07 May 2020: Hall of (home learning) Fame
Hello everyone
Welcome back to another edition of the Hall of (home learning) Fame #HoHLF – are you chanting? I think here some people!
Today, we have a mix of learning and trick shots (insert audience ‘wooooooo’ noise here).
So, here goes…
We start with an incredible trick shot.

Love of Reading
Some people have been in touch today to let me know what books they are enjoying at home and in which places they like to sit and read. Violet has been reading about Ancient Egypt, as this is something that particularly interests her. She knows a lot about the Gods and the hieroglyphs they used and she liked that fact that the book described mummification and the afterlife. She has chosen to read in the garden this morning so that she can enjoy this lovely weather.
Charlie has sent a picture of a cosy, small space that he likes to read in. It looks really peaceful in there and it’s good to know you have a good supply of toilet rolls in case you are reading a sad story! He is enjoying ‘Matt Millz’ by Harry Hill. Maybe this is a book you might consider reading in the future.
Imogen has been reading Mr Gum and the power crystals. She read it in the garden so she could enjoy the sunshine. She likes the book because it is funny and interesting.
Living and Learning: ways to calm down
Thanks to Leiyah for sending in her ways to calm down.
Living and leaning: I know ways to help me calm down
Amelie has offered some great ways to help calm down.
Trick Shot
The trick shot bar has been raised. It’s going to take a lot to beat this one.
04 May 2020: Home Learning
Good morning.
I have already been inundated with messages and photographs of the learning that 5/6 S have been doing. It’s so great that you are all keeping in touch and letting me know what you are getting up to.
Lilia has sent me the art work that she and her mum did. They were listening to Kelly Clarkson’s, Stronger, at the time. I wonder who’s is the best – what do you think?
Ava has been working hard on her music lesson also and she has produced this great scratch picture. I love it!
I was very pleased to hear from William over the weekend. He sounds like he has been very busy entertaining himself during lockdown. He told me he has built campfires, slept in the caravan in the garden and built two sheds! He will be coming back to school exhausted! He has had some new additions to the family too – his family are now the proud owner of some chickens. Some of them look huge!
Art/music: Hall of Home Learning Fame
Today, we asked children to create a piece of art based on some music. Leiyah chose Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.
Year 5,6 Quiz of the Week!
This week, we’ve decided to end the week with a little bit of fun. So, we’ve made a video quiz of the week. Check it out here.
It’s a mix of general knowledge, a recap of some previous learning and a bit of fun! We’re hoping you’ll play along as a family, or maybe against other families and will enjoy 10 mins of trivia and silliness.
If you like it, get in touch and we’ll do a weekly edition published every Friday.
Enjoy!

If you want a challenge, I wrote this article with a clear idea in my head about my audience (who I’m aiming it at) and purpose. What was the purpose of this article? Did it work? How did my audience affect the style I wrote it? Would I write the same if this was a more srious article? Or, aimed at people I didn’t know?
*Terms and conditions: you must send a picture to be entered into the Hall of (home learning) Fame. Winners will be posted on this section of the website and will receive their prize as soon as they read it. The prize is a virtual high five from the Year 5,6 team.
