Room 5 work for week 20th-24th April

Hello Girls,

I hope you are all well and keeping safe at home. I hope you took a break over the Easter Holidays and that the Easter Bunny came to everyone. At least the weather has been lovely.

Here is some more work for the week ahead in case you are missing school too much. Like I said the last time, don’t worry if you have difficulty accessing the internet to read the e- books. Just do what you can.  Remember, this is a most unusual time for all of us. Use this time to be creative. You can direct your own journey of self discovery and learning on any topic. You all know how to do a project. I’m looking forward to seeing your projects on the Netherlands. Anne Frank and Vincent Van Gogh are two interesting subjects for a biography…

Here is the work for this week.

Do one maths challenge test a day and continue to work on your tables sheet- one column a week.

SPHE:  Write out this lovely recipe for Banana Bread. Of course it’s very healthy. I know it’s difficult to get flour in the shops at the moment. Apparently, everyone is baking at home!!
