Home Learning - w/c 18.05.20

ANSWERS AND SPELLING TEST NOW POSTED BELOW

If you find you're bored over half-term, I've created an "I'm Bored!" page on the main home learning page. I hope you enjoy a restful break!

Note to parents: I hope that your child enjoys the activities that have been planned for this week. I understand that it may seem slightly challenging at the moment balancing both work and home schooling and I want you to know that I am here to help and support you in any way that I can. Obviously, in an ideal world, I would love for the children to complete all of the tasks that have been set but I understand that this is not always workable or possible. As a basic requirement, I would ask that the children try to complete all of the Maths and English activities. For the topic activities, the children can pick and choose which activities they complete. Obviously, the more activities that they complete the better, but I don’t want you to feel pressured at home to get these completed if time or work constraints don’t allow for it one week. Hopefully, the topic tasks that have been set are fairly independent activities so that most children should be able to work on them without additional adult support.

I would also ask that either the children or you touch base with me at least once a week via email, whether it is to share pictures of learning, ask questions or to give us some feedback. The class email will be monitored daily between the hours of 8.30 and 16.30 Monday to Friday - owl@trentyoungs.dorset.sch.uk.

Bonjour la classe,

Ça va? How are you?

I hope you are keeping your French up.  Enjoy this new learning about la famille.  This week you will learn the vocabulary for members of your famille.  You will need this information as you try to make your own family tree, “un arbre généalogique”.  There are some video clips to watch to help you.

Bon courage,                   Madame Ferguson

Bon courage,

Madame Ferguson

Well it looks like maybe my team splits weren't quite as fair as I thought they were...sorry!! Nonetheless, well done to everyone who took part. 

Next week, you're going solo. If I've set it up correctly, it should be an individual competition. Who will take the title?

Not our week I'm afraid Owls as were beaten by some great individual efforts from Foxes. Well done to our top three of Andrew, Bailey and Dylan! Next week, I've set it up slightly differently as I've split you into two groups to compete against each other!
