Good morning and welcome to Thursday, 

You really have produced some excellent work for mental health week, I know Mrs F was really impressed with yesterday’s artwork!

Today’s work is looking at adding and subtracting mixed numbers. Remember to make sure your denominators are the same before you try to add or subtract. This will make things a lot more straight forwards.

In your English work, today is the day you could follow your recipe. I have already had so many cakes photos sent to me they have all made me very hungry!

TT Rockstars today is a sound check, I look forward to seeing how you have progressed after a lot of practice on this. 

Finally it looks like another lovely day outside so hopefully you can have some time to relax and enjoy it safely!

Good morning,

Thank you so much for all of your amazing photos of your yoga routines yesterday! I am going to set up a gallery with them all in on our class page. If you have any more photos please send them in :)

There was some confusion over the maths, thank you to those of you who let me know :) I have corrected the error and sent the new sheet to your parents in an email.

I am just working my way through all of the amazing videos you made of your story from last week! You have blown me away again! You have shown such confidence in your presentations.

Make sure you enjoy today's mental health week activity and remember to take some time to be kind.

Please find the resources needed for this week's home learning.

Good morning, 

I am very impressed with the hard work you are putting in with your online work this week! Well done, you should all be very proud of yourselves. Please keep this up and doing your best, this will help us be in the best place possible when we go back to school.

On the subject of going back to school, we are get to hear any suggestion about when year 5 will be going back to school. So our online learning looks here to stay for a few more weeks at least. I know you are possibly becoming a bit tired of the same things every week, I am looking at some ways to change things next week to help you through to half term. Thank you for the messages you have sent to me about what you like and what you don't like.

I was thinking for a bit of a challenge today maybe you could write, make, record, paint, colour something showing all of the things you love about our school. I can then share these with the other members of staff who are finding this as lonely as some of you.

Lets focus on the things we love about being at school rather than the things we miss. For example I love playing football at lunchtime with all of my friends, rather than I miss playing football at lunchtime with all of my friends.

I very much look forward to seeing these today :) Be creative everyone, here is your chance to let your light shine!

Good morning, 

An excellent start to the week yesterday! I am very impressed with the MyMaths work you have completed. If you didn't manage to get it finished you can always catch up today :)

Today's prayer

Dear Lord, Thank you for our lives. Help us through he good and bad times. Amen

I would really like some more prayers sending in to me, I have a few children who send them in regularly but I am sure more of you would like to share your thoughts. 

I have spoken to a few children over the last couple of weeks, and I think as time passes the more we miss being at school. So a challenge for you today and for the rest of this week is to reach out. If you are feeling lonely there is a chance someone else in your class is too. Contact someone you haven't spoken to for a while and ask about their day. Talk about the weather, your garden, your pets, silly 10 year old children jokes that I don't understand, all of the things you do in class at EVERY opportunity :) (Teachers know this happens by the way) I know you are such a kind group of children, and will really help eachother at this challenging time!

Good morning and welcome back :)

I hope you had a fantastic long weekend and enjoyed the weather on Friday and Saturday. Hopefully you were able to mark VE Day on Friday in some way at home. Some of you may have been involved in street parties. I have seen some photos of these in the news, they looked like a lot of fun.

This week we will continue our work on an adaptation of Cinderella and in maths move to look at measurement. I have set this week's maths work on MyMaths, I just wanted to offer some variety to you so it will continue to change between worksheets and MyMathsover the coming weeks.

I look forward to seeing your work this week, please remember to send me in completed stories on Friday. I will be able to see your MyMathsonline so there is no need to send that in to me.

Mr Coynehas posted another challenge, I will try and add it to the sport page in wider curriculum when it becomes available.

I am open to running another quiz maybe for adults and children. If you are interested please let me know a topic you would like the questions to be on and I will try my best!

Good morning,

Another excellent day, well done with all of your online learning over the last couple of days I am seeing some excellent results!

I have had a few emails about the maths work this week on multiplication. Please watch the videos carefully, they will help you. If you are still struggling make sure you use other resources. Keep up the hard work I am impressed with how well you are doing!

I am also loving the science work this week. I am looking for ways to add videos to our gallery so hopefully you will see them very soon.

Today's English work moves on to look at your main character and why they are not allowed to attend the event in your story. Be creative with your ideas.

Please keep the photos and creative work coming in!

This week sees the marking of the 75th Anniversary of the end of WWII.

I am sure you all agree this is a very important day in the history of our country. If we were in school it is certainly something we would have worked on this week.

I am going to post a selection of resources, from Twinkl, here to help you learn about VE day. 

Please use them however you wish, all I ask is that at some point this week you take some time to remember the sacrifice of those men, women and children. 

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had fantastic weekends. I have really enjoyed reading some of your work. I am very impressed indeed. You should all be very proud of yourselves.

This week's English looks at the story of Cinderella, we are going to use it to write our own story next week. Have fun listening to or reading the story today.

Maths this week looks at multiplication, this is a recap similar to what we did at school a while ago so I am looking forward to seeing how you get on with this.

Don't forget TT Rockstars and Spelling Frame are there every day too lets see if we can get a full house again today!

Good afternoon please find all of the resources you need for this week's home learning

I have attached this weeks picture news photo and question. 

This week's question: 'Are video games the next best thing to our real lives?'

Good morning everyone, Welcome to May!

I can see you have all had a very busy week! The work you are completing is excellent, but what is more impressive is the extra things you are doing. Please keep sending me the amazing things you are doing to help those around you. Lets show everyone how amazing you all are.

As you can see I have been playing with the class page. There is so much more on here now and I will keep adding to it over the next couple of days. Make sure you have a look in our Wider Curriculum section for weekly sports challenges from Mr Coyne and some work from Mrs D.

Today looks set to be another busy day. English work looks at the setting and the problem. I am sure I will have some interesting work sent through to me today :)

Maths work targets Adding Decimals with Different Number of Decimal Places. This can be tricky. Make sure you watch the video carefully and line up your decimal points when adding your work!

Rules:

*Entries must be in by 12 noon on Friday.

Good morning everyone! I hope you are all well, it doesn't look as nice outside today but that shouldn't mean we can't have a great day!

You have started the week off so well, so much maths work emailed to me yesterday. Keep it coming. Your spelling frame results are getting better and better, well done! More and more of you are joining in with the daily TT Rockstars challenge! I am still waiting for that magical 100% of people to complete the challenge. Come on, talk to your friends let's make this week the week!

Today's prayer: Take a moment and have some time to reflect on these words.

Dear Lord 

Thank you for putting us on earth, let us treat it right.

Amen

Please keep sending in your prayers, if you haven't sent one in make today the day!

I am sure all of you have been keeping up with the news and Captain Tom Moore and his amazing fundraising challenge.

I will be updating you all on Amelia's distances as we go through the week.

Happy Friday everyone! Another week almost over, I cant believe just how quickly they are going! I have been in touch with some of your parents this week and I am really impressed with just how hard you are working. You should all be really proud of yourselves. 

I have also been amazed with the quiz, some of you really do know your flags! Remember you have until 12 today to enter and I will sort out a prize for the winner!

Good morning everyone,

I hope you are enjoying being back working! I made a mistake with the spelling frame and TT Rockstars when I set it, I thought today was the 23rd so it didn't go live at the normal time. It is however working now. So if you tried before 9 and there was nothing there please try again. Thank you for the emails letting me know this had happened it was very helpful.

I can see some of you have made fantastic starts to our geography topic I have already seen maps and models, all of which look amazing! Please keep up the hard work on this, I know its not easy without getting out and about but you are doing great.

I am just going to take this opportunity to remind you to read! I am on my 3rd book now and I am really enjoying spending a bit more time reading than normal. Hopefully you are finding the same thing, I love sitting in the garden reading in this lovely weather.

Today's prayer takes us back to Easter:

Dear Lord, 

Give us time to think about the sacrifice Jesus made for us.

Amen.

I have been looking at what year 6 have been up to and I think we should also do a weekly quiz so on Friday I will send out a quiz to everyone, you will need to answer all the questions and get it back to me by 3:30 to enter the competition.

Good morning, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter break and managed to have some much needed rest and relaxation. We are back now to learning! I emailed all parents yesterday with links to websites for maths and resources for English so please check you have access to this.

White Rose Maths (https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-5/) have created videos to go with questions which I think are really useful for you, please watch the video and answer the questions in your book. I would like you to let me know what you think about this sometime during the week.

I have also attached resources to the home learning resources and links section to this page, please use this to complete this week's home learning.

Today's quote comes from Roald Dahl and I hope it helps you have a positive week, 'If you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely'

Good morning/afternoon, (Sorry it is late, I thought I had pressed save this morning :()

I hope you are all having a great week! Looking at some of the videos and photos I have been sent I am sure you are. Some very impressive things being created and made. I have spent the last couple of days working on a way for me to get some of these cakes and biscuits you keep 'offering' I will let you know in time! I am sure you would hate for me to be missing out :)

The weather looks like it is going to improve over the next couple of days so make sure you get yourself out in your gardens. I challenge you to invent a new game it can be really complicated or simple. Write down the rules and send them in! I look forward to seeing them.

Today's prayer:

Lord,

Let our light shine even at home. Fill us with joy and good spirit. Stay and be with us always.

Amen

And because you know I love a quote.... "A day without laughter, is a day wasted" so smile, laugh and have fun.

Good morning, 

Wow! You guys love a challenge, you are absolutely flying on Spelling Frame, MyMaths and TT Rockstars this week! Keep it up. 

I am still working through all the work I received on Friday! If you have not had your feedback yet it will be there soon I promise! I have already started to have some work from this week sent through to me. Including some amazing baby photos! I am sure we can find somewhere to display these when we get back to school.

Some amazing stories have been sent to me of you showing outstanding kindness and generosity to others in your family and your community. I just wanted to say how proud I am of all of you at this time. Please keep them coming in!

Today's prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, Give us power to encourage others. Let us look up to you and respect you.

Amen.

A little quote that I think sums up exactly what you are all doing at the moment. "Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."

Happy Friday everyone! What a lovely day it is again! I have had a lot more lovely photos of you all outside please keep enjoying yourself (as well as working very hard, of course)

I am looking forward to reading your book reviews and stories today, please send them to me when they are finished :) I need something to read this weekend!

I have had some more prayers sent in to me, so thank you very much and keep them coming.

Today's prayer is: 

Dear God,

Please help us to think about the things we are doing right now. Please guide us to make the right decisions.

Amen.

Many of you may have been involved in or seen the clap for the NHS last night! I was amazed with some of the things I saw, if anyone has any stories of this please let me know. I think at times like this it is really important that we think about these amazing people as well as other people who are helping our country to continue. I know you will be saying thank you in your own way!

Hello everyone!

Another amazing day yesterday, with so much work completed both online and sent in to me! Thank you, it is really nice for me to see what you are up to!

I have been directed to a link to Mr Kirlands YouTube channel where he is doing a daily music video. It is definitely worth a look! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwS9HVNN9Gc&feature=youtu.be

Today we have a birthday!!!! So if we could all sing happy birthday in our own homes at 3:30, I am sure she will hear us! I hope you have a fantastic day!

I have had the first prayer sent to me, (Thank you, keep them coming) please take a moment when you can today. 

"Dear Lord, Please give us strength to defeat, let us celebrate in happy times, and praise you in name. Amen"

Finally I know this is a tough time for everyone, and many of you will now be staying in your homes, but I was reading yesterday and I came across this and thought I would share it with you. “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” I know how creative you all are and I have no doubt you can still enjoy yourselves!

Good morning,

Today is our first day learning and working from home and I am sure it feels very strange for everyone! (including your parents) I am very much looking forward to watching the first Jo Wicks PE lesson this morning (https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1) at 9:00, I hope you are too.

On our class page you will find a selection of daily learning activities and your MyMaths, Spelling Frame and TT Rockstars challenges have gone live this morning (Someone has already started!! Very early start to the day!)

Good luck with your work today, I very much look forward to seeing how well you get on. Remember we said this is our chance to show our parents just how amazing we are! And sometimes if things are hard and we struggle, don't forget ''Mistakes are proof that you are trying''
