Happy half term!

 Dear Parents/Carers

Teachers in Year 5 and 6 would like to wish you all a safe, healthy and happy half term break.  The children certainly deserve the rest!  They have worked so hard this half term and we are all extremely proud of the way they returned to school with such positive attitudes towards their learning and how they adapted to the new 'normal.'

We are very much looking forward to welcoming Year 5 and Year 6 back into their new classes after half term.  We have lots planned and we are excited to begin teaching new topics.  Our project next half term will be One Earth, One Chance.  The children will learn about issues affecting our planet and how we can help to protect it.  In science we will be learning about living things and will be studying the Five Pillars of Islam in RE.

We are sure the children will be pleased that we are not setting homework during half term.  However, they should still be reading at home, using Times Tables Rock Stars and learning spellings.  Spelling lists can be found on the Year 6 Google Classroom page.

Google Classroom pages have now been set up for Ruby, Sapphire and Topaz.  If your child is in Year 5 or 6 please ask them to join the page.  If they are unable to do this without support, their teacher will help them when they return after half term.  

Have a fab week.

Miss Sharman, Mrs Devlin and Mrs Witherall
