English

In English today, we are going to complete our letter to Mum. Today we will write the closing sentence, who the letter is from and try to add some extra detail at the end using PS. I have shown you my example with lots of detail and then you can choose whether to include lots of detail like me or a little bit less.

Chinese New Year 

Today we will learn more about the celebration of Chinese New Year. Open the powerpoint and watch the video to learn about how the new year is celebrated, how each of the years are named and much more.

Then, choose an activity on the following slides of the powerpoint to show what you've learnt about Chinese New Year.  

To all of our families celebrating from all of us at Homefields Primary School, we wish you a very Happy New Year!
