Thursday 23rd April

Good Morning,

It has been great seeing so many of you back online and submitting work. I hope you are starting to get more curious about our new expedition ‘Why are the Tudors important?’ and you are wanting to find out more.

Whilst it has been great to see how dedicated you have been to completing your work, please remember it is designed to be done during the day when you would normally be in school. I realise you might be sharing computers and tablets, but you really shouldn’t be doing the work at night or over the weekend, you need time off too. I do not expect you to be spending all of your time doing school work. As a guide, you should spend approximately an hour of maths, an hour of English and an hour of expedition/curriculum learning (including art, PE and expedition work.). All work on classroom has a hand-in date and time -use that as a guide as to when to get your work finished by.

Have you seen the front page news? Craig-Junior in year 5 brought his English learning to life by writing a letter to Sir David Attenborough, one of his heroes, and would you believe it, he got a hand-written letter back from Sir David. It just goes to show the power of the pen! I wonder who you would write a letter to and what you would include? Why don’t you give it a go? Let me know how you get on.

Finally, please send me a message if you (or you mum or dad) are finding your work tricky, I might not be able to answer immediately, but I will get back to you to help. Please, please, please do not struggle. You could also use the stream on classroom to ask your friends if someone can coach you through a question. I am impressed at how well your google docs and slides skills are improving – I have also learnt so much over the last few weeks!

Have a great day and complete the feelings chart.

Take Care

Mrs Graves
