Home Learning - Week Beginning 1st June

This week's topic-web is designed to get you all thinking about Maps & Exploration. This theme is about considering the idea of exploration and thinking about how and why we map the world around us. There are lots of activities linked to map-making, or map-reading and a few linked to exploration and great explorers. 

Whatever year group you are in, you can work together on aspects of the topic theme. As with previous weeks, just select activities from the topic web that you would like to do - either on your own, with your brother/sister, or together as a family.

As always, we love seeing what you have been up to, so remember to e-mail your teacher with pictures. Thanks to all the children and parents who have already sent things through to us - we love seeing and hearing all about your lock-down experiences and Home Learning!

In addition to the topic-web work, your teachers will have set you Maths and English work that is specific to your Year group / Class.

See the notes below the topic web.

Please remember to send us your writing – we love seeing what you’ve been doing!
