31 March 2020: Hall of (home learning) Fame
Lilia and Lleyton have been very busy today working on their expanded noun phrases. I think the art work is amazing – well done! If anyone else would like their work posting, just send it over and prepare yourself for fame!
Toilet Roll Challenge
Some of you may have seen online that people were challenging each other to see how many ‘keepy uppies’ they could do with a toilet roll – it was an online, social media trend.
Well, one of our class got in touch with their effort and challenged Mr Freeman and myself to better it.
Here’s the challenger’s effort (we have his consent to post this)…
Challenger 1 – who actually wasn’t very well at the time
Followed by our responses:
Mr Catherall surprised himself….
And Mr Freeman’s football skills shone through…
Have a go and see if you can beat us.
31 March 2020: Hall of (home learning) Fame
Hello everyone
I hope everyone is well. We should all be trying to enjoy this opportunity and making sure we keep ourselves emotionally, mentally and physically happy and healthy. It’s been great to hear from lots of you. If you haven’t sent me an email yet, please do. It’s great to catch up with people!
Today is an exciting day for a few member of 56OB as they finally make it in to the highly respected ‘Hall of (home learning) Fame!’ #HoHLF
So, here goes…
This person has been working hard to keep their brain, and their body, happy and healthy. Good job! Well done – you’re officially in the ‘Hall of (home learning) Fame!’ Also, in the back ground I can see an interesting book: ‘The boy at the back of the class‘. This is next on my reading list so maybe we can compare notes next time we see each other.
Here we see an awesome home learning set up from this member of Team 56OB. Really impressive stuff here (and I loved your email telling me what you’d been up to, too). Well done and congratulations on being accepted into the ‘Hall of (home learning) Fame‘.
And finally, it’s a family affair for our next entrants. This collaborative learning approach has led to all 3 members of this household being able to learn from home. Well done and welcome to the ‘Hall of (home learning) Fame’!
Stay tuned for more entrants to our Hall of (home learning) Fame over the coming days.

Expanded noun phrases
Alfie, Amelie and Olivia have sent in their work on expanded noun phrases. It’s great to see how you’ve approached the learning in different ways. Well done.
Animal Magic!
The WWF (World Wildlife Fund) have a wonderful website that is full of great ideas to do at home. It has quizzes, videos and some creative ideas too. Have a look and see what you think.
Another fun activity is to type an animal name into Google and in the results list there will be ‘Meet a life-sized panda up close.’ Click on this and it will show you an amazing 3D moving image of an animal and you can even have your photo taken with it. I just had a tiger in my kitchen!

Hey everyone
I hope you’re all well and keeping safe. Mr Freeman says hi, too.
It has been great to hear from so many people today. If you haven’t emailed me yet please do. It’s been lovely to catch up with people and has really brightened up my mood. If everyone got in touch, I’d be super happy.
Today marks a special day for a few people as they officially get inducted into the Hall of (home learning) Fame. This is a huge achievement so a big well done. If you’d like to be considered for this special accolade please send your photos via email.
This person completed the maths learning and corrected some mistakes. Mrs Hogarth claims she put them there on purpose – I’m not convinced but I’ll let you decide. Congratulations, Alfie – you’ve made it in to the highly prestigious Hall of (home learning) Fame!
This person mixed creativity with PE and came up with an awesome assault course for her whole family – great work. Things like this will definitely keep you and your family happy and healthy. Congratulations, you are in the Hall of (home learning) Fame!
An excellent character description from Lucy here. I love the ENPs (explain to your adults what these are) and the varied language used. Well done, Lucy – you’re in. Welcome to the Hall of (home learning) Fame!
And here, we see a classic ‘working from home pose’ from our final entrant of the day. It’s great to see you’ve been completing the learning tasks to keep your mind happy and healthy. Well done – you’re in. Welcome to the Hall of (home learning) Fame!
Stay tuned for more entrants to our Hall of (home learning) Fame over the coming days. It would be great to have a load of pictures to post.

P.S When I write these posts, I imagine I’m a mix of Ant & Dec and a really cheesy game show host. It might help if you read them with this in mind!
Marvellous Messages
Thank you very much to all the children who have been in touch with me today. It’s been great to hear from you and hear how you are getting on with your home learning. It has also been really nice that some of you have asked how I am. That’s a really nice quality to show, so thank you.
Here are some photos that I have received from Ava, showing me all the learning she is doing at home. She even tried the soap and pepper experiment to show the importance of washing your hands. At least we don’t have to line up at the sink and sing the Conga anymore! Take care all of you.

Descriptive writing
Thanks Amelie for getting in touch to share your brilliant writing. Can’t wait for the full story. Viking boy’s Tony Bradman has inspired you but yours is much better. Well done.

A huge congratulations to the first entrants in our new Hall of (home learning) Fame. It’s great to see that people are completing their learning tasks and enjoying them. Please send in some pictures for a chance to make it into our highly exclusive Hall of (home learning) Fame.
Three things going on in this group shot: drawing Viking Boy on a laptop, creating a Viking Boy story map and writing in a daily journal. Awesome to see guys – keep it up! Welcome to the Hall of (home learning) Fame.
Practising maths learning – great stuff! Welcome to the Hall of (home learning) Fame.
Our final entrant for today proving that learning comes in all shapes and sizes: creating a finger board skate park! Those us of us who know this person well will not be surprised by this. Awesome work (I’m a little jealous of this idea). Welcome to the Hall of (home learning) Fame.
Stay tuned for more entrants to our Hall of (home learning) Fame over the coming days. It would be great to have a load of pictures to post.

Good morning 5/6 S
Good morning everybody!
I hope you all had a good nights sleep and that you’re looking forward to another day of home learning.
Today I am setting you a challenge. I want as many of you as possible to email me to let me know how you are getting on. I’m missing our class chats and giggles together. In your emails though, I want you to tell me about one of the best things that you’ve done whilst at home, since we finished school. I want to know how you are getting on with your home learning and also the yummiest thing you have eaten recently. We are no longer able to have our chats about food, so we will have to do it via email instead. I accidentally ate a Cadbury’s Creme Egg last night (other eggs are available). It was yummy! Feel free to send me any pics of what you are up to- it’s nice to see your smiling faces. I’ve already seen a few photos and it has really made me smile.
Anyway, I hope to hear from you later. Have a great day and keep smiling.
Mrs H.x
