Hello Skylarks,

I am really missing you all and I am thinking about the great memories we have made this academic year. I am thinking about how far you have all come and how much you have grown! I am thinking about how much fun we had creating our Rockstars dance at Christmas and how fantastic each and every single one of you were in the production! It is clear how talented some of you are in dance and performance. The reason you were all so good, is because you worked super hard as a team and shared encouraging words of support with one another to be the best you could be. Today, I would like you to have a look at this lesson to support your well being and develop your understanding of the benefits of working as a team. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zdq3bdm

Take some time to have a look at this lesson about positions and coordinates. We have looked at coordinates before in Geography and I know you completed some of this learning with Mrs Evans last year. https://www.thenational.academy/year-5/maths/describing-positions-and-coordinates-year-5-wk1-3

Today's riddle: What's bright orange with green on top and sounds like parrot?

Yesterday's answer: Your eyes

Message from Mrs Powell:

What did the world look like on VE day? What were people eating? Over the past few months, you might have had to eat something different because shopping is a little more complicated. What food did people eat on VE day? Lots of you have been growing your own fruits and vegetables; I’m growing tomatoes, herbs and strawberries and waiting to see if my peppers will grow! During the war, food was rationed so people grew as much food as they could. Another one of my Gran’s favourite foods was liver and she would make me and my brothers and sisters eat it all the time because she said it was good for us! We really didn’t like that but I like the ideas of some of these war time food; my Gran Peggy would have loved the liver casserole!

Here's some of the popular foods eaten during World War II and the sort of dishes that featured in VE Day celebrations.  Do you fancy trying any of them?

• Dripping sandwiches with beef fat
• Lord Woolton pie (cauliflower, potatoes, parsnips, oats)
• Pork faggots with onion gravy and mash
• Homity pie (potato, onion and cheese)
• Corned beef hash
• Liver casserole
• Eggless fruit cake. Why do you think it was eggless?

Take care and stay safe!
