Home learning reminder…

by

Hello everyone,

I hope you are well!

Just a reminder that this week’s work includes x20 mins per day on IXL – looking at the data type questions. I can see already a good number of you haven’t yet started this. Please do not leave it until later in the week – a little bit each day is the best way. Please see the slides below on home learning for more details.

I will be monitoring this all week.

Please also don’t forget to add to the class blog at some point this week.

Thank you!

Emotional health and mental well-being…

by

Hello everyone.

I just want to point you in the direction of a new set of resources on our ‘Learning’ tab dropdown on the website.

If you click on it, you will find a range of resources and documents that contain some useful advice: especially if your children are struggling somewhat during the lockdown.

Please take a moment to have a look at the resources – particularly the information on World Mental Health Awareness Day.

Don’t forget, if we can help – we will do our best. There is usually someone here at school you can talk to.

Best wishes to you all on behalf of all the staff here at St Mary’s.

Mymaths extra task – bar model home learning

by

Hello everyone!

Just an additional task that might help you with this week’s fractions – comparing mixed numbers.

I have set a mymaths lesson and homework TODAY that will last until Saturday.

Please make sure you give it a go and remember to check out.

The lesson is ‘Comparing Mixed and Improper Fractions’

I will be monitoring this closely. Remember to try and aim for 80% score or better.

Thanks and stay safe.

Music box reading answers

by

Hi everyone – I hope you and your families are doing well!

Here’s the link for the MUSIC BOX reading answers: DOWNLOAD

I really hope you are coping with the ‘lockdown’. At least the sun is shining eh?

Don’t forget that the No.1 thing you can do to keep your brain active is to READ. Use this time to really get into a great book.  You could even download or stream an audio book by visiting https://stories.audible.com/start-listen They are totally free during lockdown and there is a good selection of ‘elementary’ reads on there.

Keep an eye out for home-learning to appear here again on 20th April.

Until then, I hope you have a safe, happy Easter. You are in my thoughts. Mrs Roberts also sends her love.

Purple mash info and Pobble info…

by

Hi everyone. I hope you are well!

It appears that this week’s purple mash 2DO based on databases is unclear, so I have deleted that task and replaced it with lots of coding activities, which you should try to do in order, building up from the traffic lights (Gibbon) task through to the 2GO task (Gorilla). Try your best and remember to watch and listen to tutorials if needed. You can try these coding tasks over the next few days.

Also, the writing task is from POBBLE365.COM   – type this into your address bar to search for today’s writing tasks.

Thank you and take care!

Hello!

Because we’ve had a very busy week with tests (and more tests!) and in honour of ‘child mental health week’ I thought that I would give you a weekend off homework – more or less!

So please, all I ask is:

  1. You complete your usual required amount of reading by Sunday.
  2. You prepare for a Spring Term ‘Grand Spell’ groups 1 – 5

And that’s it! Unless of course you have the urge to use IXL, MYMATHS or your CGP revision books for SATs.

Have a great weekend! Oh – and please remind your parents that it is parents’ evening on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.

Christmas is nearly here!

by

Ho!Ho!Ho!

First – a massive THANK YOU to everyone for their kind Christmas messages, cards and gifts – too much!! I am very grateful!

Secondly – and this is the bit you’ll like – the only thing I’d like you to do regarding homework is to keep up the reading over Christmas. I think x6 reads recorded should do it as a minimum.

Wishing you all and your families a joyful, peaceful Christmas.

See you on Tuesday, 7th January 2020!
