Hello Year 5 & 6,

I hope you have all had a lovely week and have enjoyed getting back into some schoolwork! It was absolutely lovely to hear all your voices again, to hear what you have been up to and most importantly to know you are safe and happy. I can only apologise to those who I rang and they were still in bed, in the middle of their lunches or in the case of one you, enjoying the hot tub!

Roxanne, I believe it is your birthday today (27th April) I hope you have a great day, I can’t wait to hear all about it.

Please see below a little bit of a summary of this week’s activities you will find on the website. Please remember, if it is all abilities, then find a sheet you are comfortable with and have a go, alternatively use this as a rule of thumb;

H – Try the one star sheet first

I & T – The two star sheets

F & A - The three star ones

Please don’t think you can’t do the next sheet up, I want you to if you feel comfortable with it!

• English – complete the SPaG mats and then use the stimulus to complete the story.

PS: Some words from Miss Kealey herself;

Hi boys and girls!!

It’s Miss Kealey here, I asked Mr Goodwin if I could add a little message to this week’s letter.. and for the record, no I did not get that cheese Easter egg, although I’m sure Mr G would have bought me one if we’d been in school.

I’m so glad to hear that you’re all safe and well and have been working hard on the weekly tasks. I’ve enjoyed seeing some of the photographs that have been sent in too. Myself, Eden and Fraser have been working hard at home too, we are all safe and well and have enjoyed spending some lovely family time together. The Easter holidays were filled with time in our garden, scootering, walking, eating chocolatey treats and movie or board game nights. I hope you all had a good break too.

I miss you all very much.. your smiley faces, your silly jokes and your endless energy..

Keep being your lovely selves and I will write again soon.

Take care, keep safe and be good.

Miss K
