Welcome to the Year 5 & 6 Home Learning for the week beginning 18^th January.

We hope you enjoyed exploring Death Valley last week.  What was your highlight: the dancing lizard?  the superbloom?  the singing sand dunes?

We are enjoying our daily Zoom check-ins and looking forward to continuing the trial of guided reading lessons.  Keep sending us your work – we’re loving seeing your creativity and feel confident you will make progress this term especially if you take note of any feedback given.

This week, we venture into the forests of California where we will meet the giant sequoias and redwoods.  These incredible trees have been there for many, many years and may seem like a throwback to prehistoric times – you can imagine the dinosaurs sheltering under their branches.  However, there is more than trees to enjoy and marvel at in Sequoia National Park so pack your camera and travel journal because we will see many wonders on this section of our epic trip.  But keep your eyes peeled – you may meet a bear or two when you go into the woods today…

Below is our timetable for this week.
