On Friday 14th December, at 2:30pm, we would like to invite you to our celebration event, which will take place in the year 5 and 6 classrooms.
During the celebration event, the children will set up a table displaying all of their work about the festival. In addition to the information and artwork they produce in school, they will need to think about: 1) how to decorate their table and 2) the food which is eaten as part of the celebration. Therefore, for their home-learning, please can they cook/bake a traditional celebratory dish (which relates to their chosen festival) ready to bring and enjoy as part of the celebration event).
We’ll look forward to seeing you there! |

If you have not finished your musical instrument, take it home and finish it. Remember it must be mainly made from recycled materials, it must have at least two different pitches (notes) and it must look good.
If you have finished your instrument, you need to reflect on how you made your instrument, what was difficult and how you overcame it, think about whether your instrument looks like your original design, how did you adapt it? Why did you adapt it? You may want to draw what your instrument looks like now so that you can put it in your SOLE book with your original design to explain the changes you made. |
