Week 3

5th Class Suggestions

As week 3 rolls around of home-schooling, we have put together another week’s work for the

children. We are aware of how stressful this time is for families and don’t wish to add to that

stress, however, these are some ideas that may keep you going in your home.

We plan to run the SESE topics for 2 weeks' work. The children can express their learning in

any way that they wish. It can be a project, a video presentation, a quiz(kahoot), a PowerPoint

presentation, a drama, written diary entries, a song, poetry, a narrative story, a drawing, a

painting.

There are many different ways to show learning, allowing your child to be creative and

independent.

Keep Safe,
