Today Haughmond had a fantastic morning! Simon Airey, the Animal Man, came to visit us to teach us more about our Science topic. We had a brilliant time seeing and handling lots animals from different animal groups and learning facts about them.

Stiperstones online learning – Tuesday 5th January 2020
Hi Stiperstones class,
Happy new year!
I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas break.
For today, until you have passwords to access your learning in real time via teams, I will upload work to this class page, as we did during the last lockdown, so that you can do the work from there.
English
For English, I am going to ask you to write a diary entry about your Christmas holidays. This is what we would have been doing in class today.
You can either choose a single day to write about, or write about a few days. Either way, make sure you include lots of detail, including expanded noun phrases to describe (with commas between adjectives (e.g. the giant, beautiful, green tree) and adverbs to describe verbs (e.g. I woke excitedly).
Remember to focus on your handwriting, ensuring you write joined and as neatly as possible. Also, think about your basic punctuation – this needs tightening up!
Remember full stops to end each sentence and capital letters to start each new sentence and for names of people or places (proper nouns).
Maths
In maths we were going to be multiplying and dividing by 6.
Here is a video to follow so that you can still do the same learning.
Here is the maths worksheet that corresponds with the video –
Multiply and divide by 6 work sheet
You will need to have this to work on at the same time as playing the video. The video will tell you when to pause the video and complete each part of the sheet. If you can not print the sheet, do not worry! You can write your answers on paper or in a work book.
Reading Comprehension
For reading comprehension, please read the text and then answer the questions in full sentences.

P.E
As we were not in school on Monday and this meant that P.E was missed, please follow this Joe Wicks exercise video as our first P.E session this week.

R.E
For R.E, please can you create a mind map of everything that you think of when you think of the word ‘God’. There are no right or wrong answers and all ideas are valid. You can even draw a picture in the middle of what you envision that a ‘God’ may look like.
Remember everyone, you will also need to be accessing Times Tables Rockstars throughout lockdown and will also need to be reading for at least 15 minutes a day to an adult.
Additionally, I will upload your Spellings onto the Stiperstones spelling page on this website each Thursday like usual.
Keep up the hard work and feel free to email Mrs Winwood on her admin email address if you have any questions for me or if you would like to show me any of your fabulous work.
Stay safe Stiperstones!
Miss L-J

Helping Parents and Carers Talk to Children About Mental Health
We think that good mental wellbeing is really important.
We teach our pupils about mental health through PSHE, class discussions and special days when we focus on an aspect of mental health.
Here is a document which will help you talk about mental health with your children.
There are top tips and contact numbers for some relevant agencies.

Welcome back Haughmond!
It is lovely to see you all back at school. I’m looking forward to getting back to lots of fun activities!
This term our main topic is going to be History based, and we are going to be travelling back in time to the first 20 years of the 20th Century. We will begin by learning about the Titanic disaster, before moving on to learn about WW1. We will find out about a number of important people who helped with the war effort, but are perhaps not the most well-known. In other areas of learning we will also be exploring the weather, materials, Hinduism and religious festivals. In Computing, we will begin the term by learning about the importance of staying safe when using technological devices and in music we will be learning about and responding to some famous pieces of music, starting with Mars by Gustav Holst. In Art we will be learning about the work of Georgia O’Keeffe, which will link to our learning about Poppies and after half term we will be making bridges for the characters in our English book for our DT learning.
In English our main texts will be Troll Swap and The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark. There will be a Guided Reading session for the class every day, focusing on the books The Troll by Julia Donaldson and Above and Below by Patricia Hegarty. Individual reading books will only be swapped by a member of staff in Haughmond. All the books will be left for a period of at least 72 hours before they are given out to another child. We will continue to have weekly spelling tests, but for the time being spellings will be online rather than coming home in a book. Homework will also be set online each Friday, using some of the sites children became familiar with when school was closed.
In Maths we are continuing with our Mastery Approach to our learning and will be starting this term by ensuring we have a really good understanding of Number and Place Value before moving on to calculations. We will also be practising our times tables and number bonds each week so that we can secure these facts and use them to base our other learning on.
P.E. will be with Shrewsbury Town in the Community and will be on a Monday morning and a Thursday afternoon, starting the week of the 7th September. Children need to come into school in their P.E. kit on those days please.
As always, my door is open for any queries you may have, albeit metaphorically this term! However, if you would like to get in touch with me, please don’t hesitate to give Mrs Winwood a call in the school office to organise this.
I look forward to working with you and your children.
Mrs Gregory.
School Re-opening Risk Assessment
We are looking forward to welcoming back all of the pupils to school on Wednesday 2nd September.
To help you feel more confident about your children returning to school, we have published our Risk Assessment to demonstrate the enhanced health and safety measures we have taken. We will continue to monitor this continually and will update the document accordingly.
