Our class Zoom to catch up and share the work we have been doing on the Sunflower Project will be on Friday 19th June at 9:15am. The meeting code and password has been sent to you in a text. Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow and the work you have done!

 

During this uncertain time for everyone across the world, keeping safe is the most important thing. As you will no doubt be spending many hours at home, it's an opportunity to do all the things together that you may not always have the time for. Please enjoy the extra time you will get to spend together and I am looking forward to hearing what you have all been getting up to soon. I am also missing you all and am looking forward to us hopefully being back together as a class in the near future.

 

Below are some useful websites that are used in school, along with some links to other activities that could be done at home for fun and learning. There are also plenty of things to do in your home learning packs too so choose what interests you!
