A video message from Mr Catherall
Hi everyone
I hope you are all well and have settled back into ‘school’ life after the holidays. Here’s a little video message from me with a few top tips for thriving over the coming weeks.
Hall of (Home Learning) Fame: Easter Edition
Welcome back! As you can see from the pictures, it’s been a busy two weeks of fun filled activities. From den building to nature walks, it looks like you’ve really enjoyed our home learning activity menu.
Five Star Sports LIVE sessions
Five Star Sports regularly come into school to deliver fabulous sporty sessions. They are running some LIVE sessions on Facebook for you to join in with. There is a Monday session for younger children and Saturday morning football sessions. Join in and keep active with them.
Dancing with ‘Hello HipHop’
Some classes have had a few sessions delivered by Phil from Hello HipHop recently. We also had them booked in to deliver sessions for the whole school during Health Week. We will have to reschedule the sessions for the future but in the meantime, here are some hip hop moves for you to work on. Enjoy!
03 April: Hall of (home learning) Fame
Hello again everyone
Firstly, I hope you’re all keeping well and staying positive. It can be tricky to stay happy and healthy when you’re not going outside much but everyone I’ve had contact with has seemed as chirpy as always.
Thanks to the people who have been emailing regularly to stay in contact and get help when they need it. It’s really made me happy hearing from you. If you haven’t sent me an email yet, please do. It’s great to catch up with people!
Today is another exciting day for two people as they make it in to the highly respected ‘Hall of (home learning) Fame!’ #HoHLF
Entrant number 1 has been sending loads of pictures of her learning and it’s all been great! She’s been challenging herself and asking for help if she needs it; what a great skill to have. On a personal note, I really like, and appreciate, how this person always asks how I am and what I’ve been up to – it makes me smile every time. Well done, Lucy and welcome to the ‘Hall of (home learning) Fame!’
Our second entrant today has also sent a lot of images in. He’s been working super hard and has always kept in touch – thank you! What I like most about this piece of learning is that Alfie actually emailed me early in the day to say he was finding this task difficult. I replied with some hints and then later in the day received this picture of his completed learning – awesome effort! 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.
Send photos to your class teacher’s email address accompanied by #HoHLF. Terms and conditions apply.

02 April 2020: Hall of (home learning) Fame
It’s great to know that you are all still working well on your learning at home. Some people have even created very precise learning timetables – I’m really impressed! I love it when people are organised.
Below are a couple of photos from Lilia and Freya who have been busy completing the year 6 maths challenges. Well done!
Arty afternoon
Today, with my children, I have been researching the artist Henri Rousseau, a French painter born in 1844. He created many paintings of jungles, however because he had never visited a jungle, he based his ideas on trips to botanical gardens in Paris. My children and I had a go at creating our own jungle scenes and we used water colours to add colour.
Can you guess which one is mine?
Have a go at researching an artist and creating your own piece of art. Have fun!

Wake Up Shake Up (WUSU) playlist
A few children seem to be missing our daily WUSU sessions. We have had a lot of email requests for videos that children can dance along to (there is one already on the Year 1 & 2 Class News page). Here is the playlist if you would like to dance along to your favourites. There are more videos in the pipeline…watch this space!

It was lovely to hear how Jessica is getting on with her home learning and she sent some pictures through of her work. Her illustration of a Viking is brilliant, with great attention to detail and some adventurous vocabulary in her noun phrases. I really like the posters she has coloured that display a great positive message for everyone. Thank you. Mrs H.x

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!
