Good Morning Blue Class,
You have woken up to another lockdown when many of you will not be in school for half a term. Some of you will be excited but some of you will be filled with dread. We understand how hard this is for you and your parents so we want to make this experience as valuable and as accessible as we can. We are really sad that you will not all be with us in school as teaching is much more fun with real children!
Much of the work we planned for you this term is designed for the classroom when we can have discussions, and lead your learning. For this reason, some of the topics we planned for you on our long term plan may be altered so it is easier for you to learn at home. We will reflect what you are doing at home with our children that are in school so they will have continuity if they are not in each day.
The English unit we planned – Goth Girl- was intended to be read in class with lots of discussion, and support. The home learning was designed for children who were isolating for a few days so please disregard that post if you have already read it.
Maths work for today has already been put on the website.
For English today, I am including 2 comprehensions: one for year 6 and one for year 5. Read the booklets carefully and then answer the questions. There is an answer booklet so you can check your answers once you have finished- it may be helpful to do this with a parent. Remember READ the question twice. Think about what it is asking; find the relevant place in the text; and ensure you have answered the question that has been asked.

We know how hard it is to keep motivated at home – learning on your own. Set up a learning space and set aside some time each day for school work. We have learnt a lot from the last lockdown and are hoping to have regular live team sessions with you. The teachers were in school yesterday for our normal PD day and part of that was ensuring we could access you at home via TEAMS so fingers crossed! We are also in school today discussing your home learning .
Check this website EVERY DAY for updates.
I will see some of you in school tomorrow morning.
Take care and keep safe.
Mrs Benson
