Fabulous Home Learning

This week has been lovely to welcome a few more members of 5/6 S back into school, however I’m really missing us all being a class together. Thank you to those people who have continued to send me emails and photographs of your home learning. It really helps me feel like I’m still your teacher!

There has been some great art work going on this week in celebration of Pride week. I love the bright, vivid colours on the posters. Imogen has sent in her recount from the writing lesson this week and Lucas has enjoyed completing his fractions learning. I hope you are all continuing to persevere  with your home learning. I imagine that sometimes it’s difficult to get motivated, however just remember that your learning is important and that you are all fab at it. Remember to get some exercise too in between the torrential rain showers – or you could dance in the rain! Stay happy and healthy everyone. I miss you!
