Hello Year 5,
Just a quick message before the Easter holidays. We hope that
you are all well and enjoying the home learning packs and activities that were
sent home.
We have all found the past two weeks very strange and are
missing seeing you. Mr Davies spent time
in school last week with some Year 5 and 6 children and has said how hard they
are working. We have had the same message from some of your parents. It is
fabulous to hear!
As well as working, we have been finding ways at home to keep
ourselves busy. Mr Davies has been watching lots of old football highlights and
has been sending Mr Cahill golf challenges for them both to try! Mrs McWilliam has been looking after her dog,
Frankie, and reading her favourite books and Mrs Paish has been trying out new
recipes and spending a lot of time in the garden with her dog, Mac.
We have been making sure we get some exercise too. How many of
you have been doing the same? You might have been playing in the garden, walking
with your family or joining in with Joe Wicks during his morning PE lessons. If
you haven’t seen them yet, you can find them on his You Tube channel, The Body
Coach TV.
We have seen many other activities that you might like to try
at home over the holiday. Here are a few of our favourites.
J K Rowling has created a new wizarding hub for all keen
wizards. Find it at: https://www.wizardingworld.com/collections/harry-potter-at-home
David Walliams is reading a story every day for 30 days.
Listen, or catch up, here: https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/
Take a virtual tour of the Smithsonian National Museum of
Natural History here: https://naturalhistory.si.edu/visit/virtual-tour
You can also look around the Natural History museum in London

On their site, they also show you how to make a volcano.
Natural disasters are our topic for next term! Find out how here: https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/how-to-make-a-volcano.html You may
want to explore their site further as there are many other activities on there.
You might want to start your own Nature Journal. See how here:

things can you see in your garden or on any walk you go on?
If you’re as good at art as Mrs Paish (stop laughing 5P) you
might want to use your time to brush up on your skills. Try this T Rex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey_I7cP6jNw&list=PL6w4ihPqk5_LcpNpSpAoEVwsCRdUb9y-z&index=11
Finally, Mrs Hulme had a lovely email from Kerry Gibb, the
author who visited school recently. She has written a short story spin-off from
her ‘It’s a Kid’s Life’ series and is inviting children to write their own
ending. Her message to you is: “You may be stuck
inside, but your imagination is as free as a bird, so let it fly!” You can find the story here: http://kerrygibb.com/its-a-kids-life/kids-life-lockdown/
We hope you have a good holiday. We
will be in touch after Easter.
Mr Davies, Mrs McWilliam and Mrs Paish
