Good morning everyone!
How did your wildlife activities go yesterday? Thanks to those who managed to put something up on Google Classroom 
Today we would like you to firstly complete your Arithmetic Test 3 and Comprehension 3. After that, it is time to start out new topic- Ancient Greece, complete with our first whole year group Kahoot, from a distance!
In your exercise book, on a double page, write today's date and title Ancient Greek Family Life.
Then visit https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z87tn39/articles/zc8yb9q
Create your double page research project about family life in Ancient Greece. Your subheadings could be:
1. Introduction
2. Home
3. Family roles
4. Fashion
5. Toys
6. Food
Remember to summarise your findings using full sentences. Addition connectives (moreover, in addition...) would work well. Include drawings too!
Kahoot
To see how much we have found out from our research, we will then be playing an Ancient Greek Family Life Kahoot! At 3pm today, go to https://kahoot.it/ and enter the game pin. I will post the game pin back here on the blog at 3pm! I will give you about 3 minutes to enter the game pin and your first name before I click play. As this is our first time trying Kahoot, we may have some problems, so don't worry if you don't manage to get on. Check the blog for updates from me and don't forget you can add comments here too!
Happy researching everyone and we will be back on at 3pm for a live Kahoot!

Morning everyone
How are you all today?
I have been experimenting with different recipes last week and have enjoyed what I have made so far. My favourite has been a lentil spaghetti bolognese - mmm. (This isn't the one I made, it's from the recipe I followed.)
Your task today is to help an adult make a meal. It could be for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even a snack. Once you have done this, write a set of instructions about how you made it, like a recipe book. Please put today's date in your blue book and write your recipe in there. Don't forget to add in an image of your creation.
Extra challenge:
In your blue books, write down as many words as you can find in this boggle.
One point for every letter you use.
eg. 9 letter word = 9 points, 4 letter word = 4 points
What books have you all been reading? Comment below and recommend some to your friends.
Good luck,
Mrs Edwards and Miss Higson

Good Morning Year 5! 
Miss Jones and I have both really enjoyed reading some of your riddles that you have posted for one another on the classroom. We will post another for you to answer today!
Today you should be focusing on the third set of activities from your pack. Again, there has also been a MyMaths set, please check if you have not already completed. We have also set an assignment on the classroom for anyone who wants to share the work they have done at home so far! One of you asked whether this should be by docs or slides - you can choose!
Miss Higson has kindly reminded us all that you can send a comment to us via these blogposts - if there is something you're not sure about. Your message will come up to the teachers. Just scroll down a bit now to where it says 'Post your comment'. Why don't you see if it works and say hi!
Alongside your pack work, why don't some of you (if you can) get creative? Choose a challenge from the list below and go for it! (Check the challenge is okay with your adults first). You could also try out a Rube Goldberg machine - think back to our science lessons on them. I have attached some links to some good examples below.

Morning Year 4,
We both hope you had a good day yesterday at home and managed to join in with the Joe Wicks work out. There is another one today: go on and try todays https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6r99N3kXME
Also, why not do your favourite just dance routines today, you could even teach your parents/sibling/family in your house your favourite moves.
After a bit of exercise take a break and then it's time to look at your learning pack. Today we want you to complete pages 6, 7, 8 and 9 in your maths booklet. After this, choose on of the SPAG mats and complete that and finally, practise your handwriting and spellings by using the Year 3&4 National Curriculum spelling mat.
If you log on to our google classroom you will see a link to the scratch website with our year 4 log in details. If you wanted to keep up with computing you could go on there and watch some of the help videos and then create your own game. Don't forget to comment and tell us if you have created something for us to go and have a look at.
Enjoy today, speak to you all tomorrow :)

Good Morning Year 5!
We hope that you all had a good day yesterday and that you managed to create an effective home learning time table. Remember that you need a good balance of work, play and exercise!
Joe Wicks will be posting exercise videos on youtube every morning from 9am (but you can play them whenever you find the time). You could also look at some just dance and get whoever is at home with you involved in the fun!
Look at your schedules for today's activities in your packs and complete those when you can. Remember to write the name of the task and today's date in your exercise books.
Today we have set MyMaths for you to complete as well. Try to complete it by Friday! We would also like you to try to access times table rockstars. We will be checking who is accessing My Maths and times table rockstars and we will be looking for those extra proactive home learners to reward when we return to school!
Miss Horvath and Miss Jones have been looking at riddles today! Who can answer our riddle? Post your answers on google classroom!
Remember: Don’t forget there are plenty of games on websites such as Top Marks, BBC Bitesize and purple mash for you to play and learn at the same time!
Take care and if you can, make the most of the sunshine.

Good morning everyone!
Miss Higson here. I hope you are all well and are getting into the swing of things at home. Did you all manage to complete day 1 activities? I was in school yesterday with Mrs Nunwick but I saw that a lot of you have been on Google Classroom and carried on with your story too. That's great!
Here is the link for the Joe Wicks PE lesson at 9am but you can do it at any time if you're not ready then. CLICK HERE
And then, today's activities are the ones with a big number 2 circled in the corner. See how you get on :)
Also, you can send a comment to me if there is something you're not sure about. Your message will come up to the teachers. Just scroll down a bit now to where it says 'Post your comment'. Why don't you see if it works and say hi!
Here's an extra challenge too - can you find out what creature this is? Good luck! 
Speak to you soon,

Don't forget that Joe Wicks is a great way to start the day, or to catch on delay at any point during the day:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ
Your daily schedule Maths and English is 'Arithmetic test 2 and English Comprehension 2: Deforestation'
Feeling creative? Mrs Edwards has suggested looking at the Wildlife Watch website and there are lots of fun activities to do in the garden/yard. While the sun is shining, why don't you try and attempt some of them? 
Here is the website: https://www.wildlifewatch.org.uk/activity-sheets
If you manage to complete one of the activities, we have set up a Google Classroom document for you to add a picture to so we can see. Do not worry if you are not able to do this. Instead, you could write today's date in your blue book and draw and label a picture of your creation.
Good luck,
Mr Boyer and Miss Isbister :)
