Dear parents and children,
Welcome to year 5. It has been wonderful to see you all in school these last few weeks. You have all made an excellent start.
If you need to stay at home and can not come into school to learn, we will continue to help you with your education. We will update this page regularly on work you can do either by yourself, or with the help of an adult. There are more links on the Home Learning page containing subject specific tasks you can complete. You have also been given you login details for Purple Mash which you can access here. There are plenty of activities and tasks you can do so you are not missing out.
The most important thing you can do at home is read. Please read for at least 20 minutes every day – longer if you are not in school. This should be a mixture of reading by yourself and reading with an adult. Please see the links that will take you to online resources in case you have read all your books at home.
Take care of yourself and your family.
Mrs Kirwin, Mr Naylor, Mrs Makh
