Over the next half term, Year 5 topic homework will be to create a topic project all about Space. To promote taking responsibility for your own learning as you get older, this homework is designed to give a greater choice and to allow you to complete work that interests you. I have given a list of suggested tasks associated with Space. Please choose one of the tasks to complete. This work will be due in on the week commencing 2nd November. Please submit via email.
