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!

Mr F

Good morning and I hope you had a happy Easter (I got a fantastic Maltesers egg; I was very happy!) I hope you managed to have a little chocolate too…

We will continue using online resources to help you continue to learn and keep busy over the next few weeks. We will be using some of the same resources, but we have also found some new one, which will be interesting.

• Start the Summer Term with Joe Wicks!  https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1
• I will be posting Maths each day from White Rose – it seems to be the best resource available as it explains the concepts really well! There is a Year 5 and a Year 6 lesson (SUMMER TERM!) in the link below (click on Lesson 1 only – you will do the rest throughout the week!)  https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-5/ or https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-6/
• BBC Bitesize are complimenting the White Rose Work and have a daily Maths lesson here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p089ny58/bitesize-911-year-olds-maths-1-lesson-1
• English work will be a poem today. I have been completely inspired by Captain Tom Moore, who has raised over £23 million for the NHS. He is 99 and has been sponsored walking up and down his garden! What a hero! Click here for more info: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-52333127 Write a poem that shows what a wonderful man he is – it could be an acrostic or rhyming….it’s up to you! Please send them into Mrs Winwood, who will pass them on!

Have a fantastic day! The weather will be good too, so remember to get outside (safely) and get some fresh spring air.

Mr F

Good morning – it’s the last day of term today! That means that I would ordinarily choose the Star of the Half Term…and the winner is…all of you! It has been a really tough and unsettling time, but I have spoken to some of your parents and seen that you are completing some work online and in your exercise books, so thank you and well done!

Today, here are some activities:

• 9am Joe Wicks (but you can catch up all day!)
• English – Chester Zoo are hosting some live ‘zoo tours’ today, focussing on different animal enclosures throughout the day https://www.youtube.com/user/OfficialChesterZoo They did the same last week, and they were very informative. Watch one of your choice (the timetable is here:https://www.chesterzoo.org/virtual-zoo/) Then write a guide to one of the animals – remember to send it in to Mrs Winwood!
• Maths – Today, I would like you to look at percentages – use White Rose Maths to Year 5 Week 2, Lessons 3 and 4 https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-5/
• Art – We can’t get out and about at them moment, so I think it would be nice to do some artwork related to a landmark we love! Pick your favourite landmark from around the world, use the internet to find a picture of it and use these tips to draw a wonderful picture: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zdsb9j6

Enjoy your Easter holiday with your families, best wishes, Mr Field

Good morning Wrekin Class!

I have been into school during the last couple of days – it is very quiet, as you would expect! Belinda is still in cooking those tasty dinners though! If any of you would like to, you could send her a letter or picture – she would love to hear from you!

• Joe Wicks is still at it! https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1 My children have been doing this each day at home – they have even been recording their own fitness workout videos- could you do the same?
• English – Education City still seems a bit glitchy when I have seen pupils working on it in school, so I will set another comprehension and spelling lesson todayhttps://readingeggspress.co.uk/ – KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Lots of you are working hard on your work; it makes me very proud!
• Maths – I haven’t set online work today – but I would like you to undertake a fun, practical activity which might help you think about happy times! I want you to plan what you would take on a holiday! Use the internet or a brochure you have at home to plan at least 10 items you might take away on a holiday (choose, camping, beach, city or even a polar break!). Remember – you will need good luggage, some clothes, toys and maybe even a new ipod! Write down the prices in your exercise books, and add them up! What if you get a 10% discount? How much will it cost then? What about 25% off?
• PSHE – I have found this videohttps://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zjypyrd which is about two boys who were best friends, but one moved away and the importance of keeping in touch – some of you might feel that you are missing friends. Could you write a message to a friend who you are missing to say what you have been up to? You could ask your parents/carers to send it on electronically or by post. Draft a letter in your exercise book, so even if you don’t send it, you can still write down what you want to say to that special friend. Remember to stay safe online if you are sending emails and get your parents’ permission!
