However, below we have added some activities that you might like to complete. Don’t forget to keep playing TT Rockstars and reading using Fiction Express. We would love to see what you get up to so please email us too.
Stars of the Week
There has been some amazing work shared this week through emails and Teams. The teachers have picked some children who they believe need a special mention. Our Stars of the week are…
From 5RB is Izaaq: For creating his own balanced argument about schools reopening. An excellent balanced argument which discussed a current issue, it was well written and included a variety of relevant features! Very impressive.
From 5JT is Layla: For her consistent motivation and approach to her home learning. Layla shares her work – which is of a high level and it is fantastic to see her learning each week.
From 5AS is Jacob M: For his amazing English work. A whole pack of on-line work relating to debates and balanced arguments culminating in a brilliant letter to Mrs Ellis.
TT Rockstars
Well Done to everyone who took part in the ‘Teachers v Year 5’ battle on Thursday. Below are the results…

REAL PE
Real P.E.
Real PE at home includes an online programme which supports families to be active, play and learn together. It includes a programme specifically for children in Early Years and Key Stage 1 with 12 themes, 6 areas, over 250 activities and challenges and 1000s of hours of fun and activity. This programme is great for family play and fun.
For children in Key Stage 2, there are carefully selected personal best challenges, skills and games designed for the home and garden.
