Hello Year 5! I hope you are well and have been enjoying the sunshine. It has been lovely to speak to some of you on the phone over the past couple of weeks and it has been great receiving messages from some of you. It’s lovely to hear about all the amazing things you have been getting up to.

I would just like to say how proud I am of each and every one of you. When I have spoken to children on the phone, you have all been so positive, which is amazing. I am also impressed with all the fantastic learning I can see taking place through the Home Learning showcase. Kaden, your research on Earthquakes was fantastic, well done! Erin, your science experiment looked fantastic and Chloe your rocket is amazing! You are all dealing with the current circumstances really well and making the most of this experience, you should all be really proud of yourselves.

Below are your home learning activities for this week. Please remember that you do not have to complete these learning tasks, they are optional. I have included some websites such as teacher’s pet, BBC Bitesize, Phunky Foods and Classroom secrets on the main learning page as they are also uploading weekly home learning tasks.
