Mr Field

Good morning – it is the end of another week – we have four weeks of term left. Although it has been a long time since I’ve seen some of you (around 3 months), does it feel to you that in some ways time has gone quickly? I think that for those of you in regular routines and those completing your school work each day, the day might go a little bit quicker. What do you think?

Friday Work:

Mr F

Good morning!

Some Year 6 pupils will be in class today – but I will continue to set your work online to keep your learning flowing!

I know that not all pupils are not coming in, but I hope that you and your parents have discussed the reasons why – it is a very unsure time at the moment, and the most important thing is children’s and families’ safety and happiness.

Hello again Wrekin Class!

I am excited about the football restarting tonight! As you know, I really do love football and I know some of you do too. With football restarting it feels like some things are moving back towards ‘normality’ (even though there will be a new normal in the future!) What are you looking forward to returning or changing?

Furthermore, I know that some of you are returning to school during the next week. As I have said before, it is very different; the tables and chairs are spaced apart, lots of furniture has been removed to make space, the teachers have an area at the front of the class which is marked out and you have to line up 2m apart. I am sure that you will get used to it, but it is worth thinking about now. For those not returning, the school work will still be on the website and I will be in contact with you!

Some work for Wednesday: (the Y5 video won’t show on this page for some reason today but will open on another tab- sorry!)

Good morning!

It was lovely to see some classrooms with children in last week when several Reception pupils returned. Year 1 pupils are welcomed back today! Later in the week, I am really looking forward to seeing some of the Year 6s!

The classroom is very different: there is less furniture, nothing out on the tables, the desks are spaced 2m apart and there are some markings on the floor. I have been thinking about your transition to Year 7 – so please start thinking about questions you want to ask and any worries you might have!
