Good morning P7, not long and we’ll be back together in class next week. It’s been great to be able to email you all to check in and fab that a number of you were able to take part in the Sumdog competition. I thought the image above was quite appropriate for how we’ll be leaving the house on Monday morning. 🤣

As promised, I’ve attached the answers to the Time, Area & Volume and also the Homophones worksheets and that’ll let you self-assess.

Looking forward to seeing you all on Monday, Mrs Gribben 🙂
