As I’ve been in school today with the children of key workers, I’ve mostly only been able to view everybody’s fantastic efforts at home today once I returned home. Not only has everybody been busy with the maths and English, but spending time in the kitchen has certainly proved popular today.

Here’s the highlights from home today.

Thursday’s 30.4.20 Highlights from Home Y5&6

Nelly and Jack have had a great battle to be top of the Spelling Shed league today. It’s the first time that two children have reached over 100 points. Well done to Heidi too who was only narrowly behind.

See you tomorrow. It’s that Friday feeling!

Good morning Y5&6.

It looks like it’s going to be a similar day today with the weather.

Unfortunately, the weather has been miserable today and it looks like it’s going to continue tomorrow. Take a look……

https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2637891

Today, I’ve been ‘snowed under’ with the amount of photographs of your learning at home, which is fantastic.

I know that a lot of you look forward to seeing these ‘Highlights from Home’ so if anybody wants to be original with what you send, eg, ‘Storytime with Nelly’, then it would be good fun. If you choose to send a video, it can’t be too long though (2 minutes long probably) or else the file might be too large to upload. It could be a PE warm up routine, some reading, a music or drama performance, etc…..

Here’s ‘Storytime with Nelly’ Day Five – Listen carefully to try to answer her question at the end.

Here’s the Highlights from Home page for today. Well done to everybody who has contributed, and if you aren’t on here today, it would be lovely to hear from you tomorrow.

Hi everybody,

It may be the start of a new week, but as usual, the children didn’t disappoint with their focus today. Welcome to a new addition in Y6, Zac, and hopefully you will all get the chance to meet him soon and make him feel really welcome at his new school.

Well done for maintaining your position at the top of the world league for a third day!

Nelly has been busy again but this time she’s going to test you on your listening skills by asking you a question at the end of her reading.

Here’s the ‘Highlights from Home’ for today. Enjoy!

Monday’s 27.4.20 Highlights from Home Y5&6

Welcome back Year 5&6 to a new week of learning from home. I hope that you refreshed yourselves during the weekend and are ready to focus again at the start of a new week. Myddle CE Primary School shall be open today with a few ‘key workers’ supporting a small group of children. Therefore, the books of the school children are still available to collect in the reception area if you still haven’t done so. Well done to all of those children who have helped to get the Y5&6 class to Number 1 in the world on Spelling Shed, however, since Sunday, we have now dropped back to number 6! Can we get back to the top again? Yes we can!

Here’s our timetable for today.

Have a good day. I’m looking forward to seeing how your progress today.

Well it’s finally the end of what has been a long week. Despite the gorgeous weather and the fantastic efforts by the children, it’s clear that they are wanting to get back to school and see their friends again. Once again, thank you to everybody who has been contributing to their learning and progress of the children at home. Having you there to keep them focused, checking their answers, and offering ideas and areas of improvement is so important. We couldn’t do it without you!

Would you believe, Y5&6 are now 4th in the world on Spelling Shed and we are closing in on 1st place. If it doesn’t get used, schools lose their points, so if each child can spend 5-10 minutes on Saturday and Sunday to practise their new spellings for next week, then hopefully we will maintain our position until Monday.

Here’s day two of ‘Storytime with Nelly’.

Here’s our Highlights from Home today.

Friday’s 24.4.20 Highlights from Home Y5&6

Have a good weekend everybody!

After the Easter two-week break, it has probably been a hard week for the children, having to get back into a routine of working from home. However, from what I’ve seen, they’ve shown great focus and resilience throughout the week. It must be difficult for both the children and yourselves, so a huge thank you for keeping up their concentration levels and high expectations. Hopefully you’ve been enjoying the ‘Highlights from Home’ pages that I’ve been uploading each evening.

Here’s Friday’s timetable of learning from home.
