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.
Living and learning: I know what body image
Year 5/6 have been discussing body image. In their classes they generated a class definition of this term and identified what this means to them. They recognised that body image includes our feelings, and thoughts about their height, weight, shape, skin colour and appearance. The children looked at how image had changed over time. Each child was given a template of a bucket and we talked about how we all carry a bucket around and we fill it with the words people say to us. It is important to fill other people’s buckets with positive comments. We finally spent time writing positive comments on every persons bucket and ended the lesson reflecting on these. It was great to see so many positive comments from the children to each other.
Sport Relief – take two
We joined in with Sport Relief again today. Each class completed their own sport challenges – trying to improve personal best scores in skipping, basketball, running and football. Thank you for all the donations to this charity.
