Stage 1 – Salt Dough Sculpting

By Mrs Graves8th January 2021

LKS2 got crafty this afternoon. We completed the first part of creating our own Volcano models – but first we had to make the salt dough – it was very sticky.

We will leave the models to dry over the next few days and then we will paint them to make them look more realistic.

The challenge has been set to create a Volcano backdrop scene out of a shoe box.

We will eventually be using our volcano models for scientific experiments – so if you haven’t had chance to make it yet, don’t leave it too late.

You can find the salt dough recipe and volcano instructions on Thursday 7th January on Google Classroom.

Shout Out!

By Mrs Graves6th January 2021

Well done everyone that logged on today, either at home or in school.

There have been a few technology issues but stick with it as I’m sure we will be able to sort it.

There is a button on the front page of the school website called Parent Help Centre that has step by step guides on how to log on and complete different activities in Google classroom.  Please have a look at this if you are having difficulties logging on etc

We are doing a practical task tomorrow afternoon, so if you are working from home, plain flour and salt will be useful ( however, you could also use playdoh.

I will share the Google Meet code for 4G class crew at 8:50, feel free to make a start on the Do Now On this day task on Google Classroom. Miss Lotysz, Miss Topliss and Miss Lister will do the same for their class.

I wanted to share the work Eva has completed today! Well done for completing the tasks and adding photographs of your work.

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Reminder of Protocols when working online

6th January 2021Miss Topliss

Good evening everyone,

Thank you so much to the children who have joined us online today and have been working in school too.

Please can we just remind you of appropriate protocols when working online, especially in the chat down the side of the video call and the streams on Google Classrooms.

These ‘chats’ are places for children and adults to talk about learning so that you can let us know if you need support or need to alert us to something. Please remember that everyone can see this. Please do not use the chat to talk to one specific child unless it is about learning and you are coaching/supporting a peer. (For example, chatting to one child making arrangements to talk later should not be done in a school chat).

We understand children will want, and need, to communicate with their friends. They can do this by coming on during Crew and sharing feelings and thoughts in circle as we would in school. Children can also communicate with their friends in private, but please can this not be done through school communication.

Finally, children should not enter the video chats before the arranged session time when a teacher is not present. The times for live learning are outlined each day on the blog and Google Classrooms. Please do not log on a long time ahead of lessons and use this as a way to chat.

I hope you understand that we are asking for this to keep all children safe and using the technology appropriately. It is so important we keep the children as safe online as we do in school.

Thank you for your understanding.

Wednesday 6th January

By Mrs Graves6th January 2021

Good Morning,

Our face to face online learning starts at 8:50 this morning with our crew circle. Please use the Google Meet code to join.  https://meet.google.com/buw-qwsp-pqsThis is the code that we will use for all of our sessions today.

Please go onto the feelings check in on Google Classroom and complete as your do now task. We also have an on this day task (task 2) while you are waiting for people to join.

We will start our day with Crew and feelings, followed by Expedition, then English after break and then we will have maths after lunch. At the end of the day we will meet as crew and complete our howls.

We have built breaks into the day. Lunch this week will be at 11:55 for the children in school, so that will be a change to the timetable for this week.

Don’t worry if things don’t work right straight away, this is new for all of us – we will all be experts in technology soon!

Looking forward to seeing you,

Mrs Graves

Year 3 – Maths Learning

By elister6th January 2021

Good morning year 3!

Our unit of Maths is Length and Perimeter. We are going to look at non-standard measures to measure the length of items you have around the house. For today’s task you will need lego, cubes, building blocks or your hand to measure items.

Tomorrow we will be moving on to measure length accurately using a ruler to measure in centimeters and millimeters. For the activity you will need a 30cm ruler. If you don’t have one, you can collect one from the school office.

I am looking forwards to our very first live meet today!
See you all at 11am

Miss Lister

See you online!
