Shade Primary School

Hello,

We hope you are well. We’ve really enjoyed seeing some of your work on Twitter and in the Facebook groups and can see that there are pieces that you are particularly proud of. In response, we have opened class email addresses where you can occasionally send individual pieces of more detailed work that your child is desperate to show their teacher!

Do still keep tweeting and sharing on Facebook – this is just for that extra-special WOW work.

Your child’s class email is year5@shade.calderdale.sch.uk

Stay safe. We miss you all

From all of us at Shade

What are your plans for VE Day?

We would love to know what you get up to at home for VE Day.

I'm going to be enjoying a BBQ in the garden with my parents and Ozzy!

You might make bunting, draw pictures, bake buns, wear something to commemorate the day, watch some of the celebrations on TV, have a picnic......
Whatever it is, please send us a picture of yourself - you can post it on our class Facebook group, tweet it and tag us (@Shade_Year5) or email it to photos@shade.calderdale.sch.uk (use Year 5 VE Day as your email subject).

Whatever you choose - have a lovely week-end
