Hello everyone,

I do hope you were able to enjoy time outside this weekend in the lovely, dry, sunny weather! I certainly enjoyed lots of walks with my dogs and I hope the sun leads to an enjoyable and positive week.  

An extremely big well done for all the hard work last week whilst learning from home (I have included some of the pictures I received in the blog post below). Daily, regular or weekly photos of your work along with your feedback on the learning has been incredibly useful for me to know the level of understanding by individuals and therefore for me to plan the week ahead according to this understanding so a massive thank you for these.

Please find the home learning tasks in the uploads for today. Remember to look at the overview sheet first which explains the learning tasks for the day. Sometimes there are links between lessons like English and reading so it is important that you look through the overview sheet before commencing work. 

Our TEAMS sessions today will be at the usual times:

Year 5 (Y5) 10:00-10:20am+

Year 6 (Y6) 11:00-11:20am+

Don't forget the chat option through TEAMS is available during school hours and you can stay on the Teams session after your year group time slot, if you have any questions about the learning. Please feel free to send me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Enjoy your day,

***Please note I have had great difficulties uploading today (especially the reading documents which I have had to change the format of). I am hoping everything works okay when you try to download them. Please let me know of any difficulties. I have uploaded an extra PDF about Egyptian gods and goddesses if you have problems downloading the reading text file.

Hello everyone, 

Another huge well done for your home learning once again this week. Words can’t describe how extremely proud I am of you especially with how you have all approached your learning and how you are all doing the best you can under the circumstances. I know it is not easy but you are all putting in a fabulous amount of effort and persevering with the daily challenges.

It has been so nice to see lots of examples of your work already this week; I’ve enjoyed seeing every single one of you through TEAMs. It is also brilliant that more of you are starting to use the call option to discuss your work in person.

Today we have ‘Funky Fitness Friday’, where you can join in our fitness session at 9am, dressed in a random piece of clothing. This week, we will be seeing if I have managed to sort the technical difficulties we had last week, by doing another Joe Wicks session, hopefully followed by an Egyptian Pilates challenge.

Make sure you access this via the Whole Class channel option. I will start the call from 8.50 but the exercises won’t start until around 9am (or when Joe is ready!).

For those year 5 children who found yesterday’s first look at long multiplication difficult, I have included a link to a YouTube video which explains how to carry out the calculation. Some people like to put the number they are carrying above the next numbers; if you prefer to put it below, that is fine, just don’t get confused with what numbers you need to add when calculating the final answer at the end.

Hi everyone,

I hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend after a busy week of home learning.

Thank you for all the feedback last week regarding the different sessions and the learning that the children have been completing at home. It is so important that we have these conversations so I can plan accordingly and know who might need extra support in certain areas.

Thank you for all the photos of work last week. Please keep sending me these photos of your learning as I am busy collating an electronic file for each of you so that I can keep a collection of your work. Miss Edwards and I are extremely proud of how you are adapting to home learning and with the effort that is being put in each day.

Miss Edwards hopes to jump in on more of our ‘Fitness Friday’ sessions because she enjoyed seeing your smiling faces so much! Well done to those of you who did join in with our Joe Wicks session on Friday- we did work through some technical issues but I am hoping these issues reduce with the more sessions we do!

Please find the home learning tasks in the uploads for today. Remember to look at the overview sheet first which explains the learning tasks for the day.

Our TEAMS sessions today will be at the following times (and the same on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday). I will be taking a register at the start of each session so please try to be logged in for the start time of your session: 

Year 5 (all) 10:00-10:20      Year 5 channel once you’ve logged in.  

Year 6 (all) 11:00-11:20      Year 6 channel once you’ve logged in.  

Don't forget the chat option through TEAMS is available during school hours so if you have any questions about the learning please feel free to send me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

All the best for the week ahead.

Hello everyone, 

Please find the home learning tasks uploaded for today. Don't forget to look at the overview sheet first which explains the learning for the day. 

Our TEAMS sessions today will be at these times. We are trialing the smaller groups for year 5 children so please do let me know your feedback regarding the smaller groups.

Group 1 9:00-9:20am

Group 2 10:00-10:20am

Group 3 11:00-11:20am

Please refer to the document titled, ‘Teams Trial Groups’ if you do not know your group.

With math for year 5 children today, it is the second half of the math sheet from yesterday. Please do direct chat or call me if you are having difficulties with this method so I can help explain it. The link in the overview has the learning video for the method which is extremely useful. The small hall math group's work is an activity via PowerPoint- the questions are within the PowerPoint.  

Year 6 children make sure you use a place value grid to help with the process of dividing by 10, 100 and 1000; we have looked at this before Christmas. 

Don’t forget my chat is available during school hours so if you have any questions about the learning please feel free to send me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Keep up the great efforts with your home learning.
