Hello Class 5, I hope you've all had a great weekend. This week the suggested tasks will be in the same format as last week, with a daily English, maths and a wider curriculum task, as well as a list of spellings to practise throughout the week. In terms of the maths tasks, we've decided as a school that all of the year groups will spend the next few weeks focusing on practising key skills. This is to prepare you for moving up to the next year group. I know that some of you will find the worksheets fairly straight forward and they will not take you very long, therefore I have included some extra, more challenging activities for you to have a go at - these are indicated on the daily task sheets.  For the wider curriculum tasks this week, we're going to be focusing on geography and learning all about mountains. 🗻🌄🚵 Here are the suggested tasks: Monday 29th June Here are the spellings: Spellings - 29th June Have a lovely day, Mrs Piper
