Hi Year 6, Miss Moss here. I can’t believe we’re in our fifth week of home learning. You’re all doing amazingly well! This week, we’re going to be covering lots of learning – percentages, suspense writing and a new RE topic.
Miss Worthington and I plus all of your friends in school are missing you SO much. It’s lovely to see you on Teams but we can’t wait for you to be back in school. Lots of you are making super contributions to our Teams meetings. If you haven’t contributed yet, see if you can have a go this week.
Love from Miss Moss, Miss Worthington and Mrs Dykes
