Highlights from Home Y5&6 – Thursday 23rd April 2020

Yet again, another beautiful day outside, so hopefully you all got a chance to experience the outdoor life. Hopefully, the children enjoyed learning about their chosen sports person and turning their notes into the start of a biography today. It’s been great to read the examples that have been created so far. It looks like many of the children enjoyed making their hummus (even though they may not have liked the taste!). For those who chose the phoenix’s eye, it may get frustrating along the way, but it’s worth it in the end.

Thanks to our star spellers today, we’ve now climbed into 7th place in the world!

Nelly has started her own ‘story channel’ – Reading with Nelly. Here’s today’s edition.
And then, after all of her hard work this morning, she enjoyed some ‘down time’ with the dogs in the garden.
Here’s the rest of the highlights from today’s learning at home. I hope you enjoy it and gain inspiration from all the effort that these children/parents have been putting in at home. I certainly have!

Good morning everybody. Well done on your hard work from yesterday. I’m looking forward to seeing what you produce at home today. The weather is supposed to be lovely this afternoon so hopefully Chloe will spend more time on her trampoline, Reuben will attempt to break his 500m record in the pool, Lily will try and achieve 5 keep ups with her football, Katie and Lucy will show off their rollerblading skills and Nelly will record her first episode of ‘Reading with Nelly’ live from outdoors!

Simile (like or as)- glowing like the embers of a fire, as bright as a star

Good luck!

Highlights from Home Y5&6 – Wednesday 22nd April 2020

Yet again, the Y5&6 children proved how fantastic they are and demonstrated a great work ethic at home today. They really are an inspiration to the rest of the school on keeping that focus and concentration, even though they aren’t in their usual learning environment. Currently, they have now climbed to 16th in the world rankings on Spelling Shed and I’ve no doubt that they will be aiming to get back into that top 10 by the end of the week.

Here’s today’s ‘Highlights from Home’

Nelly would also like to read to you again as well as showing you her typing skills.

 

Year 6 Hoodies

Please can Year 6 parents check their emails for an message from Mrs Smith/Mrs Collins regarding the Hoodies.

Mrs Collins has been working extremely hard to get these sorted for us but needs some of the children to amend their choice of colours.

If you have any questions please email Mrs Smith on admin@myddle.shropshire.sch.uk

Let’s Celebrate

During these challenge times, it has been so rewarding, through use of technology, to not only set work but to receive work from pupils and updates of what they have been up to. With Myddle school being such a small community, it feels so strange being apart from each other, so it is with pleasure that I can share some of the wonderful work and activities our pupils have been up to while at home. Parents, you are doing an amazing job, helping your children at home, many of you juggling school work and work of your own. So we take our hats of to you. We also appreciate your messages over Dojo as we are all here to help when help is needed.

We enjoy seeing the wonderful things everyone has been up to on a daily basis and would like to share these with you. They are truly something to celebrate. We hope you enjoy the video.

Keep well and keep safe

Mr Glover
