Computing home learning:
Hello,
This week's activity is called 'Sorting It Out'.
Although it may not feel like a computing activity, you are learning about algorithms (sets of instructions) spotting patterns and being able to use your brain to think like a computer!
I hope you enjoy completing it!

Hello Year 1!
Wow! It's the last week of term and we have learned so much over the last 12 weeks about 'Special books'.

Do you know the instruments in the orchestra? Listen carefully to each instrument playing and see if you can guess which instrument makes that kind of sound. You might want to have a few goes and see if you can do better each time!
