Monday 20th  April 

 

Welcome back! 

 

I hope that you and your families were able to enjoy some of the Easter holidays and that you are all well. The lovely weather certainly has made a difference to everything that grows around us, with shoots on the trees appearing, buds popping open and the grass growing.   

 

I am really looking forward to working with you all this term! Our class are going to be working on projects throughout the term. These projects will cover a range of subjects and will run for a week at a time, rather than daily work  being posted  on the blog for you to do. Mathletics and Reading eggs will also be set fortnightly as usual. In addition, we will be using Microsoft Teams where I can communicate with you all, you can share the amazing project work that you  do and you can see what one another are getting up to! The good thing about Microsoft Teams is that the Team  that I have set up will just  be for our class to view. You can comment on each other’s work or post things on it that you think your classmates would like to see, that you encounter  or experience  during the day or on a weekend. I am very excited, knowing you as I do, that you will produce some fantastic project work and will share your experiences at home, supporting each other along the way.

 

Each new project will be posted on the blog on a Friday for the following week. This enables adults who are working from home to have a look at the project and provides an opportunity for discussion  over the weekend, should you wish to do so. It then means on a Monday morning if the adult you live with is working from home you will be able to start your project straight away. I know that you are all superb independent learners! However, please  do not  feel that you need to look at  the blog before Monday.

 

When working on a project you will have a core task and then choose at least  two activities from the selection each week. You may also think of other wonderful ideas that you would like to create, I would love you to share these with me.

 

 

Project 1 - Uninhabited Island.

 

                 

 

For this project, you will have a core task and then there are a number of suggested activities with which I would like you to choose at least two. If you would like to complete more of the activities, I would be delighted! You may also have your own ideas, again, please share these on Microsoft Teams with our class. You are a very creative class, therefore I am sure you will produce some amazing work – I cannot wait to see it! 

 

Project Overview

Whilst you are out exploring, you have come across an uninhabited and undiscovered island, which you can claim as your own. The only rule is - that it must be used to preserve the animal life that is already there. 

 

The core task and suggested activities can be found on our class Microsoft Teams page.

 

Enjoy your first project; I can’t wait to see what you produce!
