Year 6 – Monday 8th June learning

/0 Comments/in /by

For this week, your afternoon learning will focus on wellbeing as we have had lots of feedback to say that this is an area you would like more activities on.

Each day will focus on a different aspect of wellbeing:

Monday – Give (all about kindness, friendship, caring, generosity and giving)

Tuesday – Be Active (all about enthusiasm, energy and confidence)

Wednesday – Connect (all about communication, teamwork, co-operation and togetherness)

Thursday – Take Notice (all about listening, observing and reflecting)

Friday – Keep Learning (all about curiosity and gaining new skills)

Pope Paul Biking Challenge

We are also setting a Pope Paul Challenge this week, in line with the wellbeing theme.

We want you to get on your bike and take part in a Pope Paul challenge! This week, try and get out and cycle as much as possible to help us reach our goal of completing a virtual cycle from John O’Groats to Lands End. At the end of the week, send me the total number of miles you cycled and we will add them together. Our target is to complete the full 874 mile journey as a school.

WALT: Use contractions 

Find and match the contraction pairs in the table below.Read the short passage below. Find all the pairs of words that could be made into contractions (e.g. can not = can’t) and rewrite this passage with the contractions.Remember to put the apostrophe in the correct place!

If you go into the Wild Wood, you should not forget to take a map. Do not leave the path, as it is very easy to get lost if you do. You will need to take a snack too – not for you to eat, but to give to the hungry creatures you will encounter on your journey. I have known the fairy folk who live in the wood to eat ten sandwiches each – and they are only 50 centimetres high! And once a traveller told me she had found an ogre daintily eating a plastic lunch box. I hope he did not get indigestion!

Welcome Back to Year 1

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Dear Children,

We are really looking forward to welcoming you back to Year 1

There are a few things we all need to do, to keep you all safe:

Entering the Classroom

When you come into the Reception/KS1 playground, you will need to find a marker for you and your parent to stand on. Mrs Shea or I will then call you one at a time to come and join us in the classroom.

You won’t need to bring your bag in for now, as sadly, we won’t be able to change your reading books. You will need to bring in your named water bottle and a piece of fruit for snack time; you can put these straight into your box with your name on. If you are bringing in your own packed lunch, you can put it on your table.

Inside the classroom

At first, it may look a little bit different to what you are used to, but hopefully not too much! Some of your toys and resources we use have been put away for now. This is so that we can keep your classroom lovely and clean throughout the day. You will also have some new rules that Mrs Shea and I will share with you once we are altogether; these will help to keep us all safe and look after each other.

 

 

When we are on the carpet together, you will be given a spot to sit on…how exciting!

Snack

Please bring in a water bottle and a piece of fruit (peeled/ cut already) for snacktime together.

Lunchtime

At lunchtime, you will be eating your lunch with your friends, Mrs Shea and I, in your classroom; if the weather’s nice, we will go outside for a picnic lunch.

Washing hands

Just like before, we will be washing our hands frequently throughout the day. Can you remember the song that we sing when we are washing our hands?

Going home

When it’s time to go home, your parent will be waiting next to a marker for you. We will then call you one at a time and you will leave the school premises by walking through the big, blue gate next to our classroom.

Mrs Shea and I are very excited to see you and can’t wait to hear your stories.

See you next week!

Mrs Carey

 

Welcome Back to Reception

Dear Children,

We are really looking forward to welcoming you back to Reception.

There are a few things we all need to do, to keep you all safe:

Entering the Classroom

When you come into the Reception/KS1 playground, you will need to find a marker for you and your parent to stand on. Mrs Gymer or I will then call you one at a time to come and join us in the classroom.

You won’t need to bring your book bag in for now, as sadly, we won’t be able to change your reading books. You will need to bring in your named water bottle and a piece of fruit for snack time; you can put these straight into your box with your photograph on.

We have moved these close to the door to make things a little easier for you. If you are bringing in your own packed lunch, there is also a new place to put your lunchbox on.

Instead of putting your name stone in the basket to let us know that you are here, you will have to find your new name card and turn it over to reveal your photograph!

Inside the classroom

At first it may look a little bit different to what you are used to, but hopefully not too much! Some of your toys and other things have been put away for now. This is so that we can keep your classroom lovely and clean throughout the day.

When we are on the carpet together, you will be given a spot to sit on…how exciting!

Snack

We won’t be able to use the Snack Station for now; please bring in a water bottle and a piece of fruit (peeled/ cut already) for snacktime together.

Good afternoon, Year 5.

 

It has been wonderful to receive updates from you this week to see what you have been up to. Take a look at some of the pictures I have been sent:

Heather and Jamie have been completing the learning on the curriculum blog.

These are just a few of the patterns and shapes Finley found around his house.

Aisling created Pentecost art on the computer and with card. I love the 3D effect.

Emilia has thought carefully about her school uniform design.

Bella has created a fantastic Pentecost symbol and has begun her jar of hope.

 

Well done on another week of home learning, Year 5. You are all trying so hard and I am proud of you all. I have spoken to some of you by phone this week which was wonderful. If you haven’t heard from me, you will do by the end of next week as I make my way through the register.

 

Have a wonderful weekend

Morning Prayer

Find a quiet place to sit ….
This is another day, O Lord.

I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be.

If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus.

Amen.

Religion – Remembering St Paul VI our School patron

The 29thMay has been dedicated to remembering St Paul VI, the patron of our school. He became a Saint on 14th October 2018. To launch our R.E. home learning this week, we will focus St Paul VI and his work  spreading the Gospel of Christ; he was a prophet of our Church facing outwards, looking to those far away and caring for the poor.

Saint Paul VI believed that we should work to serve the poor and the hungry.  Click on the link below to look at the work of CAFOD – the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development. Take part in their jar of hope activity.

Say this prayer from the Cafod Website

Your loving care

Lord Jesus,

when you walked with us on earth

you spread your healing power.

We place in your loving care

all who are affected by Coronavirus.

Keep us strong in faith, hope and love

Bring relief to our sick,

console our bereaved,

protect those who care for us.

We lift our prayer to you Lord,

and trust in your infinite mercy,

as we wait for the daybreak.

Amen.
