Previously you have learnt about pronouns so please try to include these in this project to avoid using the same noun in our writing.

Here’s an example to get you started:

WALT learning to sketch a cherry blossom.

 

 The cherry blossom trees looks beautiful at the moment so I thought you might enjoy learning how to draw them – maybe you could draw them on cards to send to friends and family.

Using this tutorial please sketch and shade a picture of a cherry blossom – using coloured pencils if possible in order to blend colours.

Start the video at 1 min 30 secs (if at school an adult will need to play and pause the video for you on the classroom board).

Maks also finished this amazing cross showing why Good Friday is ‘good’.

Alex completed the April Fools Maths Challenge and wrote this fantastic answer:

Taanya has sent me last week’s art learning:

Well done to everybody for – children and parents alike – for adapting to the changes this past fortnight and for embracing the new style of learning. I have so enjoyed receiving emails of what you’ve been doing/making/learning, so thank you for those. Enjoy the next couple of weeks, and I’ll have a fresh set of lessons waiting for you on Monday 20th April.

Love and God bless,

Miss Donatantonio

Holy Week Quiz for FRHC. Primary School (Key Stage 2).FK.01.04.2020

Holy Week Quiz Younger Children (Key stage 1).Fk.01.04.20

Message from Francesca Khaliq at Our Lady and St Vincent Church

Dear families,

I hope you are all keeping safe and well during this unsettling time.

As it is Holy Week next week I am attaching some quizzes for the children to do, there is one for key Stage 1 (reception to Year 2) and Key Stage 2 (Year 3 to Year 6). Entries will need to be sent back to Deacon Axcel by Tuesday 14th April at  pbalpha@rcdow.org.uk, so just put the answers into an email, or you can print the quiz and fill it in and post them to the parish, whatever is easier for you. Axcel will put all the names into a hat and pick a winner, the prize is a £20 voucher, so worth having a go, please encourage them to take part; the answers will be emailed out when the winner is announced.  There is a quiz for older children in secondary school (Key Stage 3), you can request this quiz by emailing pbalpha@rcdow.org.uk and Deacon Axcel will email it to you, there are £20 gift vouchers for the winner of each of the three quizzes.

It is wonderful that we have the capability of live streaming (remember you can access our live streaming by logging on to our website olasv.org.uk and clicking on live streaming link) but sad to see the benches empty without all our wonderful parishioners. So we would like you all to send a photo of your family so Fr Shaun and Deacon Axcel can print them out and stick them on the benches in church, so we are all there together. So please take a family photo and email it to pbalpha@rcdow.org.uk

I have prepared a Children’s Liturgy for the children to do on Good Friday at home, all the information has been emailed to parents via schoolcomms, there is a run through and 3 attachments for the liturgy, have a read through and see if you can spend some time with the children to do this on Good Friday. Please don’t feel obliged to do it all if you can’t or if you don’t have the resources but have a look before Friday to see if you can get anything ready in advance, you will just need access to a laptop/IPad or mobile to watch the videos and access the music.

I pray that you and your families keep safe and well during this time.

God bless

Year 6 – Friday 3rd April learning

/0 Comments/in /by

We have come to the end of another week of home learning, and indeed, the end of another term. I wish you all a happy and faith-filled couple of weeks, in which you continue to stay safe whilst remembering the significant events of Holy Week and the Easter weekend. Please see Mrs Heymoz’s newsletter about the whole-school RE home learning (I’ll put the instructions up on Monday as a reminder).

Yesterday, Evie sent me this photo. It’s of a pillbox from WW2, and you can find it in the golf course. It’s so well preserved and is a really interesting piece of history on our doorstep. Soldiers during the war would have hidden inside and used it as a lookout post to check for Germans invading. There’s another pillbox lurking in the golf course – send me a photo if you find it!

Matthew has shared his beautiful RE learning, reflecting on the painting of Jesus’ crucifixion. Thank you, Matthew.

Until then, here is your learning for today:

PE Stay fit and healthy by checking in with The Body Coach each morning at 9.00 at  https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1
Prayer Visit https://cafod.org.uk/Pray/Lent-Calendar and reflect on today’s Bible verse and message.
Spelling Ask a family member to dictate the following passage to you, writing it into your handwriting book. Remember to think about correct punctuation, as well as spelling. Words in bold and underlined are this week’s spelling words, whilst those just in bold are words from previous weeks’ spelling lists.

 

After the resignation of the current manager, the chairman of Padley United couldn’t sacrifice any time to assign a replacement: the team were ten points adrift at the bottom of the table. The club’s designated spokesperson has stated, “Relegation from the First Division would signify the end of an era for the club. Any potential manager that agreed to put his signature on the dotted line would need to accomplish a miracle to keep United in the league. Even the players had resigned themselves to their fate. The club were hoping to persuade superstar manager, Jose Gonzalez, to take over and design a new team that could turn things around. It didn’t matter if he didn’t speak the language, that the players may not understand his Spanish pronunciation or that he was demanding a huge wage. Those things would all be insignificant if he could keep Padley United in the First Division.

Good morning, Year 5. We have now reached the end of the Spring term. Well done for all of your efforts over the past two weeks. I will not be posting daily learning during Easter break, but I do have some suggestions for things you could do with your time as you will have to remain at home. Firstly, it is important that you still do something active everyday. This could be any Joe Wicks workout, or maybe you could try a dance class on Oti Mabuse’s YouTube channel. Make sure you still read everyday. If you don’t have any books at home, listen to an audio book. They are currently free on https://stories.audible.com/start-listen.

You could do some maths. On the white rose website, they have maths lessons that you can watch and then complete: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/

 

There is also an Easter RE activity for the whole school. Find the information here:Whole School Easter Project April2020

 

Today’s learning can be found here: 3rd April

 

Today at 10am, there is an end of term mass at for all Catholic schools in the area. Please watch online through the OLSV live stream.

 

Have a wonderful Easter

 

Mrs Lines
