Hello Woodpeckers,

I hope you had a lovely weekend.

 

Please find the learning, tutorials, videos and resources below and on the tabs on the left. Remember to use ALL the resources to help you. 

Today you are starting two brand new topics The Arctic and Antarctica and also coding in your afternoon computer experience. I hope you enjoy them. 

Please send your work daily, so I can see how well you are doing and provide feedback. I will put some brilliant pieces of work on our class celebration page. 

 

WE NEED YOUR HELP WOODPECKERS-we are creating a KS2 video and need you to create a colour poster for it with a positive message that the rest of school can see. For more information please see the attachment below called 'Key Stage 2 teachers need your help.'
