Good morning everybody and Happy New Year!

I hope you had a good holiday and that you are all safe and well. Here is the timetable for this week’s Home learning.

Your learning will be posted every week on here but make sure that you can access Google Classroom for Mathematics and English and other lessons. Don’t forget to practise your weekly spelling and read as much as you can!

Stay safe..

This term our topic is Egypt – I WANT MY MUMMY! We will start our topic next week.

For this week’s lessons in English & Maths, Science, PE & PSHE look on Google Classroom.

Outdoor Learning / Art

How lovely to be able to get an hour’s fresh air every day – during this time you can complete this week’s challenge.

Out and About – Photo challenge

For today’s exercise walk, take a camera or Smart phone. Take a creative photograph to represent each of these themes. If you don’t have a camera or a phone you can sketch or draw or even paint something similar. 

A flying object

A forced perspective

A geometric pattern

Can you guess what it is?

A living thing

A forced perspective is where you make something appears smaller or larger than it actually is, e.g. the classic shot of somebody pushing the Leaning Tower of Pisa up. 

Spellings

This week’s spellings – remember to practise them as much as you can in different and fun ways!

Children without a device on which to work

If you do not have a device on which to work could you please use the textbooks that you were given starting from the beginning, answering questions and making notes as you work through (please allow at least 30mins for Maths and for English).

Notes and answers can be written in the exercise books that were given out or on separate pieces of paper. Exercise books and paper are available from school.

The Final Week!!

Well, we are so nearly there. We have just about made it to Christmas (Season of fun and joy to all!!) and you guys have been BRILLIANT! Well done!

It has been a long and difficult couple of terms, especially after this year’s trials and tribulations, but you have all equipped yourselves marvelously.

As a class, you have worked hard and shown great resilience and perseverance and I think that over the holiday , you should be able to enjoy a well-earned rest…

Therefore, there will be no homework to complete and you should make the most of having some quality time with your families over the Christmas season. I hope that you receive some lovely gifts and have some memorable experiences.

Remember to help around the house, as Christmas can be an exhausting time for parents and carers!

Anyway… take care and I’ll see you all NEXT YEAR!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS

Mr M.
