How can I win merits and get to the top of the leaderboard?
You get 1 merit for sending work to admin@westgreen.haringey.sch.uk
If there’s loads of work on one email, you might get 2 merits if you’re lucky!
You get 1 merit for any comment. Scroll down and type me a message!
You get 2 merits for completing mymaths well. If you don’t score above 70% on both tasks then I will only give you 1 merit.
You get 1 merit for practising your times tables on times tables rockstars. I can see the last time you’ve practised, only Melina and Vihansa have done so in the holidays.
One last thing… a word search! See if you can find words about the United Kingdom below. Go onto google maps and search for the cities of Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast. Where are they? Why are they important? Tell me in the comments!

Saule says:
Hello Mr. Morgan,
Edinburg is the capital of Scotland. Edinburgh is Scotland’s compact, hilly capital. The city is important because, it has a medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town with gardens and neoclassical buildings. Looming over the city is Edinburgh Castle, home to Scotland’s crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny, used in the coronation of Scottish rulers. Arthur’s Seat is an imposing peak in Holyrood Park with sweeping views, and Calton Hill is topped with monuments and memorials.Cardiff the capital and largest city of Wales, is the United Kingdom’s eleventh-largest city. It is Wales’ chief commercial centre, the base for most national cultural institutions and Welsh media, and the seat of the National Assembly for Wales.
Belfast is Northern Ireland’s capital. It was the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, which famously struck an iceberg and sunk in 1912. This legacy is recalled in the renovated dockyards’ Titanic Quarter, which includes the Titanic Belfast, an aluminium-clad museum reminiscent of a ship’s hull, as well as shipbuilder Harland & Wolff’s Drawing Offices and the Titanic Slipways, which now host open-air concerts.

Wow, you’re very lucky you’ve travelled to so many places in the UK at such a young age! There are so many lovely places to explore in Scotland. Edinburgh, Glasgow, Loch Ness and Ben Nevis! Google ‘Ben Nevis’ and see if you’d like to go there.

Hi Mr Morgan,
Giant Coast is in the North coast of Northern Ireland.
It is a area of a 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, due to a ancient volcanic eruption. Looks like it is very Beautiful.-
All of the stones at Giants Causeway have hexagon faces on the top. It’s amazing that it has been created by nature!

Thanks for the sentences! The Titanic was an enormous ship, do you know the story of how it sunk?
