Fancy a twist on a classic dish?
Amelie has this half term covered in terms of new recipes to try out on your family. Her vegetarian ‘parmo’ with cheesy potato skins sounds great.
5/6M writing
Bella, Leiyah and Olivia have sent in their writing from Mr Owen’s lessons. It’s great to see your pride in presentation hasn’t faltered.
Hall of home learning fame
Thank you for sending me your wonderful science work this week. I was over the Moon with the response to Mr Freeman’s lesson.
Happy Friday!
Hello Year 5/6! We hope you are all well and feeling happy and healthy. You’ve made it through another week of home learning, so congratulations. We hope you are going to spend the weekend relaxing, getting some fresh air and having some lockdown fun.
Thank you to people who are still emailing their work in, we love to see what you’re producing at home.
Imogen has sent in her piece of writing in. This is from Mr Owen’s writing lessons and she has produced a great witness statement – well done. She has also been very creative and used play dough to show the different phases of the moon for Mr Freeman’s lesson.
Children’s Mental Health Week
Children’s Mental Health Week is taking place on 1-7 February 2021. This year’s theme is Express Yourself.
Here are some activities and ideas for you and your child(ren) to complete at home together. You can also download it here.
Expressing yourself is about finding ways to share feelings, thoughts, or ideas, through creativity. It is about finding a way to show who you are, and how you see the world, that can help you feel good about yourself.
As parents and carers, you play an important role in your child’s mental health. Check out the free resources.
Don’t forget to email your teachers with any photos or messages of your activities about Children’s Mental Health Week.
Thank you!
Home Learning Warriors!
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you’ve all had a good week. I am massively impressed by how many children are staying so dedicated to their home learning. Some aren’t always finding it easy, but you are all showing resilience and perseverance – well done!
Thank you to everyone who sends their work in. I love seeing what you are getting up to at home and it looks like you are enjoying the home learning.
Charlie has sent his report in about Covid 19. I like the fact that he has thought about the layout and presentation of his report. It shows great awareness of audience and purpose.
William has sent in his amazing illustration of an alien. He has really thought about his vocabulary choices. I particularly like the ‘puddle of drool.’
James has been working hard on producing some information about sea defenses, following Mr Freeman’s lessons this week.
Jessica has put a massive amount of effort into her writing this week and has produced an amazing report about her new planet. I like the vocabulary choices and the presentation, as well as the illustrations. Well done.
Imogen sent in her writing skills work. She had a go at producing a sentence tree and completed 15 lines – amazing! That’s definitely beaten my score.
Again, thank you to everyone for sending your work in. Make sure you remember to go on TT Rockstars as much as possible and find a quiet time in your day to do a bit of reading too. If you haven’t been on any Zoom meetings with your teachers yet, please get yourselves on there. We love to see your smiling faces. I have some children that attend daily and it cheers me up massively to have a chat with them.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend. Get out for some fresh air, do some baking and make sure you have a giggle at some point.
Take care.
Remarkable Writing
From Mr Owen, who’s leading the Y5,6 home learning writing sessions…
Hi everyone,
I wanted to share some of the fantastic writing that’s been happening in Y5 and Y6 recently, both at home and in school. Children have been creating their own planets, including maps and loads of links to geography learning. Classes in Moortown, Scholes (Elmet) and St James’ have all been working on the same projects, and the end products look great! Children should be really proud of what they’ve created.
Here are just some of the great examples that I’ve been sent. If you’d like to send yours in, I’d love to see it! (Send me an email – davidowen@spherefederation.org)
In St James’… How awesome is this?
In Moortown, Y6… What a great effort!
In my class: Moortown, Y5… This one even had an accompanying video!
This one included lots of the things we’ve been working on recently and included great vocabulary:
Scholes (Elmet) children have been really creative too…
At St James’ again… Working hard to create amazing planets!
Amazing presentation, fantastic ideas and great writing skills on show!
Happy Friday!
