Longstone Primary School Home Learning Grid - Level (P5/6)

Usually, the May Bank Holiday weekend is on a Monday and Tuesday.

This year, it is different. You have Monday 4th May off school and Friday 8th May off. This is to celebrate the 75th

anniversary of VE day (Victory in Europe) for the Allied Forces in World War 2.

As it is a shorter week, the learning-grid below is shorter and has a number of activities to help you learn more
