Try to keep up with the reading – you can do all of the above whilst reading.

If you would like to go on Sumdog, there will be challenges available to practise times tables and the Year 5 and 6 spellings.

We have had a wonderful week this week.

On Monday, we finished our set designs for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. They all look amazing! Take a look at our gallery to see us in action and our finished pieces.

This week has been Children’s Mental Health Week. The theme this year is My Voice Matters. This theme was chosen to help us develop the skills we need to express our opinions, beliefs, values and feelings. We spoke about ways we can express ourselves including:

• Making choices
• Talking to a trusted adult
• Writing a letter or note to ourself or somebody else
• Voting on decisions
• Drawing a picture
• Creating a journal or diary
• Writing a song
• Having a check in system with somebody

We also celebrated our achievements and spoke about these proudly. We then came up with some positive affirmations all about My Voice Matters.

• I have important contributions to make
• When I speak, people listen
• I take time to listen and learn from others
• I feel empowered when I share my thoughts and feelings
• MY VOICE MATTERS

Have a happy Half Term.
