Year 5
Happy Easter holidays to all of Year 5! We hope you all have as much fun at home as possible over the holidays.
Relax and enjoy the time with your family. Play lots of games with your family, read loads of great books and get outside and enjoy the springtime. However, if you are at a loose end during the next two weeks here are a few ideas to keep you busy!
Create your own instrument, record a tune and send us the results at mstone@stbarnabas.eu and we’ll put it up on twitter
If your parents have Twitter get them to follow @KingsburySSP where there are lots of ideas and challenges on how to stay active and fit!
