Monday Worship – courage

Please find the link below to today’s worship which introduces our value for the half term, Courgage. I have tried to put it in the context of being brave and courageous during lockdown.

If you want to send in any work you do related to the story in the worship, you can attach it to the facebook post or send it via dojo to your teacher.

I hope everyone is keeping well. Many thanks for all the surveys that you have sent back letting us know how you are.

Panda Class Learning w/c 4th May 2020

Hi Pandas – Another huge effort from you last week – you are working so hard on a variety of wonderful things. Your photos and videos have really shown the determination you have to learn whilst having fun. A huge well done to you all!
Maths
The pattern work last week was very impressive. This can be continued to create more complex patterns. It is important that each pattern has at least three full units of repeat. The more units of repeat the easier it is to identify the pattern. Encourage your child to say the pattern aloud.

Patterns can also be found in stories – such as We’re going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen. Encourage your child to build their own bear hunt journeys using things you find around the house/garden and repeat the patterned language from the story as they travel through them. They could also invent language patterns of their own.

If you feel you have completed enough work on patterns then we are moving on to Adding through change. Which is when the children will use real objects to see that the quantity of a group can be changed by adding more. This is the first, then, now structure.

For example: First, there were 5 people on the bus. Then 2 more people got on. Now there are 7 people on the bus. This structure uses mathematical stories to create a meaningful context. Create these ‘stories’ for your child and then see if they can make one for you.

Draw them or use every day objects to create the ‘story’.
A good story for this is Mr Gumpy’s Outing by John Burningham – After reading the story ask your child to create a boat and make their own first, then, now stories as different groups of characters climb aboard. This is a link to Mr Gumpy’s Outing

https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=youtube+mr+gumpy%27s+outing&&view=detail&mid=CCE4919A115A6F76DD8CCCE4919A115A6F76DD8C&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dyoutube%2Bmr%2Bgumpy%2527s%2Bouting%26%26FORM%3DVDVVXX

All of the above is very practical and done through talk but if you feel it could be recorded then that is great but not to be pushed if your child is unwilling. Monster Points seem to be working well as a bribe…

English
Reading – Lots of reading and listening to stories being read.
This is a link to Story Time from Ruth Miskin Read Write Inc.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7fbLgY2oA_cFCIg9GdxtQ

Writing – Create lists.
This could be linked to the maths work – ‘Who was in Mr Gumpy’s boat?’ Write a list of each character. Shopping lists and ‘To Do’ lists are also good activities.

Children could make stick puppets of the characters and act out the story. They could also act out the story themselves, using props from around the house and garden.

Phonics – These are brilliant free resources that will really support your child’s phonic knowledge – I definitely recommend watching them.
https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/api/interactives/29317.html This is an online booklet for sets 2 and 3 speed sounds from RWI phonics.

https://www.ruthmiskin.com/en/find-out-more/help-during-school-closure/ This is a Ruth Miskin Speed Sounds lesson schedule, it runs to 19th May at the moment.

If you need any information or support please send me a message and I will gladly get back to you. If you need more guidance and ideas, I have added a link below with some ideas and information about supporting young children with their mental well-being.

Highlights from Home Y5&6 – Friday 1st May 2020

Another day, another huge success. Well done everybody for getting Y5&6 back to the top of the world Spelling Shed league, having been 6th at the start of the day. A journalist from the Shropshire Star has been in touch today wanting to write about your success on Spelling Shed and they are hoping to publish a report in their paper (and on their website) on Monday. So, when you accepted the challenge of proving to her that you are capable of getting back to the top of the league, you took on that challenge superbly. I’ve never seen scores like it! She was very impressed at your determination and concentration!

Can you calculate how far clear you are from the class in 2nd place now?

1.	Year 5 & 6 Myddle, Harris Gough Federation, England	904,002,973
2.	Year 2 Mrs Styles Phonics, Paget Primary School, England	802,605,012

Hopefully you all watched the story about the Hindu god Ganesha and understood how he came to look like the way that he did.

Another story time session today………. (Can you answer the question?)

Here’s the ‘highlights from home’ for today. Have a good weekend all!

Highlights from Home Y5&6 – Thursday 30th April 2020

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!
