Well done Year 4/5, you've reached Thursday, day 4 of home learning and you're all doing an amazing job. I'm so proud of each and every one of you.

Just a couple of things. Please check the work you are completing is for your year group. You don't want to end up with extra, or work you don't understand. 

Please could Mrs Casey's group start sending in the Maths? I will forward it to her. I believe she is quite bored at home with nothing to do!

I will not be participating with the Joe Wicks workout as now my legs hurt too much, but you still can! You are allowed out and about to get exercise, walking, running, or cycling, whatever you fancy. Just keep two metres away from other people. It's important to get fresh air and sunshine on your skin. Yesterday I rode my bike around the cycle paths near me and it was lovely.
