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

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.

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

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.

Enjoy your weekend!

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!

Thursday’s 23.4.20 Highlights from Home Y5&6

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!

Lesson 1 Art

Have a great day!

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’
