This week we are having a look back at our wellbeing week and how we express ourselves online. Below you will find a guide on Expressing yourself safely online and a guide to using Youtube.
We have also included the #wakeupwednesday guide from NationOnlineSafety.com on RecRoom. This is a new online platform with an age rating of 9+. We haven't yet seen any of our children use this platform but it is always good to be informed on new developments.
Please continue to access all information on the National Online Safety website. You will get access to all videos and guides by clicking the link below and joining free to our school online safety hub.

Year 5 Home Practice Friday 26th March 2021
A big well done to all those who completed their Home Practice last week. As you know, every Friday It will be posted on our class blog (school website). It will always be reading (reading journal), spelling and some Sumdog challenges. Please work hard to complete your home practice, it really makes a difference and helps to reinforce what has been learnt at school.
A fantastic week of learning Year 5, you have worked very hard. In Maths, we have continued our work on decimals. The children have been enjoying our new novel, Room 13 by Robert Swindells. It’s not too scary, yet! We have also looked at story structure in preparation for writing spooky, short stories. In Geography, We have learnt about the different geographical features of North America. It was great to hear that some of the children had visited some of these fascinating places, so we had a great discussion in class. The Year 5/6 Athletics Competition went really well and everyone participated to the best of their ability.
Reading
Please read for at least twenty/thirty minutes every evening. Talk about what you have read with an adult. Discuss the story, characters and any new vocabulary you come across. If it is a non-fiction book, look at the contents page, glossary or index and see how it helps you find more information.
Y5 book changing day is Friday. Although, some children may change books at different times, so always bring your book bag into school every day. Remember to sign when you have finished a book, it makes it much easier to issue new books.
I have introduced a ‘Reading Journal’ to the children. They are familiar with this from previous year groups. At the front of the journal, there are activities for the children to do using their current book or one they have just finished. They may choose an activity, complete it in their journal (best presentation and handwriting!) and colour/highlight the square to show they have done it. The children must complete one activity per week.
The first few ‘Reading Journal’ activities have been very good and show me that the children have a good understanding of the text they have read. They are also beautifully presented. Well done, keep up the great work!
Maths
This week’s challenge on Sumdog is based on the equivalence of tenths and hundredths and times tables practice. We will have a mixed times tables test every Monday/Tuesday.
Spelling
The Sumdog spelling challenge is focused on tricky words (different from the spelling test words below).
Please learn these spellings for next Thursday (1.4.21): If you don’t know what a word means, look it up in a dictionary or ask an adult.
We are investigating the Year 5/6 Spelling List.
sincere stomach symbol thorough vegetable
sincerely sufficient system twelfth vehicle
soldier suggest temperature variety yacht
Spelling, Punctuation And Grammar (SPAG)
This week’s challenge on Sumdog (grammar section) is based on the perfect tense.
For our DT project, we will be making Cams mechanisms and toys next week (Easter theme). Please could you bring either a cereal or shoe box into school.
Have a lovely weekend, Miss Gravili.

Please work hard to complete your home practice, it really makes a difference and helps to reinforce what has been learnt at school.
A good end to our second week back together Year 5. Let’s keep working hard and following the Golden Rules, all the time! In Maths, we have learnt about negative numbers, Roman numerals and decimals. The children have finished Deathwood Letters and we are moving on to our new novel, Room 13 by Robert Swindells. We are also looking at short stories in English and the children have already written some of their own spooky stories, which were very scary! In Science, we made rockets out of paper and launched them with straws. We measured how far they flew and thought about the forces at work. Our new topic in Geography is – North America. We have learnt about the countries and the different climates of this interesting continent. We had a great discussion in RE about the ‘cost of giving’ and young carers in society. It was great to see you in red today, wearing red noses and telling fabulous jokes! Well done Year 5.
Reading
Please read for at least twenty/thirty minutes every evening. Talk about what you have read with an adult. Discuss the story, characters and any new vocabulary you come across. If it is a non-fiction book, look at the contents page, glossary or index and see how it helps you find more information.

Read Alice Spode (documents below). This is another Cautionary Tale. Do you think it is by Hilaire Belloc? Why not? (He died in 1953, long before texting was possible!).
Look at how the poem fits the structure of other Cautionary Tales:
1. A brief description of the foible and hint of consequences;
2. A particular time where the foible causes terrible events to unfold;
3. The reaction of others/the moral stated.
Make annotations on the poem to show these three sections.
Identify other features that make this poem fit the style of Hilaire Belloc. Notice in particular the rhyming couplets and the use of phrases from other Cautionary Tales e.g. ‘chief defect’ and ‘I shall now relate’
Display and read Cautionary Characters (documents below). Can you think about other modern-day characters that could be added to this list?
Use the Character Challenge and invent a modern-day character who could be included in Cautionary Tales.
Write a poem about your character in the same style as the other poems we have read.

Enjoy re-reading Matilda by Hilaire Belloc (documents below).
What poetic features do we look for in a poem? Answer - including key terms such as rhyme, rhythm, couplets, alliteration, unusual vocabulary, metaphor & simile, personification, repetition, hyperbole, stanza.
There is a list of poetic language for you to look at (documents below). We have covered most of these in class, but if there is anything you are unsure of, ask an adult or look it up in a dictionary.
Using the poem – Matilda, search and annotate the text for any of these poetic features (use your highlighters, coloured pencils, little arrows and notes like we do in class – there is an example in the documents below - poem annotation, but it is a different poem!). You can trim this annotation work down and stick it into your exercise book or copy it straight into your book.
Look through - Matilda Questions (documents below), answer these in your exercise book.
Please also read the poems – Henry King and Algernon by Hilaire Belloc.

Here’s the breakfast song to start us off:

Today we are going to say whether we like or don’t like food items. Then we’re going to recap how to use articles. In English, articles are ‘a’ or ‘the’ for singular nouns. ‘A’ becomes ‘some’ for plural but ‘the’ is used for singular or plural in English.
A sausage – some sausages.
The jelly - the jellies.
In French, as you know, nouns can be masculine or feminine so there are two words for a and the:
|
Article |
Masculine singular |
Feminine singular |
Plural (masculine and feminine are the same) |
|
A
|
Un (un) |
Une (oon) |
Des (day) = some |
|
The
|
Le (luh) |
La (la) |
Les (lay) |
Download lesson 6 with audio:
http://www.rachelhawkes.com/Resources/Y5_French/Yr5AutumnFr.php
Work through, saying whether you like or don’t like each item. When you get to slide 8, notice whether the food items are masculine (blue background) or feminine (red background). You’ll need this information later. After slide 9, write the date in French and the learning objective in your book:
Can I give my opinion of foods and use the correct form of the definite article (le, la or les)?
Read slide 10 then write out the 3 sentences using the correct form of the definite article ‘the’ : le, la or les. Check you answers and correct them if necessary.
Challenge: Can you write your own sentences saying what you like and don’t like, using these as a model?
Très bon travail! Marci beaucoup. A la semaine prochaine.

Good morning Year 5, I hope you are all doing lots of reading this week and enjoying your books. I love reading so much that I often have a pile of books waiting to be read, just as soon as I finish my current one! A huge well done to Georgina, who also had her story read out by the Mayor of South Ribble! We have some great author's in Year 5! Check out the World Book Day website, there are loads of fun activities and ideas, https://www.worldbookday.com/
Reading
Please read for at least twenty/thirty minutes every day. Talk about what you have read with an adult. Discuss the story, characters and any new vocabulary you come across. If it is a non-fiction book then look at the contents page, glossary or index and see how it helps you find information.
We can issue books and change books as needed.

We have finished our work on non-fiction and will now do some poetry – Cautionary Verse by Hilaire Belloc.
Read Matilda - Missing Words (documents below). This is the start of the poem and there are words missing. Can you suggest what the missing words might be? Write the start of the poem in your book and fill in the missing words with ones you think will fit. You can check when you read the whole poem next.
Read Matilda – the whole poem (documents below). What sort of poem do you think this is? Is it serious or comic? Why do you think that? What might go on to happen? Answer these questions in your book.
Which vocabulary should you check? (souse, frenzied, score) Find out the meanings of words you are unfamiliar with and get a better understanding of the poem. List new words in your book with a definition (a dictionary will help you here).
Click on the link below, follow the words as you listen to a spoken performance of the poem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSW56PnC-Bg
Think about what makes this an effective performance, e.g. the pace, the careful pronunciation of ‘tiptoe to the telephone’, the increased pace as the fire-brigade arrive, the change in tone for ‘Maltilda’s House is Burning Down’, the use of punctuation and line-breaks.
Practise saying the phrase ‘tiptoe to the telephone’ and try to find other phrases to practise in particular.
Look at the poem - Matilda again and practise reading it aloud just like the example you heard.
Remember the ways to enhance performance, e.g. use of volume, tone, actions and sound effects.
You could annotate the text to help you remember, e.g. underline emphasised words.
Record yourself reading the poem Matilda (performance poetry) and upload it to Seesaw for me to see or perform it for someone at home.
Please read the other poem - Jim by Hilaire Belloc and the information that tells you a bit more about who Hilaire Belloc is (documents below).

Read and remind yourself of the the features of instructions and explanations (documents below).
Choose an audience for your guide, considering their needs (children, teens, parents, technophobes, older people etc.). This will help with your planning later.
Today you will be PLANNING a guide to a futuristic form of transport, which will include both instructions for use and explanations as to how they work.
You will find two planning sheets (planning grid/planning notes 2 - documents below). Either, trim them down and stick into your exercise book or copy them straight into the book.

Year 5 Home Learning Wednesday 24th February 2021
Good morning Year 5, I hope you are well and doing lots of reading. You could recommend one of your favourite books to a friend. Perhaps, phone them and have a nice chat to see how they are. You might also like to write a list of books you would recommend to someone in Year 5 and we can talk about them when we are all back in school. Not long now! It is Fairtrade Fortnight, so I have included a sheet with activities that will help you learn a little bit more about Fairtrade (documents below). You might also like to visit the website. There are lots of things to do and learn and even a competition if you are interested, https://www.fairtrade.org.uk/choose-the-world-you-want/
Reading
Please read for at least twenty/thirty minutes every day. Talk about what you have read with an adult. Discuss the story, characters and any new vocabulary you come across. If it is a non-fiction book then look at the contents page, glossary or index and see how it helps you find information.
We can issue books and change books as needed.
Reading Challenge: Use the book you are reading at the moment or one you have just read. Draw a cartoon strip of the main events of the story. Please do this in your Home Learning exercise book with today’s date.
Spelling
This week we are investigating the suffix - ible. Please learn these spellings for Monday’s test (01.03.21). If you don’t know what a word means, ask an adult or look it up in a dictionary. To help you learn them, write them down each day in your exercise book with the date. You could focus on your handwriting at the same time.

Read through Explanation Features (documents below). This will help you with your writing today so you know what to include when writing an explanation.
New technology often requires instructions for use and explanations of how it works.
Have a look at the Baby Cage pictures (documents below) What do you think when you see these pictures? Find out what a patent is.
Today you will be writing and performing explanations of genuine patented products (in the style of Dragons’ Den pitches).
Have a look at the patent designs (documents below), choose one and write a three-minute presentation (pitch), explaining how the inventions work.
MEDIUM/HARD: Include adverbs for opinion (cleverly, easily, clearly, amazingly, etc.) in addition to cause and contrast. Remember to use brackets if necessary. Include all the key features of an explanation text.
I have included a worksheet (Dragons' Den Worksheet below) to help you with this. Stick it into your exercise book or you can write straight into your book.
On Seesaw, there is an example of a piece of explanation writing that could be used as a pitch. This is what I would like you to do. Then you can read it out and pitch your product, good luck!

Exciting and Additional Science Work
This week something very exciting has happened in the world of Space science.
"Touchdown confirmed" - there is a new robot on Mars!
This video is an animation of how scientists planned the landing, not footage of the real thing, but it gives a really good idea of the successful landing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzmd7RouGrM&safe=active
Amazing, isn’t it?!
Perseverance’s mission is to look for signs of life on Mars. Scientists have to model their investigations on Earth because obviously they can’t nip to Mars. They form hypotheses (good guesses) based on what they can learn here.
So, they have researched life forms on Earth that live in extreme habitats. They are called extremophiles. There are extremophiles living in Antarctica, in volcanic ash and lava and deep under the sea where there is total darkness. There is also life in Yellowstone park hot springs and in a river called Rio Tinto in Spain which is very acidic.
If life can exist in these extreme environments on Earth, maybe it can also exist on Mars?
Write the date and title:
Wednesday 24th February 2021
Can I research the possibility that there is life on Mars?
Your first job is to research Extremophiles on Earth and write a paragraph explaining what you have found out.
Now use the ESA kids website to research what scientists think about the Possibility of life on Mars.
Use this link to find out about Perseverance and write a paragraph about its mission. Why do you think it is called Perseverance?
https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/mars-2020/en/
Finally, what do you think? Will Perseverance find evidence of life on Mars?
You can use the underlined words/phrases as sub headings.
Well done. Keep an eye on the news for the latest developments 211 million km away!

Today’s lesson starts with a recap of time and moves on to describing what you have for breakfast.
Play the audio clips on slide 2 and see if you can write down the missing word. You can check your spellings on the next slide.
Qu’est-ce que tu manges? What do you eat?
Je mange … I eat Je bois…..I drink. Du, de la and des all mean some. Du is used for masculine nouns, de la for feminine nouns and des for plural nouns.
Work your way through, repeating all the words. Listen to the song on slide 21 and see if you can understand. Then, write the date in French in your book and the learning objective:
Can I read and understand a French text?
Read the text on slide 22 and answer the questions in English. Check your answers afterwards.

Good morning Year 5, hopefully you have settled back into your Home Learning routines. Have a look at this picture, see if there is anything you could do for someone else today. I am going to pray for my family. Unfortunately, I cannot hug a friend at the moment, but I will save that for a time when I can!

Read the opening of ‘A Guide to Using Twitter’ (documents below).
Spot any brackets in the text.
The brackets are used to mark off extra information in a text in a noticeable way (this extra information is called parenthesis).
Look at the PowerPoint – Parenthesis, slides 2 to 6 (documents below). Explore parenthesis and challenge yourselves to decide where brackets should go.
Other punctuation could be used to mark off the extra information: commas or dashes.
Commas are a subtler form of parenthesising and dashes are used in informal writing.
Ask someone at home to play this game with you (it should only take ten minutes). Each player needs a separate game sheet to pass around (documents below – Bracket Game Sheet or copy it onto a sheet of paper).
As in the parlour game Consequences, you take turns to add to the story, with extra information in brackets (there is an example in the documents below – Bracket Game Examples).
At the end of each turn, players fold over the sheet to hide what they have written.
Unfold the sheet when it has been completed and read it out. It will be funny!
Now, write out one of the scenarios in your exercise books, correctly punctuated.

Good morning Year 5 and welcome back to another half term of learning before Easter. I hope you all had a great week off and enjoyed time with your families and doing the things you like to do best of all. Hopefully, it will not be much longer until we are back in class together. I am really looking forward to seeing you all and catching up on any news you have to share with me. A huge well done to Jack Beetham, who had his faraway story read out by the Mayor of South Ribble. It was an excellent story. As it is now Lent, I would like you to think about your Lenten Promises. To help you I have included a little worksheet (documents below).

Today we will be learning about explanations and how to write an explanation text.
Instructions tell you how to do something. They instruct you!
Explanations tell you how something works. They explain how or why something happens (not to instruct, the purpose is different).
Look again but more closely at adverbs for cause and contrast on the Adverbs PowerPoint- slides 2 to 4 from yesterday (documents below).
- Read ‘How Escalators Work’ (documents below). What type of text is it? – Explanation.
While reading this, notice adverbs for cohesion; there are more for cause and contrast than with the instructions.
- Try to find the adverbs for cause and contrast in the text, underline them with a different coloured pencil or highlight them (see documents below for answers).
Adverbs - Cause: therefore, thus, consequently, as a result.
Adverbs – Contrast: however, meanwhile, nevertheless, instead, yet.
Next, read ‘How Alexa works’ (documents below). Your task for today is explained on this worksheet (blue bullet points).

Today we are going to finish writing our sentences about the planets, if you didn’t finish last week. (We ran out of time in school!) Then we're going to copy them out onto a triorama. You’ll soon see what one of those is.
First, let’s listen again to the planets song because you might be able to pinch an idea for a sentence from the song. Slow the playback speed down to 0.75 to help you hear the words more easily.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-G7trS2qCk&safe=active
You can always come back to this if you want when you are writing.
Now go back to last week’s French home learning PowerPoint (Blog Weds 3rd February) and find the slide with the flowchart - Je décris les planètes.
Use this to finish if you haven’t yet written one sentence for each planet. Now look at the next slide and read those sentences. Can you add any extra detail to your writing using these ideas? Please don’t just copy but, for example, you could find out how many moons one of the planets has and add it to your writing using the model: Elle a …... lunes. Put the number as a word in the gap. (Elle here means it but planète is feminine so we use elle.)
Please now check your writing using the flowchart. Have you used the correct word order by following the arrows? Remember, colours and most adjectives go after nouns. Now watch this video for how to make a triorama.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu80853TNw8&safe=active
You are going to redraft your writing now onto a triorama. Follow the lady’s instructions about where to put your picture (of the planets and colour the sky black) and your wonderful French writing. Then glue the flap underneath as she shows you and sit back and admire your work! If you’d like to drop your finished work off at school when you come to change your reading books, I’ll add it to the display after it has stayed in quarantine for 3 days. I’d love to see them!

Year 5 Home Learning Tuesday 9th February 2021
Good morning Year 5, you are all doing so well with your Home Learning. A big thank you to everyone who is helping you. Hopefully, you are in a good routine, staying positive and doing the best you can. How is the dance routine coming along? We have been learning it in school and enjoying the music and exercise. We have also played the card games from our English lesson. I think we might get the packs of cards out at wet play times in future. It is really good fun!
Reading
Please read for at least twenty/thirty minutes every day. Talk about what you have read with an adult. Discuss the story, characters and any new vocabulary you come across. If it is a non-fiction book then look at the contents page, glossary or index and see how it helps you find information.
We can issue books and change books as needed.
Reading Challenge: Use the book you are reading at the moment, or one you have just read. Copy any sentence from your book and answer these questions: What tense is it written in? (past/present/future) How do you know? Is it written in 1st or 3rd person or is no one referred to at all? Does it contain any speech? What is the sentence about? Please do this in your Home Learning exercise book with today’s date.
Spelling
This week we are investigating words instead of said. Please learn these spellings for Monday’s test (22.02.21) which will be after half term, but if you would rather do it before then, that’s fine. If you don’t know what a word means, ask an adult or look it up in a dictionary. To help you learn them, write them down each day in your exercise book with the date. You could focus on your handwriting at the same time.

English
Read the instructions on Slide 1 of the PowerPoint – Instructions/Adverbs (documents below).
How do writers make the order of instructions clear, and make links between the steps? Answers - order of steps, numbers, bullets, arrows and time adverbs.
Recap adverbs for time using Slides 2 to 6 of the PowerPoint and think about other adverbs for cohesion.
Which adverbs may be most useful when reading and writing instructions? Answers - time/listing.
Read ‘Instructions for Boarding a Bus’ (documents below). New technology often brings about new rules or instructions to use.
Think about ways you could improve these instructions, adding adverbs, imperative verbs, numbers or bullet points.
Choose one of these worksheets (documents below):
HARD: ‘How to Use the Telephone’.
MEDIUM: ‘How to use an Escalator’.
EASY: ‘How to use an Escalator Safely’.
Using your worksheet, write clear, cohesive instructions.
Focus: Use the Instruction Features sheet from yesterday to help you (documents below).

For today’s lesson, you will need a pack of cards and someone to play with. If you have not got a pack of cards, you will still be able to do the task!
Have you played card games before? Discuss any games you know and how you learnt the rules.
Cards are a very old game technology (originating in 9th C. China) & are popular worldwide; many games have been passed on verbally or through written instructions.
You will learn a new card game by reading some written instructions.
Read ‘How to Play Sevens’ (documents below). How can we recognise that these are instructions?
Read Instruction Features (documents below). This will help you to evaluate - see how useful the instructions are.
Have a look at the ‘Card Games’ sheets (documents below). Try and play one or two games.
Evaluate how easy the instructions are/are not to follow and which features help make them clearer.
Make notes on the ‘Card Games’ sheets.
Write the key features you have spotted or add improvements to the parts of the instructions that are not clear. There is an example of this on Seesaw.
You can trim the ‘Card Game’ sheet down and stick it in your exercise books or write your notes straight into your book.
EASY: Game 1 is the most accessible (easy to follow instructions).
MEDIUM/HARD: Game 3 needs most improvement.

Good morning Year 5, well done for writing such excellent stories. I have enjoyed reading them all. There are definitely some great young authors in Year 5. One day, you might be as famous as Roald Dahl or Katherine Rundell! I have included a PowerPoint presentation for you today (documents below) to explain a little bit more about ‘Express Yourself’ for Children’s Mental Health Week because tomorrow, in school and at home we are going to ‘Dress to Express’. It’s a chance for you to dress up in the clothes that show who you are. It might be clothes that show your interests (football/dancing/horse-riding/martial arts) or colours that show your personality (yellow/red/blue/green/black/pink). The most important thing is to enjoy yourself and feel good.

Year 5 Home Learning Wednesday 3rd February 2021
Good morning Year 5, I hope you are all well. On the way to school yesterday morning, I noticed that it’s getting lighter earlier in the mornings and the sun is setting later at night. It’s not so dark and wintery, a little sign that Spring is on its way! Take a look around and see what you can find to be grateful or hopeful for. You could write a little list or draw some pictures. I have just bought a book called, ‘The Book of Hopes’. It’s really very good and something you can pick up and read when you have a spare minute or two. If you follow the link you can read the book for free on the Literacy Trust website. My favourite is…A Song of Gladness by Michael Morpurgo
https://literacytrust.org.uk/family-zone/9-12/book-hopes/
Reading
Please read for at least twenty/thirty minutes every day. Talk about what you have read with an adult. Discuss the story, characters and any new vocabulary you come across. If it is a non-fiction book then look at the contents page, glossary or index and see how it helps you find information.
We can issue books and change books as needed.

Science
Last week’s lesson was about making mixtures of soluble and insoluble solids and separating them again. These are called reversible changes – you can get back the solids you mixed. We used 3 methods to separate the mixtures:
Sieving to separate different sized particles eg rice and flour;
Filtering to separate insoluble particles from a liquid eg sand from water;
Evaporation to separate a soluble solid after it had dissolved in water eg salt in water.
Confession time – in school, we didn’t manage very well! We found out what didn’t work, but we weren’t so great at trying a new method that would work. It’s absolutely fine – mistakes help us learn. So, in school, we are going to try again with some new mixtures. If you’d like to have another go at home to reinforce your learning, I think it will help you too.
Click this link and remind yourself how to do each of the 3 processes.
Year 5a Lesson 4 separating mixtures.pptx - Microsoft PowerPoint Online (live.com)
Here are some new mixtures to make and separate. Use about a teaspoonful of each in a little water and stir it. Think about which of the 3 methods above will help you to separate the mixtures.
If it doesn’t work, try a different one.
- Flour and lentils/rice/similar
- Tea leaves in water
- Sugar in water
- Soil in water – how clear can you get the water?
- Gravel or similar, flour and salt – the ultimate challenge!
Use the table on slide 7 to record your observations. Remember to write in as much detail as possible to show what great scientists you are! Look at slide 10 for what a good one looks like.
Evaporation obviously takes time so you will need to wait for this to happen. How could you speed it up? (Clue: how do you dry your hair when it’s wet? What about drying your clothes? Or your hands when you are out or at school? These machines that are used to speed up evaporation all use warm wind. How could you speed up the evaporation of your water?)
Good luck! I hope you now feel more confident about separating mixtures. I’d love to see some photos on Seesaw of Y5 chemists at work!
Please post this on Seesaw for me to see.
French
First, let’s recap the phonics sounds from last week by watching the video again. This week, you are going to try and write down the number and colour words that contain the sounds.
Before you start, write the date and learning objective in your book:
mercredi quatre février
Can I use phonics to help me spell French words?
Then write each of the phonic sounds, leaving space underneath each to write down the words that have the sound in. Spread them out on your page. The sounds are:
Ou eu an oi in/un i on
Now listen to Emilie again, pausing the video when she asks you to think of the numbers and colours that have that sound in.
Have a go at writing the words under the right sound, then start the video again to check your spelling. Please correct it if you make a mistake. Mistakes are fine! They help us to learn.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkR7BTicoxc&safe=active
Now we are going to try to write some sentences of our own about the planets using the PowerPoint to help us. All the instructions are on the slides.
Next week, we will redraft our sentences onto a special piece of paper and you will be really proud of your work!
There’s a treat activity on the last slide! You must ask an adult for help though!
Très bien! A bientôt!
