Year 6 Topic Home Learning - 22/02/21 - 26/02/21
Hello to my amazing Year 6 class. I hope you are all well and keeping safe. It was lovely to see so many of you on our Zoom call this week. You are all working incredibly hard and showing a really positive attitude towards your learning, I am so proud of all of you. Our next Zoom meeting will be on Wednesday 24th February at 1:30pm, it would be great if you could all attend.
Thank you to all those children who have been sending me photos of their incredible work they have been completing at home! It is great to see some of you are completing your own learning tasks alongside the work I have been setting you. Remember, you should be sending me photos of the learning you have completed at home at least once a week and any pictures or documents you send to me must come from an adult’s email address.
I know things have not been easy the past few weeks, but the positive attitude and perseverance each and every one of you have shown during this difficult time is incredible. You should all be so proud of yourselves. I know it can be tricky to get up and complete your online learning sometimes but it will really support you when you come back to school, hopefully it is not long before we are all back together again so keep going Year 6, you can do this!
Remember, if you are finding any of the learning tasks I am setting you tricky and have any questions about any of the learning, you can send me an email and we can go through the learning together. My email address can be found on the Year 6 class page. Also make sure you head over to our Year 6 Learning Gallery regularly as I am posting all the brilliant work you have been sending me on there. I have been receiving so many amazing pictures, I will need to start a third learning gallery soon!
