Kings Oak Primary Learning Centre

YEAR 5

Hello Year 5

We hope that you're all feeling well and are excited to join in at home with new, fun and interesting ways to learn.  We need you to work hard at home, just as you do when you're in school work, but we want to provide you with opportunities to learn independently when you can.  This page will provide you with inspiration for learning.  It's important to us that if you can, please send us any completed work. We're happy to give you feed back and to help with anything you don't quite understand.  You know how to contact us by email at year5@kingsoakplc.org.uk.

ART/CREATIVE DESIGN: 

We would like to invite you all to take part in our special "7 DAYS OF DRAWING" challenge. Of course, it doesn't have to be drawing- you could use paints, sculpture or pencils to take part. The idea is that you create a piece of artwork every day for 7 days and each will be of something new. Feel free to interpret each day however you wish and to be creative and inventive. You can start this challenge whenever you want but please keep your work because we can't wait to see it when we return.  We really hope you have fun being creative!
