ART:
Keep up the creativity! You could draw or paint something, create a collage, make something from clay or recycles materials, try some sewing, knitting or weaving, bake salt dough decorations, try some origami...let your imagination run wild! :)
With all the great weather why not try some outdoor art in the sunshine: Rock painting, making pictures or mandalas with stones/leaves/twigs, make a birdhouse or bird feeder, create art with leaf rubbings, make a wind chime, build a bug hotel or plant a butterfly garden...🦋🐦🥀

This week I have included an end of year assessment for each class. There is no pressure to complete the assessments in a certain time frame (you can do it over a few days if you want to!) and we will be doing lots of revision in September on topics that are still tricky, so don't worry. Just take your time try your best with each section! :)
You can use games to practice tricky topics before attempting the assignment if you wish. There are also some fun maths trails below which might also be fun for revision! :) Links also below :)
