If you’re reading this, then congratulations on making to the last home learning day before the summer break.
As this is the last post, it’s a good opportunity to reflect on our learning journey. Take some time to sit with an adult and reflect on all that you have learned this year. It might be learning that has taken place in school or at home.
After your discussion, create a piece of work to show off what you have learned.
Have fun and get creative.
We hope you enjoy your break and we look forward to seeing you in September… Even our Year 6 leavers if you want to pop by and say hello.

Maths – symmetry
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/ztpyr82
Use a mirror (if you have one – don’t worry if not) to look round your house for any line of symmetry. Think about what shapes could be folded in half without any overlap. Would each half be a mirror image of itself? eg a window, a table. Take photos, draw them or write a list.
Challenge
Draw a butterfly. Complete the pattern on one half first and then try to copy the pattern on the other half to create a symmetrical pattern.
Reading
Read the farewell letters from each teacher.
Dear 1,2V
I cannot believe we will not get to say a proper goodbye to each other. I hope you are all safe and happy and looking forward to the summer holidays. We will see each other when we all get back to school, even if we are in different classes. Miss you!
Love Mrs Latham
Dear 2KN
I am sad that you’re leaving year two but I’m so glad I got to teach you all. We have had so much fun together and I am proud of each and every one of you. Keep being you.
From
Miss Lowry & Mrs Lake
Dear 1K
It may not be the end of year we expected but it has been a pleasure to teach you all. I hope you all have a wonderful and well earned break over the summer holidays. I’m looking forward to seeing you all once we return to school.
From Miss Parling
Dear 1,2
You will always hold a special place in my heart because you are my first class. I cannot believe that we will not get to say a proper goodbye to each other. It’s time to enjoy the summer holidays! I’m looking forward to seeing you all when we return to school.
Love Miss Harker

Maths : time
Think about how long it takes you to do an activity.
Look at the clock when you start and when you finish and work out how much time has gone past. Which activities take the longest amount of time? What activities are quick? Record some of your activities and how long they take in your home learning book.
How many star jumps can you do in 1 minute? Use this to estimate how many you could do in 10 minutes!
Think about what time you do certain activities during the day. What time do you have lunch, go to bed, watch the television? You could make a diary of your day.
Practice reading both analogue and digital clocks.
Reading
Read the different ways of saying goodbye in different languages. Can you find any more?
