Ready to learn.

Good morning again 3P!

Another day of home learning is set up and ready to go. Start your day by checking in your feelings through the classroom – please do this as it is important that we stay in touch during school hours. Try to do this by 9.30am if you can. (Remember that you MUST use your school email address to login through the website.)

After this, get your day warmed up with the Joe Wicks home PE session. This should get your body and brain ready for the learning tasks in the classroom. Remember that you may need to click on ‘view assignment’ to see some of the tasks and then when you have finished click on ‘hand in’ so that I can give you feedback on your learning.

When you have completed all of the tasks for today, you can always go back and do tasks you missed yesterday. There is also the chance to get on TTRockstars and ReadTheory. Why not even read a book you may have at home?

Finally, if you do any other examples of learning at home that you would love to share, take pictures and send them to me. I can share some examples on this blog!

Have a great day!

Great start!

Well done to everyone who has checked in and completed learning online today – it was great to speak with you!

We have had some fabulous learning done and I just want to shout out a few examples. There was some great maths work from Zeynep and Alfie (amongst many others!), Bradley, Esther and Troy did some great work on solids, liquids and gases and James and Jamilia did some great Spag work.

We will get better at using the online resources as each day goes by – I have learnt loads in just one day as well!

Remember to log in every day and at least complete the feelings check-in so that I know you have popped in. This is really important and is expected from everyone. I will respond and feedback on your learning or comments during the normal working hours of school.

Try to stay indoors and safe – this is not an extra long school holiday! Keep washing hands and looking after each other with lots of acts of kindness. See you all tomorrow.

Good morning! (Monday 23rd )

Good morning 3P.

I’m looking forward to seeing examples of your learning from home today on Google Classroom. Remember to log in (with your school email log in details only!)and complete the feelings check in before you do anything else. When you have completed any assignments remember to click on ‘hand in’ so that I can see what you have done.

I want to give a shout out to Troy for doing some great research on Maya gods and also solved problems for length and perimeter. Keep going!

Remember to critique your day when you have completed your learning.

Have a good day and keep washing your hands!

Google Classroom Pupil Guide

Google Classroom is an exciting piece of software that allows us place learning online!

In order to help the children access this easily, Mrs Graves has prepared a document that will help the children get on to Google Classsroom!

Pupil Step-by-step Guide to Accessing Google Classroom from Home

 

Home Learning

During these unusual times, we have created a range of learning opportunities for your child to still be able to continue their learning at home on Google Classroom. They have been shown how to log in. Pupil-Step-by-step-Guide-to-Accessing-Google-Classroom-from-Home-

Every day, please encourage your child to complete the feelings ‘check-in’ survey. There are also some activities that have been placed in to each day for your child to have a go at. There are others they can have a go at once they have done the required tasks. Learning can be submitted online and you can even upload any photographs of learning you have done for me to have a look at.

Remember to also log on daily to TTRockstars and ReadTheory to keep practising these essential skills during the school closure. Also remember that the closure simply means that we have to learn from home instead – it isn’t an extra holiday! Take the chance to do some school learning but also learn useful skills around the house. Send pictures of new skills you have been learning.

Learning can happen anywhere!

A big ‘thank you’

Tracy, our cleaner, would like to say a big Thank You to all the children in years 3, 4, 5 and 6, for how much they have looked after the toilets this last week. She is so proud of you all and you have really helped to make her job less difficult.

Well done, I am really proud of you to and want to send a special Thank You to our volunteers who have been keeping an eye out at beak and lunchtime.

Mrs Graves

World Book Day.

There has been a brilliant response to the option to dress up as book characters today – all of the children looked amazing! Thank you for supporting the event in this way. There were even some brilliantly decorated potatoes!

Every child has taken home a World Book Day voucher. Please take the time to take your child to a relevant book shop to exchange their voucher for a FREE book or for a discount on a full priced one. Also, remember to encourage your child to practice their reading and comprehension through the Read Theory website (www.readtheory.org). They all have their login details in their reading records. Remember to record all of the reading that your child does in that book.

Busy Week for Year 3 and 4

We have had a busy week this week in Year 3 and 4. On Tuesday afternoon, we held our first Parent’s Information / Family Learning Event. It was well attended and we had the opportunity to share how to support children with times tables and reading at home. Parents then got the chance to try a few activities for themselves with their children.

We have been busily working on completing our High Energy Expedition work all week, which is now with the Graphic Designer, Rick. We look forward to seeing what our amazing Chocolate Information Boards are going to look like.

Finally, we had NSPCC Number Day on Friday, when we came to school dressed in a number and had a day of maths investigations and learnt some important messages about staying safe.

NSPCC

As part of raising awareness of the NSPCC, today we have used our learning time to explore numbers in different ways. We used place value to solve a chocolate mystery and tried to work out who had stolen the secret chocolate bar plans! We also played times table games, including on Rockstars, where the children enjoyed the chance to get competitive. So many children have said that they hadn’t realised how fun playing Rockstars is and that have promised to try and log on at home more often. Please help your child to do this!

 

Family Learning Event

Just a quick reminder that it is the Y3 and Y4’s Family Learning Event on Tuesday 4th February. We will begin at 1.45. You’ll get the opportunity to find out about Reading and Maths in LSK2 and be able to spend time with your child having a go at some reading and maths activities.

We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

Enjoy the weekend!
