Welcome to our last 6 weeks of home learning
We will be working together as a mixed Year 5 and Year 6 team and each of you will be able to make choices and decisions about which bits of learning are best for you and what you can do to help your learning move forward. I am always here to help so please do email me or ask me to give you a ring if I can help in any way: rsmyton@thythornfield.leics.sch.uk
