Don't forget to check out a special video message from your Year 4 teachers!
Happy Friday!
Well, it's finally here... the final day of home learning. We would just like to say how proud we are of every single one of you for your continued hard work and resilience throughout the year. Although we've spent a lot of time apart, you have been the most amazing year group and we have had so many fantastic and memorable experiences together. We hope you have a wonderful Summer break and we can't wait for us all to be back together in September!
We would also like to say a huge good luck to our lovely Evelyn who will be moving to her new school in September. You have never failed to make us all smile with your kindness and performances (your Frozen renditions were always my favourite). We will certainly miss you but know that you will go and show them just how AMAZING you are!
Miss McNicoll, Mr Tinker and the rest of the Year 3 team xx

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.

Do you need to travel to have a holiday?
Listen, think, share
Think about holiday destinations. What countries do you hear people often visit? What types of places e.g. the coast, mountains, campsites? Make a list.
How do people get to the holiday destinations you listed? Discuss modes of transport they may use e.g. car, train, aeroplane, ferry, bus. Does where the holiday destination is, affect your travel choices e.g. if you were travelling abroad, would going in an aeroplane be better? Would it ever be possible to walk to a holiday destination?
Why do you think people go on holiday? If you have been on holiday before, why did you go? Look at resource 2, which shares more information about holidays and why we have them. Do we need to travel to go on holiday? Could one person’s definition of a holiday differ to another’s?
What would be your dream holiday? Where would you go? Would it involve travelling a long way or not? What activities would you do? Who would you go with? What would you need to pack? Do you think everybody enjoys holidays? Why?
Reflection
A holiday can mean different things to different people. Often it involves some travel as we enjoy a break away. However, this is not always the case and for some of us, the best holiday

Staying Safe Online
During school closures, children might be spending more time online and on devices. To help support you and your child during this time, we have put together some useful resources to educate them about how to stay safe whilst using the internet. We teach our children the SMART rules at Broadoak Primary so you may also wish to discuss these with your child:
S - Keep SAFE
Don't give out your personal information when you are online.
This includes your name, email address, phone number and passwords.
M - Don’t MEET up
Never meet up with someone you only know online, this can be dangerous.
People you have been talking to online are still strangers, even if you have been talking to them for a long time.
A - ACCEPTING emails, files, pictures or messages can be dangerous
Don't accept emails, messages, or open files, pictures or texts from people you don't know.
R - RELIABLE
Not all people are reliable, they might not be who they say they are.
Always check information with someone who knows, books or other websites.
T - TELL Someone
Always tell a parent, carer, friend or trusted adult if you feel uncomfortable or worried.
