Home Learning – Year 5

English Maths Monday – Story Starter

Month: June Year: 3015

Dear diary,

It has now been 2 years since we moved here. Leaving Earth was tough, but we are beginning to feel more at home with every single week that passes.

When we came to our new home, we were allowed to bring everything with us from our Earth homes. It still feels a bit strange though. Life without gravity really takes some getting used to!

Can you continue the diary?

Tuesday – Empathy Day Completing Empathy day activities.

Today is Empathy Day. We are proud (and lucky!) to be a hub for Empathy Lab and we champion empathy in all that we do at Kenilworth. Empathy is made up of 3 elements: thinking; acting and feeling. Today, on Empathy Day, we are encouraging everybody in our school community to do three key things:

Read: Find and start an empathy-boosting book

Connect: Practice listening 100%

Act: Use your empathy skills to make a difference Below, you’ll find a timeline of activities being hosted by Empathy Lab which you will be able to access through www.empathylab.uk – please choose one (or more, if you are able!) to take part in at home.
