Cupcakes

In the spirit of “waste not want not,” KS2 Hub made some little cupcakes this afternoon. Given all the running around we did whilst playing cricket, these were well-earned!

KS2 have been out in the sunshine finding interesting shapes. We have been using “Markup” to create line drawings on top of the photos.

Y4 Home Learning

Hi Year 4 children and parents,

Mr Jackson and I have begun to set work on Purple Mash for you to start to complete as and when.

Suggested ideas for this week:

  • Read to yourself or an adult and record in your reading diary.
  • Practise your times tables. This could be by singing some of the songs, going on Super Movers or going on Times Table Rockstars
  • Complete writing-based tasks on Purple Mash/ or use Pobble365 for some inspiration
  • Make a branching data base on purple mash
  • Take part on Joe Wicks’ Daily PE lessons on YouTube

Life skills activities:

  • cooking (whilst supervised by an adult)
  • Practising telling the time
  • Practising tying shoes laces (if you haven’t quite mastered this already)

A bit of fun:

  • Dance to the Danger Mouse Supermovers dance
  • Watch one of your parent’s favourite cartoons/TV shows as a child on YouTube. For children in my class, it could be that you watch an episode of Brum as I know how much you love that show! It’s one of my favourites from childhood! Another favourite of mine was The Racoons.

Please note that these are just suggestions. Please remember to look at the information sheet we provided for other ideas to support your learning.

One last thing- if you’d like to post pictures to our homework blog of your child cooking, helping you with jobs, completing work or just simply enjoying themselves, we’d love to see them!

Keep well and keep safe,

Miss Macfarlane and Mr Jackson

Free PE workouts from home

Join me every day next week for a home workout 😀
Starting Monday 23rd March I’m going to be hosting a free workout aimed at kids LIVE on my YouTube channel.

With the schools closed and with us all spending more time at home, it’s more important than ever that we keep moving and stay healthy and positive.

Exercise is an amazing tool to help us feel happier, more energised, and more optimistic.

The workouts will be fun and suitable for all ages and even adults can get involved.

You don’t need any equipment, just tune in to my YouTube channel at 9am each morning for a 30-minute, fun workout.

One more thing! I really need your help to spread this message. So please please share this with everyone that might like to get involved, and together we can help keep the nation moving 🙏🏻

You can subscribe to my YouTube channel at the button below.

Lots of love, Joe x

More information for key workers

Dear Parents / Carers,

 

We are still awaiting the list of who qualifies as a key worker. Thank you to all of those families who have returned their forms already.

We are now required to ask you what your partners job is, as we are being led to believe that in order to qualify for a school place, BOTH parents need to be in Key Worker professions. Please note that we may require evidence of the role you play and how that fits the description of a Key Worker.

 

Please could you return this information to school as soon as possible, if you have not already done so, to help us to continue to plan.

 

Thank you for your support
