Completed Outdoor Art!
The pupils who are still attending school have now completed the artwork on the wall in the playground! Thanks to you all – it looks great! I am sure you will agree that it certainly brightens up that area!
Stiperstones and Wrekin Work Friday 27th March 2020
Good morning! Do you think this lovely weather will last? Check it out here:https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather
So I have prepared some work for you today!
- Again, it is a great idea to start the day with some activity:https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1 Log on at 9am or watch the daily workout at any time after this!
- English – Reading Eggs has work for all pupils in Stiperstones and Wrekin – there is a spelling activity and comprehension for each class. Log onto Reading Eggs to find it!
- Maths – https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zd2f7nb/articles/zn2y7nb This link will take you to Guardians of Mathematica so you can play some maths games – it’s Friday, you’ve worked hard this week so enjoy some games today! Furthermore, visit this website: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/7-11-years/fractions-and-decimals where you will fond games all about fractions and decimals – play at least 3 games (I think you will play more!)- they are suitable for Year 4, 5 and 6.
- Computing – try out Scratch https://scratch.mit.edu/ Wrekin pupils know it well, but for those who have not yet done Coding Club with me, go straight to the tutorials which will give you an excellent series of lessons to follow, or head over to Code Club https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/codeclub/scratch-module-1. Here you will find some excellent mini-lessons – they are easy enough to follow that even I can do them!
There are a lot of ‘screen-based’ activities today – feel free to spend time outside in the sunshine and complete these when it suits you!
I have had some messages from parents who have been very proud of the effort their children have been putting into their work, so keep it up! Well done!
Have a lovely Friday and enjoy the weekend – keep yourselves busy and find time to relax!

Stiperstones and Wrekin Work Thursday 26th March 2020
Good morning Wrekin and Stiperstones pupils!
If you have done some work you are very proud of and would like to share it, please ask your adults to send it into Mrs Winwood via email! She will send it on to me!
I suppose it’s time to get down to work!
- 9am PE Joe Wickes Workout – we did this in school yesterday (at least 2m apart of course!) and it was really enjoyable! https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1
- English – I know that there are not many ‘good news’ stories about at the moment – but here is one! https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/52022945 Australian conservationists have released many rescued Koalas back into the wild following the devastating bush fires. I know pupils in Wrekin class were very interested in the plight of the animals in Australia so it is good to hear some animals are fit and healthy! TASK: Write a newspaper report about the release of the koalas – remember to use a headline, pictures with captions, quotes – you could also set it out in columns!
- Maths – I have delegated each year group separate work today – it is all from White Rose Maths. Watch each video and complete the work in your exercise books – the answers are there too! Make sure you click on the correct lesson!

Creative Work at School
Whilst enjoying the weather, we have decided to brighten up a corner of the playground by using chalks to create a pattern – we used masking tape to create a geometric pattern and coloured each section during the morning!
I am sure that you will agree it looks fantastic!
Advice for Pupils: Newsround – How to be ‘Boss’ Being Stuck at Home!
Newsround – which we use daily at school as a source for news and discussion – has produced a guide to staying at home…and how to do it well!
It is definitely useful for parents AND children!
