Welcome to another week of learning Year 6! I hope you are all still well and looking forward to the week ahead. I know some of you will be going into school this week and I’m sure you are very excited about that. Just remember how important it is to follow the rules and keep everyone safe. For those of you like myself and Mr Mahal who are at home I hope you will continue to join us on Teams between 10 and 12 every day. We would also love to receive more examples of the brilliant work or hobbies you are doing at home – we do love to hear from you. Have a great week everyone!
