Again, if fancy being active, then click on the link below for a daily workout from the body coach Joe Wicks. Each day, he will continue to stream a live 30 minute PE lesson for pupils access at home at 9am. There are also a wealth of 5/10 min workouts specifically aimed at children which are great.

Joe Wicks – Workout Sessions

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. As usual, if you have any queries, please continue to contact me via the Class Dojo app.

I will also set some daily challenges on a Tuesday and Thursday and send the link out via Class Dojo around 8am each day.

Kind regards and keep well

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!

Highlights from Home Y5&6 – Tuesday 28th April 2020

Unfortunately, the weather has been miserable today and it looks like it’s going to continue tomorrow. Take a look……
https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2637891

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.
