Hello children! 

I hope you are all well.  Well done for all of your hard work last week, you all put lots of effort into your home learning. I really enjoyed reading your VE day recounts. Sounds like lots of you had a great day in the sun. 

Please keep uploading any work you have done at home onto Purple Mash in your work folder and if you have run out of books on Active Learn please email me so I can put more on for you. 

Thank you and have a lovely week!
