April already – where did March go? 

It’s fantastic to see you are beginning to upload things to Tapestry, having a go at your challenges.  It will be a great way to see your progress.  If you haven’t decided on your challenge or I haven’t yet collected your ideas, don’t worry I will be collecting all of them when I speak to your families (or you can post on Tapestry and tell me too!) and then we can put together a list so you call all see what people are doing.  I love the ideas I have been collecting so far.

English – It’s time to test those instructions, either try them out yourself or give them to someone else in the family to have a go at – remember to follow the instructions exactly to see if they work.

Maths – Continuing our work on time here are two links to time games that you might want to have a look at.

Topic – Have a look at this short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLce9i2Ci5wand make a list of the similarities and differences between a mosque and our local church in Sleights.

Happy April everyone.

It has been lovely to hear what you have been doing last week and I am looking forward to being able to share more with you through Tapestry.

For those who would like to, I am going to set you three tasks each day: 1 English, 1 maths and 1 topic.  I know lots of you are busy with your arithmetic books and grammar so you can do as much or as little of this as you like.  You will find that that the whole school is going to try and follow the same maths and English topics so that you can completed these as a family if you wish.

English – we are going to think about instructions this week – today is the day to carry out a task that you will be able to write instructions for over the week.  Some ideas – making up a game, baking a cake or making a model.

Maths – the clocks have just changed and the evenings are now lighter so we are thinking about time.  Have a go at doing a timetable for your day at home using digital times.

Topic – try and draw a design for your Victorian light – remember to label your drawing and imagine that you have to fit the circuit inside.  (It would be great to start collecting some recycling material too so that we can make it once you have collected what you need.)

Finally, you can upload any of this (or anything else you would like to share) to Tapestry and I will be able to see it – very exciting!

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Firstly, well done everyone – our Sumdog percentages have increased very quickly – Wow!

I hope you all had more luck in your garden/environment yesterday than I did – I think maybe the bounding spaniel has scared mine away.  I’m going to have another look in the sunshine today.

As the sunshine is still out today, let’s do some art.  Find something, either inside or outside, to make a pencil drawing of.  Remember to use light and dark strokes, think about pattern and texture too.

Happy drawing.

This is our first week of learning from home.  I am going to join Joe Wicks at 9am every weekday morning and I would love you to join me – we can all be active together!  Please follow the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz0go1pTda8.

Remember to try and complete some of your activities each day, little and often is the way to go.  It is also important that you spend time with your families: play that board game that has been hiding under the bed; make your lunch or tea together to practise your cooking skills and try and get some time outside in your gardens whilst the weather is nice.

More importantly, stay safe and healthy.
