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!
27 March 2020: Hall of (home learning) Fame
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.
Send photos to your class teacher’s email address accompanied by #HoHLF. Terms and conditions apply.
Terms and conditions: you must send a picture to be entered into the Hall of (home learning) Fame. Winners will be posted on this section of the website and will receive their prize as soon as they read it. The prize is a virtual high five from the Year 5,6 team.
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.
26 March: Hall of (home learning) Fame
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
How are you?
Hello Year 5/6. Some of you may have already forgotten what day it is. Others might still be wearing the same pyjamas from Friday. And I’m guessing a few of you have run out of things to clean, sort and generally order – can’t just be Mrs Hogarth.
Whatever you’ve been doing to pass the time, we’d like to hear from you. Don’t forget to email your teacher and let them know what games or learning you’ve enjoyed so far. With your consent, We’ll share your news on our class news page.
We look forward to hearing from you.
A little message from Mr Catherall & Mr Freeman
Hey guys
A note from me…
Mr C here. I hope you’re all well and managing to enjoy this strange time. You’ll all be super relived to hear that I have been managing to fill my time as I said I would. I’ve been keeping fit and learning a new language. I’ll soon be a French wizard as well as a maths wizard/genius! Although, it’s pretty tricky. All I can say at the moment is ‘You are a cat.’ I’m not sure how far that would get me if I went to France on holiday – I’ll be resilient and keep going though.
You’ll also be relieved to here that I am still making plenty of amazingly funny jokes! My partner doesn’t seem to find many of them funny either but I still think it’s you guys that have the problem not me!
Anyway, it’s nice to speak to you and I’d love to hear from all of you. Email me any questions or let me know how you’re getting on with your learning. When I hear from people it really makes me happy.
Keep up with your learning activities, stay active and make sure you are doing all you can to make sure you, and everyone else, is staying happy and healthy! And, most importantly, be nice! You’re all awesome so I’m sure your spreading the happiness already.
Missing you all! Mr C
And a note from Mr Freeman…
Hello Amigos! Mr Freeman here, and yes I am speaking Spanish all the time now – Duo Lingo is great. I don’t know about you be I have complete jelly legs from Joe Wicks morning PE sessions! I hope you’re all joining in and staying active, too.
I’m keeping in touch with my family and friends through an app that means you can video call multiple friends at the same time and play games together. It’s great to say hello to others, particularly if you need a boost from your friends.
I am missing school and being able to teach you wonderful people every day – I look forward to everything going back to normal. If you need questions or advice, please email – it makes us teachers happy knowing that we can help!
I’m looking forward to seeing you all again soon. Mr Freeman
Year 5/6 S Hello!
Hello my lovely class! I just thought I’d send you all a little message as I know you must be missing your teacher by now. I hope you are all getting on with all the home learning we are setting you. Don’t forget that presentation is still really important in those lovely green books I gave you. I would love to see some photos of your work if you would like to send me some. Make sure you are not forgetting to get some exercise each day and eat healthily. Remember, you can always use the Jo Wicks workouts, but also Otis Mabuse does a live dance routine every morning at 11:30 am. See if an adult can find it for you. It’s good fun- I had a go at it this morning. I will show you the routines I know when we get back to school! Look after yourselves. Mrs H.x
Thank you – ALDI sticker collection
This week, we received our free sports kit from the ALDI sticker collecting we did last year. We collected two posters worth, so got two bags! We look forward getting sporty with them in the not too distant future.
