Also, your new teachers have recorded you a special welcome message; you will be able to find out some interesting facts so that you get to know them a little better before meeting them in September. Don't forget to check out their video and they may have set you a challenge or two!
We are now in the final stretch of Home Learning - there's only five more days to go and we know that you can do this! Look what you have all achieved so far! You have all made us teachers so very proud; you've all taken on the 'Home-learning challenge' and adapted superbly!
As always, we are really missing seeing your faces everyday so do keep in touch by Tweeting us or emailing us.

Once there as a boy, and one day, he found an aeroplane in his cupboard.
He didn’t remember leaving it in there, but he thought he’d take it out for a go right away. At first, all went well and the plane flew higher and higher and higher until suddenly, with a splutter, it ran out of petrol. The boy was stuck on the moon and he was not alone.
Reading For Pleasure
Some ideas of websites which can be used to find new and interesting things to read:

Are holidays important?
Since March 17th, people in the UK were only allowed to travel to other countries if the journey was essential. Anyone who returned to the UK was also required to self-isolate at home for 14 days. A new traffic light system, recently launched, means countries have been given a green, amber or red light depending on the number of coronavirus cases there, allowing people to potentially have a summer holiday this year. All passengers have to wear face coverings on planes and ferries
Listen, think, share
Look at this week’s poster and talk about your experiences of holidays. Have you ever been on holiday? If you have, where did you go? If not, talk about where you might like to go, or any trips or visits you have particularly enjoyed. If you had to describe what you think a holiday is to someone, how might you describe it? Think about how our definitions about what a holiday is may be different depending on our own experiences.
Have you missed being able to travel or go to different places during the lockdown period? Think about some of the reasons that we think people choose to go on holiday.
Some people much prefer spending spare time at home rather than going on holiday. Which do you prefer? Talk about your reasons.
Read through the information found on the assembly resource showing a timeline of the recent restrictions and changes.
Talk through the reasons why we have these changes and rules in current times. Watch this week’s useful video below, which talks through some of the recent changes to travel. Are you pleased that people are able to travel more now?

Reflection For some, holidays can be a chance to escape from everyday pressures in our lives. For others, a rest from work and having the time to do things they enjoy is just the break they need. We are all different and have different ways to relax.

What is a holiday?
Listen, think, share
What does the word 'holiday' make you think of? Have you ever had a holiday? Did you go somewhere? Where was it? How did you get there? How long was your holiday?
Look at the resource , where some children tell us about their holiday.
Do you think all of these are holidays? Have you ever had a holiday like any of these children? Focus on some of the activities the children in the resource have done on their holiday e.g. swimming, playing on the beach, visiting a museum, going to the cinema, sledging, playing in the park. What would you enjoy doing?
A holiday is a period of time when you can relax and enjoy yourself away from home and you do not have to work or go to school. Do we use the word holiday to describe anything else? Have you heard of anyone say, ‘It’s the start of the summer holidays next week!’? When we don’t have to go to work or school, we can say we are taking or having a holiday, even if we don’t stay away from home.
Think about some of the activities you do during the school holidays. What did you do? Where were you? Who were you with? Did you enjoy them? Have you ever had a holiday that you did not enjoy? Do you think everybody likes holidays?
Reflection
A holiday is a break from school or work. We are all different so what we do and where we go on holiday is different. It is important to find time to relax and enjoy ourselves wherever that may be!

Mr Taylor , please can you send me my login for TT rockstars it has logged out and my homework book is at school. Thank you
I have been learning all about space! We camped out in the garden and used the telescope to find the planet Venus and look at the moon. It was very exciting! I have also been enjoying gardening with my mum . We have planted tomatoes and put them in our little greenhouse. I water them every day. I have nearly finished reading the BFG by Roald Dahl. I hope you are all safe and happy Love from Lily-Ann xxxxx
Joel would like to say he is missing Broadoak so much. He’s so excited to meet his teachers and friends again and is working hard.
Mr Taylor, Oscar has asked me to ask you if you could remind him of the 'special trick' you use to complete the number sentence where one number is missing. He says that my way is wrong! Thank you, Oscar's mum :)
