VE Day - Year 5

Last week, Year 5 were learning about VE Day. They wrote a newspaper article as if they had been there and imagined themselves as soldiers fighting during the war. In preparation for lockdown tea parties on Friday 8th May, they made bunting and paper hats.

Hello St John's family,

I hope you are all keeping well. Here are some sports challenges for you to have a go at. There is a different challenge for each day of the week.

And when it is raining and sunny

at the same time I can see the rainbow when

the cron virus is still here I can look through

my window.''
