Don’t forget to read, practise your times tables and exercise daily; take time to ‘chill’ and look after your mental wellbeing too.
Take care and keep smiling.
Have a look at this digital book if you haven't already for primary children and young people about the coronavirus. It has illustrations by Axel Scheffler (the man who illustrates Julia Donaldson's books such as The Gruffalo and Stick Man) and it answers lots of questions and aims to both inform and reassure.

Home Learning
Here are some pictures you have sent me of the work you have been doing at home. Well done and keep them coming.
We created these fabulous bags as part of our work on Show Racism the Red Card.
WORLD BOOK DAY
We dressed as characters from all sorts of books and shared our favourite stories with each other.
THE RICKSHAW CHALLENGE
On Wednesday 13th November the Rickshaw Challenge came past our school. The One Show’s Matt Baker and 6 young riders, all of whom have been helped by Children in Need, pedalled from Holyhead to London.
Y6 loved the Rickshaw Challenge with a new route, a new team, and a newly modified rickshaw that went past our school.
A team of six young people and The One Show’s Matt Baker took on an eight-day challenge to cycle 400 miles from Holyhead to London. This year’s route saw the team ride to Flash, the highest village in the UK, and tackle the steepest street in the world in Harlech, Wales.

Meet our new friends.....
On the 24th of October Waingroves Primary School decided to host another pumpkin competition. One child from each class was chosen to be a winner by Ms Bamford and Mrs Tattershaw. Take a look at the Y6 children’s pumpkins.
Carrot Cookies
We had so much fun baking carrot cookies. Everybody had a fabulous time eating them. It was very messy but it was worth it and everybody got their hands incredibly sticky.
Stand Up Derbyshire
On Friday the 27th October 2019 we had a Stand Up Derbyshire day.
We were all very energetic and did lessons in an active way.
