Schools out for the holidays! I will not be uploading any new school work over the next two weeks. This is time for family, relaxing, fun and of course...chocolate 😋. I am still available to read and respond to your emails as I genuinely would love to hear how you are doing!
I miss you all, getting back to work to see you will be a welcome day. Until then stay safe apart. Remember we are all doing our part by staying home, you are saving lives.

I know that everyone’s home situation is different and it can be difficult to access online resources or even find a quiet space to work! but please if you can, try your very best to do a little each day.

As you recently finished lovely projects on Ancient Rome. You could continue to research Italy for Geography. It has been in the news of late for sad reasons but it is a beautiful country that you will someday enjoy exploring. Get creative with your project and we can present them when we are back. I’ve included some information below to get you started. Start by recording interesting facts into your copy.

Stay Active!
It is important to set aside time EVERY day to be active and move your body. It’ll keep you fit and physically well but it is so good for your mind and mood too. I’m trying my best to keep up with my own children following Joe Wicks Monday-Friday at 9am on YouTube. I still hate burpees but I’m trying and we all feel great after!
