Welcome to Year 5
Hello Year 5,
I hope you are all keeping well and happy and enjoying completing all the different activities. I have enjoyed seeing the different activities you have been completing so please keep posting them on Twitter.
Above is your new grid for over Easter. It is an important time of the year and we need to think about the true meaning of Holy Week. I am looking forward to seeing what you to do to help you remember this.
You can still complete the activities from previous grids here:

Reading Books - reading is vital to support progress in all curriculum areas. Children must read at home daily, bring their books back in on time and read a range of materials from novels, comics, newspapers and fictional texts. It is important that reading records and books are in school every day and signed prior to being changed.
P.E - P.E in school will take place on a Monday afternoon and a Friday morning. Children should have both their indoor and outdoor kits in school. Please make sure that they have all the necessary kit in school ready for these sessions.

Mrs Gray, Mrs Price and Mrs Cooper.
