HOME LEARNING HEALTH WARNING!
Times are hard for everyone, the most important thing is to look after your own mental health and help your family to do the same.
We will post enough work so your children can find tasks they'll enjoy - but we aren't expecting families to be doing all of it! Do what's right for you and your circumstances.
In terms of learning, the priority is to keep reading and number tasks going whenever you can, these things will make it easier to return to learning once school re-opens.

Optional computing challenge
Sky Academy are running a competition asking people to make a short video (30 seconds-2 minutes long) about people's experiences of Lockdown. You could make a video about what you have been doing to keep busy, make a pretend news report,or make up a story set in lockdown using animation or green screen techniques. The winners will win a Greenscreen kit for their school and will be shown on Sky News,
We’re all living and learning differently right now so it’s important to #keepconnected. Sky would like young people to create a video to tell them about their lockdown story. It’s a great way to share how people are feeling.
Be sure to get your entries in to us as soon as you can, so that we can enter them by Monday 29th of June for a chance to win a free filming kit for our school.
To find out more have a look at this link and remember to get permission from your adults at home before entering.

Computing
Over the last few weeks we have been learning about networks, the internet and the 'World Wide Web.' This week we'll be thinking about how you know which websites you can trust.
Click here to see the BBC bitesize guide to find out more about using a search engine, filtering results, choosing the best or most reliable sites, and how to check that what they say is true. There is a useful video to watch too.
Make a poster about the things that you think were the most useful. Or, if you'd rather, you could make one telling people what thought processes they should go through when looking at a new website... This is my list. Have I missed anything?
Who wrote it: a company, a government, an advertising agency?
Could they be biased?
Why did they write it?
Are the 'facts' true?
Is it out of date?
Is it well designed?
