Working from Home Y5&6 – Monday 27th April 2020

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!

It was great last week to see so many examples of the work the children had completed as well as photos of them working, so if you like to share your child’s work with me (for rewards and feedback), again this can be done via the Class Dojo portfolio.

Highlights from Home Y5&6 Friday 24th April 2020

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.

Working from Home Y5&6 – Friday 24th April 2020

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.

Highlights from Home Y5&6 – Thursday 23rd April 2020

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!
