Good morning Year 5
We are now on week 8 of home learning and I’m so impressed with the continued hard work and resilience that I’m seeing from everyone. I’ve continued to enjoy reading your writing, seeing the success in your maths work and also hearing from your parents about all the other wonderful things that you have all been doing since we last were together. Please continue to share what you are doing, it’s so important to stay connected. Thank you parents for continuing to update me on how your child is getting on at home. Please can parents that have not updated me for a while get in touch by email just to let me know how everything is going (year5@our-lady.blackpool.sch.uk).
What have some of Year 5 been up to this week?
