Welcome back, I hope you all enjoyed a lovely break over the holidays, lots of you seem to have gone on wonderful holidays, the Year 5 teachers are rather jealous!
This half term is going to be a busy one for us as we are beginning our Antarctica project. We will be learning about it in Literacy, Geography, Science and ICT lessons for the next six weeks so it is really important children don't miss school unnecessarily as they will really suffer and have big gaps in their knowledge.
We have already been impressed about the facts that the children already know about Antarctica so if you could encourage them to continue to find out fascinating facts, it makes our lessons even better. Any trips to the local library would also be appreciated.
Here are some good websites, you may like to look at if you have a computer at home, we will also be using them in school.
You may also like to check the google or bbc websites...
Can you find out any information about the animals that live in Antarctica? Housepoints will be given out on Thursday's lesson for those that teach the teachers!!! It will be particularly helpful for writing our non-chronological reports on different Antarctic animals.
Happy New Year!
