WAGTAILS’ WEEKLY SUGGESTED HOME LEARNING – WB 8.6.20

Can you believe it is the second week in June already? Time is flying by and we are missing you all more and more each day.

With all the emails and tweets we received last week, it seemed as though you really enjoyed the home learning tasks based on the story ‘Yeti and the Bird’. Thank you so

much for keeping in contact with us and showing us your wonderful work. For the next two weeks, we want you to become historians! Are you up for that

challenge? We are setting you a project task, which we know you will thoroughly enjoy! We want you to learn all about the Great Fire of London. You need to do lots of research to find out about this important event in history and then present your findings in some

way. We like the idea of you creating a Great Fire of London scrapbook full with interesting facts and pictures. We are certain you will come up with some fantastic,

imaginative ways to showcase your learning to us. Have fun historians!

Love fromMiss Silver and Mrs Costello
