Week 12 - Home Learning – Sycamore Class Blog

Hi Sycamore Class!

I hope you are all keeping well and have had a good week. It is Mrs O’Connell here, as Miss Back has returned to school, I will be taking over your home learning blog and if you have any questions or problems, please contact me. I will also be asking you to submit work to me too. My email address is: jacqueline.oconnell1@school360.co.uk (don’t forget the number ‘1’ after my surname!).

Last week’s ‘Star of the Week’ certificate was awarded to Emily Charlton for her excellent attitude and application in all lessons.

This week for Home Learning, there is again a mixture of work to complete as some of you Year 5s will be returning to school on Wednesday, you will need to check carefully what you need to complete if this is you. If you are returning to school, you have English and Maths tasks to complete but nothing to submit. For those of you who are not returning to school, you have English, Maths and Science work to complete. I will be asking you to submit your Science findings. Remember, if you need help with ANY of your Home Learning tasks or have ANY queries, just send me an email using your school360 email account. I do enjoy hearing from you and I am always here to help!

As always, I have explained below each of your tasks for this week and then the resources you need are either in your work packs or attached at the bottom of the page.

Mrs O’Connell
