I hope you are enjoying the term so far. It’s only 4 weeks now until the end of the school year. I have a few surprises to share with you in the coming weeks, so please keep an eye on your emails for further details.
The TEAMS meetings this week have been FAB! I hope you have enjoyed them as much as I have. It was great to see lots of faces that I haven’t seen for a while.
Below, is the last 4 weeks of home learning, which will take you all up to the summer holidays. All activities are based around the theme of detectives and spies! I hope you all enjoy what’s planned!

ENGLISH: Please find attached 10 English Writing Tasks for you to enjoy. The first 6 activities are based on one of my favourite animations: PIGEON IMPOSSIBLE! The following 4 are inspired by GADGETS and SECRET AGENTS. Enjoy watching film trailers of STORMBREAKER and INSPECTOR GADGET to inspire you to design and pitch your own spy gadget. Have you ever fancied being a secret agent? Well now is your chance to write your very own job application to a secret agency.

PE: I know many of you are doing a great job at staying active at home, whether it be walking, biking or swimming in your paddling pools! Take a look at this active calendar. It might give you some extra ideas: Stay Active June Challenges
ICT – CODING: When you return, I would like to use the micro bits to do some coding work. On this website: https://makecode.microbit.org/, you can access all of the interactive lessons and you get a virtual micro bit in the top left corner. Start with the flashing heart tutorial and work your way through to brush up on your skills ready for when we are back. Those of you who are not returning to school, it can be arranged for you to use one at home in a few weeks time, once you have completed the tutorials.
MUSIC: Thank you for all of your Leavers pictures and videos. Don’t forget about the extra challenge I set you. I would love to try and do a class song. See the attached for more details…Cup challenge

Class Information
- PE – We will be undertaking at least two sessions of P.E. each week. At present these will be on Monday and Friday afternoon. Children should bring their P.E. kits in on a Monday and not take them home until Friday as we may complete P.E. at others times, weather depending.
- Homework – Children will receive homework challenges related to their current topic. On top of this Literacy and Mathematics homework may be issued each week on a Wednesday and should be returned the following Monday.
- On Wednesday, children will be tested on their weekly spellings.
- Reading Books – It would be great if you could read regularly with your child. We are no longer using home Reading Record books as we are monitoring reading through the Accelerated Reading Programme. If you have any comments or concerns regarding reading at home please write them in the back of the homework book. If you would still like a separate book to note down when you read with your child then please just ask. I will still be hearing children read in regular guided reading sessions.
