Awesome Writing
Check out these great examples of the main news section of a news report (from our writing: texts lessons this week). We looked at these, and celebrated these, during our daily Zoom yesterday. I’m sure you’ll agree they’re pretty impressive!
Wow! You could read either of those in a paper or online – well done!
This news post might remind us of two really important things:
- Your class teacher wants to see your learning – particularly your writing. Send it in to us so we can give you feedback, either individually or during our daily Zoom.
- Don’t forget to join our daily Zoom. It means you can share / celebrate your learning, get feedback about some learning you’ve completed at home or, perhaps most importantly, catch up with your friends. If you join in, I guarantee you’ll feel happier, healthier and more motivated.
Volcano Alert!
Volcanoes
This week, we’re really enjoying our Natural Disasters topic work on volcanoes. Children have been reading First News articles in reading skills lessons, and creating their own volcano news article in writing lessons.
In topic, we’ve been learning about the layers of the earth and how volcanoes are formed.
Some families have made their own volcanoes from paper mache and real-life lava!
If you want to try this at home as a fun, craft activity, follow these links:
We love to see what you’re doing – please email your teacher with photos or messages of your creations. Thank you for your continued support!
Happy Home Learning!
Hello everyone!
We’ve had some lovely messages from pupils and parents that I wanted to share. Teachers really enjoy receiving pictures, poems and photos of everything that you’ve done at home. Keep up with the hard work everybody – you’re all doing a fab job!
Here are just some examples of children’s work at home:
Emotions homework – 3/4E
The emotions homework this week was very popular with pupils- the most popular this school year! In fact, I was blown away by the children’s enthusiasm for this homework, and the learning we’ve done in school. Well done and a big thank you to everyone who sent in your homework.
We had poems, posters, photo-posters and rhymes.
Here they are:
Emotions emotions we all have emotions.
Emotions emotions can make you feel nice,
Emotions emotions can make you feel right.
Emotions emotions when you feel good or bad,
Emotions emotions when you feel happy or sad.
Emotions emotions in all different ways,
Emotions emotions can brighten your days.
Emotions emotions we all have emotions.

3/4 NV Christmas dance
All week, we have been rehearsing our Christmas song and learning some dance moves to go with the words.
We hope you enjoy it and it makes you feel festive.
Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree
A Christmas song by 3/4E
We’re very excited to share ‘something Christmassy’ with you all. We chose a catchy song!
All week, 3/4E have been practising the singing and dance moves so that we could perform our version of All I want for Christmas – is you!
We hope you enjoy it; we think it’ll make you smile!
3,4O: Christmas Song
As you’ll all be aware, Christmas looks a little different for everyone this year. This is the same at Scholes, too. We’re still celebrating Christmas, very much so, but we’re doing so with a few differences.
Because we can’t invite you in to school to celebrate with us, we thought we’d quickly put something together to make you smile and feel all Christmassy.
Have a watch of us singing a class Christmas song – you could even sing-a-long!
We hope you enjoy it!
Reading: performance poetry
This week, our reading learning has been focussed on poetry. We’ve read two poems, answered some comprehension questions, idenitifed key features and read them aloud. We really enjoyed reading aloud ‘The Dragon Who Ate Our School’ by Nick Toczek.
Help at home by…
Asking your child how they made the poem interesting when reading it out loud.
Asking your child to read it aloud to you.
Asking your child to identify some of the key features in the poem.
3,4O: Certificates
Our penultimate week of 2020 was another super successful one in 3,4O. We’ve been writers, scientists, historians, performers and sports stars this week and, as always, our attitude has been superb – trying hard, being kind, being active learners and having a little fun along the way, too!
