Oakfield Infant and Junior Schools Federation Year 5 Home Learning Planning Week 3

Hi Year 5, we hope that you are all well and are continuing to access your home learning tasks. Although the tasks are not compulsory, we would like you to attempt at least some of them. We have linked with our Y5 summer curriculum where possible but also added some fun activities for you to try. Remember, you can also access websites such as Topmarks, BBC Bitesize and Purple Mash to complete other activities.

We look forward to being together with you soon; until then stay safe, have fun and keep smiling!
