Highlights from home Y5&6 Week 2

Well done everybody! The end of the term has arrived and you should all be proud of your achievements during the last two weeks, working from home in these difficult circumstances. Fingers crossed that we get some warm weather during the next fortnight so that you can spend plenty of time in the garden. This will allow the children to ‘play’ and be outdoors as much as possible.

Here are some of the highlights from this week’s work/activities by the children.

Here are the top 5 spellers from Spelling Shed today:
1st = Heidi 44 points
2nd = Ruby 41 points
3rd = Nelly 39 points
4th = Cameron 18 points
5th = Jack 11 points

Currently, we are in 13th place in the world on Spelling Shed. The new spellings to be learned during the Easter break shall be on Spelling Shed tomorrow morning, as well as the ‘Expected’ Y3&4 / Y5&6 spellings too.

As this is not the usual ‘Easter break’, some parents have asked for some work to be provided on the website so that their children are maintaining their high standards and kept busy, especially on the days where the weather may not allow for outdoor time. Therefore, even though I won’t be providing a daily timetable, I shall be putting on the website in the morning a mini project for the Y5s and Y6s to do separately should they wish to do so. Also, there shall be some extra maths activities for the children to have the opportunity to complete, based on their learning from these past two weeks.

For those children who choose to complete these activities, the rewards system (Dojos) will continue during this time and be added accordingly.

Even though I shall be busy planning next Summer Term’s lessons as well as beginning to write the children’s end of year reports, I will be delighted to be sent any examples of what they’ve produced and will of course continue to offer advice or feedback on the content of their work.

Happy Easter everyone!

 

 

Working from home Y5&6 Friday 3rd April

It’s the final day of the term, but it’s a strange way for it to end. Hopefully, you’ve all been safe and well at home, and the children have been able to maintain some form of normality and routine during the past two weeks. Thank you for supporting your child/children throughout these days at home whenever they’ve needed it.

I’ve tried to keep everything as normal as possible and in a way in which the children are capable of accessing their learning as independently as possible. It’s a huge help though that you are there to guide and encourage a high expectation and standard in the way that they learn. I’m always a quick message away if and when you need anything!

Here’s a timetable for the final day’s learning from home this term.

You’ve got 1 week to go until your Spring Term Easter holidays, so remember, try to stick to the timetable that you are given and treat it as a normal school week.
