Good Morning Year 5. I hope everyone is well and ready for our second day of online learning. Thanks to everyone who managed to upload their work yesterday. It was so lovely to see. If you are able to and haven't done so already, I would love to see any work that you have completed. If you can't upload the work, don't worry. Please let me know if you have completed it or if you would like any extra help with anything. Hopefully, you will all have had a Teams invite for today so I will see you all in a little while. Take care. Miss Mc xx

RE
Please read through Miss Halliwell's RE PowerPoint which gives instructions for today's RE lesson. You will need the file RE Images to support.
Computing (Mrs Harris)
If we were in school today, we were going to go onto Scratch to make our Christmas animation. If you can access Scratch, see below for a reminder of your task. Alternatively, if you can’t access Scratch, I’ve put a selection of options for you to try.
Option 1 – Scratch
Your Scratch animation should have a Christmas theme for a background, and at least 1 moving character.
Option 2 – PowerPoint
Can you create a Christmas scene on PowerPoint? Can you copy and paste Christmas themed images? Can you include a Christmas message – for example: Merry Christmas!
Option 3 – PowerPoint
Can you create a Christmas quiz? Or perhaps a joke?
Option 4 – Publisher
Can you use Microsoft Publisher to create a Christmas card?
I’d love to see your creations! Please email them to the school or if you can, put them on Seesaw.
