Hello Year 5/6 S

Hello.

Well we are nearing the end of another week in lockdown. I thought I’d see how you are all getting on? I hope you are all still working hard on your home learning, but also remembering to spend some time in the fresh air (and rain) as this is very important. There are still some people that I haven’t heard from yet, so please send me an email to let me know what you’ve been up to. Thanks to all those people who keep in regular contact- I love getting your emails.

Keep in touch and let me know what yummy things you’ve eaten recently and how you’re all keeping yourselves entertained.

30 April 2020: Hall of (home learning) Fame

Thank you to Ava for sending me a photo of her learning this morning. She obviously enjoyed the music task. I like the way she has used the word ‘tempo’ and also included her mum’s favourite song. Thanks also to Charlie who emailed me to tell me his favourite song is  Bleed America by Jimmy Eat World – have a listen to it if you get chance.

Ava also sent in her maths learning for today – she has been completing the angle task. Well done!

When you have written your article, please send it to your class teachers. The best ones will be posted on the website at the end of the week. Good luck!
