Purple Mash

As the weeks pass, we know lots of you are finding home learning harder. It is also  more difficult for us to be sure we are providing the right level of work for you when it is so long since we have seen many of you. We have been reviewing the different technological approaches to home learning used by schools around the county and different parts of the country. We have also listened to feedback from the families within our own school community. Access to devices, internet connection and printers varies from family to family and school to school; however, we would like to increase the opportunities for our Claverley children to interact with their school community.

Purple mash should provide a way for the children to communicate and share photos, voice messages and videos safely. Individual usernames and passwords have been sent out. It will continue to be useful in the new school year even if (as we hope) we are all together in school once more.

I have made a short screen-cast video to provide a short introduction to using Purple Mash. Enjoy!

Hello

Dear Blue Class,

We hope you are all well and enjoyed the hot weather last week. Pictures of some of you in your pools made us very jealous! The year 6 returners are in school, and we have been busy casting for our own film of The Tempest- can we manage to learn the script and film it in two weeks?! Freya spotted a great version of The Tempest on Cbeebies ; it uses some Shakespearean language but is very entertaining especially as most of you know the story so well now. The new Alex Rider series is also out on Prime. It is targeted at over tens and teenagers, but my husband and I have been enjoying the series. Some of ‘the returners’ have been watching it at home.

We understand that home learning is getting really tough especially as lots of your parents are also busy trying to work from home too. Try to complete at least the first side of the maths sheet to keep your skills sharp, and keep up to date with the English. We have put some foundation subjects on line over the past two weeks for you to work on but understand that some of you are pursuing  your own projects.

We are very excited that it is possible to welcome our year 5 ( soon to be year 6)  back in small groups in the last week of term We cant wait to see you all.

Our  year 6 leavers are going to be invited into school  on the afternoon of Thursday 8th July for a socially distanced picnic lunch  and leavers’ service. We hope most of you will be able to make it as we want to be able to say a proper goodbye. Can you all be thinking of your memories of school as we would like to share them just as we do in church. What is your earliest / most treasured/ funniest/ happiest memory? Think of two memories that you could share with everyone.

I hope you have all been reading during Lockdown; it’s a great form of escape. Mrs Langley always has great recommendations for me; have you read books you could recommend to each other? Many  of you still have our Bookfest books which you were reading when Lockdown happened. Please could you return them to school  – either when you come in or leave them in the school entrance during school hours.

Don’t forget to keep  in touch!

Take care everyone .

Mrs Benson and Mrs Bernasconi

Geography w/c 29th June

Well done to all of you who are continuing with your topic and have managed to  visit a river . Have you worked out  at which stage of the river course was the river you visited?   Last week you focussed on how rivers are used.This week our focus is on pollution in rivers and its effect on the environment.

Watch the following PowerPoint  on  Investigating River Pollution .

You can EITHER   create a poster campaigning against river pollution. This could include not littering, appealing to factories and industrial sites, and including reasons why protecting rivers is so important OR  imagine that you have been asked to present a speech at a local environmental rally about river pollution. In your  speech you  must include details of river pollution at both local and global levels, why this pollution occurs and proposals for ensuring that river pollution is reduced.  Use persuasive and geographical vocabulary.

This prompts us to think about where our energy comes from.

How do we produce energy?

How about trying this Solar kettle activity? (You will need some sunshine this one!)

Geography w/c 22.6.20

Rivers

Thank you for those of you who sent us  your research about the River Severn. It is great to find out something about your local river; I learnt some new facts from your work. I know some of you have also been on a visit to a river as part of this topic with your family.

This week we are looking at Why Rivers are important/ how they are used. Watch the PowerPoint

Investigating Rivers  – why Rivers are important. 

More information about uses of rivers

Pick 3 of the areas that you are interested in and write some information about how rivers are used; it would be great to use some extra information of your own.

I enclose a sheet that you may want to work on but it may be easier using lined paper.

Investigating Rivers
