Hi Emerald class 

  Can you believe it’s the last week of the summer term and the school year? It certainly has been a strange end to the year! Let’s hope we can all be together again in September.

Some of Emerald class are back in school as part of our key worker group.  They are doing the same learning as the children at home.  

Keep up the good work and keep posting on the blog and sending emails to let us know what you've been doing and showing us your work.  Remember you can share photos and work on purple mash.

English:

This week I would like you to work through these tasks:

1. Writing:

I hope you’ve enjoyed chapter 6 of our exciting book Settlers. There were some fantastic pieces of writing last week about River! This week it’s the final chapter. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading it as much as I have!

There are 5 different activities to do with a book review to write. Click on the links below and have a go:

 After you have read the chapter, you can do the activities in any order you’d like!

Time to discuss

Mrs Wilson is posting all the picture news discussions onto the collective worship and discussion pages. This week's picture is focused on discussing whether holidays are important? Have a look at the picture and may be have a chat with your family about their opinions. Maybe you have had to change your holiday plans this year.

Remember you can also email us or Mrs Gale using the 2 email feature on purple mash.

We hope you and your families are all well. Keep busy and keep in touch everyone. Hopefully we'll be back together again soon.
