We have made it to the end of term! Well done everyone for working so hard and showing enthusiasm in everything we do. Your homework is attached below (not on Education City). Please complete each of the sheets, you can print them out or just write the answers on paper or in a notebook. You will also find the Year 5/6 common exception words. These are words that everyone should be able to spell by the end of Year 6. There will not be a spelling test during the first week back, but we would like you to learn these words as much as you can.
Message from Mrs Bagwell: As part of the children's homework for the Easter break, we have asked them to create a poster on A3 or one or two sides of A4 with a focus on 'Awe and Wonder'; we thought it would be lovely to have a display featuring what the children find amazing about our world and beyond. The children have had research time in class and will have brought images and information home. Some of the children have asked to produce this poster on the computer and these documents will be e-mailed out (once complete, they can be e-mailed back). We hope that the children have fun with this project and that they come across information that they find inspiring. We hope you all have a fantastic Easter holiday.
