Year 5/6 Mrs Powell

Lyrics - I'm an 11-year-old

Diary Entry

Please write a diary entry all about the heatwave! What did you do during the school closure? How did you keep cool? Are you enjoying the hot weather or hoping it cools down a little bit? 

You can write the diary entry in your homework books or write on the blog.

Work during school closure

Please find below an arithmetic paper and a variety of work linked to Floodland, the book we are currently studying in English. Please choose from the selection and complete in your Homework Book or on lined paper.

I will also attach the Year 6 play songs and lyrics for Year 6 to practise.

Please also refer to the Summer 2 Homework sheet.

Thank you!

Summer Term Homework

We have a new PE day! After Easter, Year 5/6 will have PE on a Tuesday. PE this term will be Cricket.

We were delighted to receive a class set of book gifts from ABC to Read. The bags - containing a Tom Gates book, a notebook, pencil case and stationery - were donated to ABC to Read by Intuitive Surgical Limited, who made them after receiving a grant from United Way Costco. The children were over the moon with the gift bags!
