In school, we will be holding a minute’s silence to remember the bravery and pay tribute to the NHS workers who have sadly died during the virus pandemic.
We will be holding the silence at 11am, but if you can’t do it then, you could do it with your family later today.

Good morning! It was good to see Boris Johnson back at his desk yesterday – he had a clear message: be patient! You are doing fantastically well, but you may feel like you are fed-up with the restriction on you. As Boris has said, remain patient, continue with your learning and spend time doing things you enjoy within your home with your family!
I know we studied the effect of the wildfires on Australian animals earlier in the school year. You did some excellent writing about it! Newsround has put together a special report about the improvements seen in the wildlife in Australia after the wildfires: https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/52410744 It’s worth a watch – there’s some good news in there!
PLEASE remember this week to read Chapter 1 of the new book on Fiction Express. Year 5 pupils should read The Last Guardian and Year 6s should read Neptune’s Trident. Also, please do the quiz and the vote closes TODAY for what happens in the next chapter! Only 3 of you have read these so far! Please read them this week as they are fab books and Chapter 2 is out on Friday!
TT Rockstars Update: Year 5 are winning by 700 points! Lots of you have been on there – well done! “Trent” is the top Year 5, whilst “Axel” is leading the way for Year 6!
Have a fab day – you are all superstars! Keep up the great work!

We feel that children work best when they have a routine. The Education Endowment Foundation have released a document which might help you plan your day for your child – this will help them keep mentally active, with goals to work towards.
You could print this or even use it as inspiration to create your own!
Hey all! I hope you’ve had a pleasant weekend! We finally got some rain – it was long overdue and we did need it on the gardens! This week will be wetter and cooler than we’ve seen in a while.
I know that you have been trying hard on the White Rose Maths. There were a few tricky questions on the Friday Challenge – we have not covered how to approach some of those later questions! I should have told you that the Friday Challenges are given to all year groups up to Year 10 – so they get tricky rather quickly! If you can get to Challenge 4/5/6, that’s great! I’m sorry if anyone got worried about their maths on Friday.
I have set a Year 5 vs Year 6 battle on TT Rockstars! Who will win? It opens today until Friday – I will reveal the results next week!
So onto today’s work!
Did anyone watch Primate on BBC last night? It was quite remarkable! There were some amazing, and some quite strange, primate behaviours going on! It’s worth catching up on iPlayer.
Have a great day – it seems strange I won’t be seeing you – as I would usually be preparing you for SATs tests this week, but keep you heads held high and put your efforts into your work and enjoying your family time!
Mr F
One skill that you could develop over the next few weeks is typing!
You may be able to really speed up your typing and get more accurate in just a few sessions on BBC Dance Mat Typing!
There are 4 levels to work through, each of which contains lessons to move you from the easier key to the more tricky ones. By the end of Level 4 (and with extra practice) you should be able to touch type confidently!
Even your grown-ups might enjoy it!
Please find attached a lovely e-book which may help you talk to you children about Coronavirus. It is beautifully presented and very informative – the illustrations are by the famous and brilliant Axel Scheffler.
As a school, we subscribe to a fantastic learning resource called espresso. It is an online library of videos, activities, ideas and news all for pupils and teachers to use to enhance their learning.
Pupils have home access to espresso via the username and password provided previously.
We would recommend that you use espresso as part of your daily home learning routine to watch the ’60 Second News’, News Bites and the Daily Challenge.
As well as that, there are literally thousands of activities available, as well as ‘espresso Coding’, which is accessible to all age groups and guides them through how to programme and code.
You can subscribe to their social media feeds by clicking on the links on the website (it’s at the bottom of the page)

Good morning! It’s Friday! I do hope you have had a good week. The weather has been excellent this week, but it is going to be more cloudy and cooler next week – so make the most of today and the weekend!
Have any of you been growing anything in the garden? I’d love to see it!
Your work today will follow the same structure as the rest of the week:
Have a great day and weekend!
Mr F
Good morning – I hope all is well! It’s going to be pretty hot today! Maybe you could enjoy your Fiction Express work outside with a nice cold juice and an ice-lolly!
Have a fab day, Mr F
Good morning – it’s a wonderful Wednesday out there!
Have you been able to use your mobile device/tablet to do Joe Wicks outside yet? Today might be a good chance to do that!
Here are some activities to keep you busy and learning (remember to use your exercise books to write your sentences and science work up!):
Have a good day! I am in school this week with some pupils whose parents are key workers – it is quite quiet, but we are all keeping busy!
