Year 5 – Thursday 23rd April
Good Morning Year 5!
We hope you had a fantastic day yesterday and are ready for another day of learning. Have you been keeping active? Us teachers are keeping active with walks, home workouts, bike rides and we hope you are too.
Did anyone look at the sky last night? Did you see anything? Mira continued to stargaze and spotted some more amazing things, such as a constellation called the ‘Big Dipper’. There are some pictures below, look carefully and see what you can spot. Have another look at the sly tonight to see what you can see.
Thank you again for sending in all the photos of your amazing work. It’s lovely to see everyone’s hard work. We were especially proud of all your blackout poetry. You were all amazingly creative and the results were lovely. Well done Year 5! Please keep sending them in to year5@stmarksce.org.uk – we love looking at them.
Keep up the good work!
Year 5 Team
