Year 5 - Summer Learning
Here is where you will find all the activities you can complete during the summer holidays.
Every two weeks, there is a themed project that you can complete with your adults at home - be sure to keep your learning safe and bring it with you in September to show your new teacher!
During the holidays, there will be no class blog pages but you can still use Purple Mash for reading and other activities.
If at any time you feel worried, click here and it will take you to the 'Keeping Safe' page on the Harry Gosling website.
Stay safe, keep well and have a wonderful summer break! See you in September!
