PS. Ask somebody to test you on your weekly spellings. Don’t disturb your parents or siblings though if they are busy with their own work.

Mr Hughes

I’ve been inundated with photographs and examples of the children’s maths, reading and writing from home today which is great to see. I hope that the ‘Thinking side’ in your English books has helped you to think about your choices of grammar and sentence structure when writing an improved attempt at your ‘Rooted’ story.

We enjoyed taking part in our Dance PE session this afternoon, however, I think I accidentally sent you the wrong link (SESSION 3 instead of SESSION 1). Here’s the link the first session. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05cj4jf

We did record the session in the classroom but the children are too embarrassed for me to show it to everybody!

Here’s a review of what the children at home and at school have produced today. Enjoy. Click here .Review of the day – Wednesday 6th January 2021#

It was lovely to see everybody again yesterday morning. As usual, I’m so impressed with the effforts that you have already started to put in in your home learning. It was lovely to see some of the short stories and maths work that you produced yesterday and many of these are shared with the children who are still learning in the normal school environment. I have shared some these below. In particular, well done to Amy for the fantastic description and detail that she is included in her story ‘Rooted’.
