St Thérèse

Science : Thursday 17th September 2020

Mr Boffey will be teaching a practical lesson for the Light topic on Thursday and has requested that the children bring in a creal box , if tey can, in order to make Periscopes, to demonstrate that light travels in straight lines.

In order to faciliate this amid Corona restrictions, I ask parents to place the cereal box in a tied bag and leave at home for 48 hours before the children bring it in on Thursday morning.

Thank you all for your cooperation and support.

As usual, any questions, please do not hestitate to contact me via the class email.

The first full week has flown by and has been so enjoyable. Thank you to all the parents for their support with getting the children on track with their homework. A few points have been raised which I shall clarify.

1. SPAG and Big Maths (3 exercises) are set on a Friday to be completed by Tuesday. For the SPAG, please encourage the children to use thier Grammar Glossary document in order to fully engage with the learning.

2. Monday Maths Club will require the children to complete some work which will be due back on the following Monday.

3. Thursday English Club will require the children to complete some work which will be due back on the following Thursday.

4. The children should be heard reading a minimum of three times a week.

Thank you for your continued support in this. Please do not hesitate to email me at the class email if you require any further clarification or detail.

It has been a wonderful first few days back and I hope that the children have enjoyed being back in class as much as Ms Ryan have enjoyed being with them . There is homework this week - we have set a SPAG exercise on expanded noun phrases and the Big Maths Click, Learn it and Safe. This is to check that all the log ins and passwords work and that all the children can access this facility each week. Ms Ryan and I will check that all has been completed by Tuessday. These exercises will be set everyweek on a Friday for completion by Tuesday. Thank you.

Welcome

Please be aware with the Medium Term Planning that this document reflects the planning for a `normal` Autumn Term. Whilst we will endeavour to cover the majority of this work, with the addition of the `Recovery Curriculum ` there will not be time. Therefore, a timetable will be added to the class web page weekly to show you exactly what parts of the planning will be completed each week.  

St Therese's class, with some pupils at home who joined us,  had a teams meeting with Mr Kemble from the Marches this morning. It  was both interesting and informative. Mr Kemble sign posted us to the Marches Y6 into 7 Transition page, a link to which I have included here: http://marchesschool.co.uk/starthere/

The children this morning, had a chance to go on the page and felt that it was: `reassuring`, `interesting`, `the videos were nice because we could figure out what lessons we would be doing`, `the videos were informative about how they would teach the lessons` and `interesting to see the different classrooms`.

It is well worth a few minutes of your time to look at, as Mr Kemble said that there were lots of activities to do that would support the children's transition.

Hi everyone, just a quick note to say that Ms Ryan and I are really looking forward to seeing you all when you come in for your `days`. Could I ask though, when you come in , that you please bring your copy of  `Framed` with you as we shall be needing it for next year. Thank you.  Take Care. Mrs Stowell.

Big Maths

 

https://www.bigmaths.com/

 

I have set Big Maths tasks for all the children to complete. Please login by using the following details:

 

Pin: 0539

Username: Pupils first name ending in 1 , e.g. Jimmy1.

Password: Stherese6

 

These activities are aimed at increasing mental speed and support the work completed in school.

I have deliberately set lower levels to allow pupils to learn how to use the programme on the computer and get used to the question types again. 

 

Please complete on a Friday. A new set of tasks will be available each week.
