Today we enter the final week of Year 5. What an unusual year it has been!

I remain so proud of you and the efforts you have made throughout the year but especially during this last term.

We will continue to learn this week - keep our brains ticking - but we will also reflect on this year and look forward to the Summer and then Year 6.

As we enter the last week of this school year, I would like to learn from you.

You all have your own unique skills and interests - you are experts in things that others not.

Over this week I am going to ask you to share with us your interest in a number of different ways and I will share these with the rest of Year 5 and 6.

So...

STEP 1

Think about what you would like to be your 'topic' for this week -(a hobby, a place, an animal, a sport, a game, a collection, a time in history, nature, vehicles, a book, films etc)

STEP 2

Create a 'fact file' to introduce your topic.

What do us 'non-experts' need to know?

How are you going to introduce it to us?

You can choose how to present it to us:

• a PowerPoint presentation
• a Word document
• a PurpleMash slideshow
• on paper - as a poster or a booklet
• use a PurpleMash 2Publish template
• any other way you choose

Send your work to me (or save on PurpleMash) and I will share with everyone else.

Listening to someone read a story is a great way to relax and unwind.
We are lucky that, at the moment, we have some fantastic stories being read by famous people and excellent story-tellers that are wonderful to enjoy.

Choose a story from below to listen to. Choose somewhere to relax and enjoy it.
