Good Morning Everyone!

This week, as you know, we are working towards hosting an online art gallery on Friday.  You can tweet or e-mail pictures of your work (by Thursday please) and we will add them to the gallery for review.

Today, use the invitation from your teachers to write your own invitation for your family or friends.  You could print the template or you could write your own invitation on a piece of paper or card, or in your jotter.  Share pictures of your work via Twitter or by e-mail, or comment on the school blog.

You can also choose any of the options on the art grids to complete.  I’d be interested to know what you’ve found interesting and if you’ve learned anything new. So far, at home, we’ve looked at shape, colour and pattern.

Maths :L.I. To identify 2D shapes

Remind yourself of the names of these 2D shapes (2D means flat). Can you identify their properties (how many sides, how many corners)? Then go on a shape hunt around your house. How many shapes can you find?

Today is the 75th anniversary of victory in Europe during WW2.   VE day was commemorated in various ways, including street parties and the production of special cups.

Task 1- To decorate some bunting, it could be for VE Day, celebrating NHS and key workers whatever you would like. You could hang it up outside your house.

Task 2-  , design a VE day cup

While the Coronavirus outbreak has drastically altered plans for the day there are still ways you can safely mark the event from your home.  There will be a two-minute silence at 11am. All staff and families are invited to observe this.  Visit the VE Day website for some suggestions:

If anyone is celebrating in any way, we’d love to know about it! Remember to share your pictures.

Have a lovely weekend
