Hi Emerald class
Welcome to week 4 of summer term! Let’s keep hoping the warm sunshine will return soon! I can see how busy some of you have been.
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. Four children who are still learning at home have been selected to have their Perfect Pet work published in the July parish magazine so well done to those people.
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.

Computing
You have 2 weeks to have a go at the Design a game competition on purple mash. Entries need to be posted on the displayboard by Friday 26th June. When you log onto purple mash, you will find everything you need in the Design a game section under the purple featured bar down the right hand side. I have allocated the game 2DIY3D to you but please check out all the help videos in the Design a Game section. You can keep coming back to your game and working on it but when you finish, please share it to the global display board. Choose the individual one if you have worked on your game by yourself or the family one if it has been a joint effort. Make sure you don’t include any personal information in the game or it will not be approved by the Purple Mash team.
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 when zoos should be allowed to open. Have a look at the picture and may be have a chat with your family about their opinions. Maybe your family are planning a trip to a zoo or have already been to one.
It's been lovely to see some of the exciting activities you've been doing on our blog. Have any of you learnt a new skill? Why don't you post some pictures and let us all know? Remember you can also email us 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.
