as well to score more merits!
2 merits – Kianosh – I know you can score higher than that. More comments and more emails please!
1 merit – Yasmin – I want to see more comments and more work from you!
Let’s hope we get some merits won by children missing from this list next week. Now we are learning at home for the rest of Year 2, I expect everyone to be doing at least one thing each week.

TTDE = Through the Dragon’s Eye
Remember what an acronym means? It’s when only the first letter of each word is used to spell something new. Today is episode three. Remember there are ten in total. Enjoy watching it, and then have a go at today’s comments challenge – acronyms!
Fun fact – in this episode when he was at primary school, Mr Morgan learned what a ‘quagmire’ was. Look out for the word in the episode.
Do you now know what a quagmire is? What other words do you remember that began with qu?
Make me a list of words beginning with ‘qu’ and send them to westgreen.yellowclass@gmail.com if you want!

3. ASAP
4. ROI
