It’s been great to see so many of the Y5&6s keen to continue their learning at home this week, working independently through their timetable of activities. Many children are practising hard on their spellings and we our class is currently in 39th place in the WHOLE WORLD on Spelling Shed! Can we make the top 35 by practising every day from 9:30 – 9:45am? If you all do your bit, you will zoom up the leaderboard!

Here’s a few highlights from this week’s pupil’s activities at home………..

Amy has been busy with separating her mixtures in Science.and also finding time for some forest school and painting activities in her garden.

Many of the children have been keeping on top of their spellings by asking somebody in their home to give them their weekly spelling test.

Spellings Week 1

Keep it going! You’re doing great!

With the weather being so lovely today, hopefully all of the children managed to get some ‘down time’ in the garden or on a carefully chosen walk somewhere. Knowing our weather, it will probably snow on Friday!

School shall be open tomorrow as we are hosting the children whose parents are key workers. Therefore, if you have not already done so, please feel free to collect your child’s books (Sketch, RE, Topic, Science) from the reception area at any point during the day. I shall also leave out some paper for you to share as well as many of you will have been doing lots of printing at home.

Well done to Harvey who was awarded the 5 Dojos for his fantastic art work this afternoon. All of the other children who sent me their attempts were given 1 Dojo each!

If you can’t access the attachments at home for whatever reason, I shall be in school on Monday from 8:15am onwards to provide hard copies of any activities that are listed below, which I shall leave in the reception area of school.
