Guess who ... (One of them is Mr C!) Keep sending them in and we can keep adding to them!
Here is our Wall of Smiles from today, please keep adding to it and making people smile!
Here is a collage of everyone in uniform from today. It is so lovely to see your smiling faces! If you haven't had chance to send yours, please continue to send them! We will be posting some more photographs on the school blog with children fro different classes on it!

Good morning, Miss H here again! Remember that today is ‘Uniform Day’, so please send us a picture of you in your uniform!
(By sending in a photo, you consent to it being used within school and on the school website.)
At home, we have been looking through old photos and reminiscing about what life used to be like. This is something I always like to do as I am fascinated with the history behind the different photographs. Recently, before the virus, we even got out an old projector with different little slides that you have to push into the projector to move them on. Here are some of the photos that we came across of me …
Why not have a look back through some of your old photographs. You can send me some if you like and I will create a guess who collage!
So, on to today:
Reading: the usual 30 minutes, at least, please.
Science:
We are still looking at the topic of Living things and their habitats. How did your mould investigation go? We are starting today with a conclusion. Look at your results table.
Write a conclusion which answers these questions:
- What do you notice about your results and your observations?
- Is there more mould on one of the slices?
- Did the mould grow faster on one slice?
- Can you use your observations and results to answer your question?
Then make a list of the different conditions that cause mould to grow.
We are going to now look at microorganisms again, in more detail.
Have a look through this PowerPoint.
You are going to make your own microorganism! Can you use playdough or another material to design your own single-celled microorganism?
Think about which type of microorganism it will be. Will it be eukaryotic (fungi, animals and plants) or prokaryotic (bacteria)?
Perhaps it will be a fungus, with a nucleus containing its DNA. Or maybe it will be a bacterium, with its DNA free within the cell.
Complete the sheet with the name of your microorganism, its classification and any other information including its uses or effects.
Computing:
We are going to create our very own Our Wall of Smiles as a class! But how I hear you cry, we have Mrs Barker to thank for this!
Mrs Barker introduced us to something called ‘Padlet’ which is like a virtual piece of paper that we can all get to and write on! If you click on the link below, you will be sent to a new window. Hopefully, you will see that I have started us off by adding my own quote to make you smile! If you double click on the piece of paper or click the ‘plus’ button, you can begin typing. In the title part, I’d like you to put your name, then we can see who has contributed. You need to write your message to everyone then press the enter button. You can add images or doodles that you can draw by pressing on the ellipsis (…). I am looking forward to your posts to make me and others smile! Here is a link to our Padlet:
DT:
Remember, starting next week, we are going to be cooking dishes from around the world. Please do not feel like you have to purchase the ingredients especially, adapt the recipes to what you have at home. Today we are going to look at food groups.
Look through the PowerPoint. Look at each food from different parts of the world. What foods can you see? For each dish, put the food items into a Venn Diagram which could look like this:
Stay safe everyone and have a lovely weekend!

Wow - it's already mid-May! Amazing.
Happy Thursday tutti! Have an ice pop, courtesy of Caitie...
So, how did Luke Skywalker know what his dad got him for Xmas?
He felt his presents!
Writing: Today is the day to begin the end... the end of your story. Please pay attention... I will NOT be editing this for you. I would love, love, LOVE to post these on the whole school blog, but I won't do it unless you give me the OK on the email when you send it. So, talk to your partner, check and edit and think carefully.
Mrs Barker has forwarded a short story writing competition to me, which I will post later on - maybe you enter these stories? Think about it.
Today - everyone - is the end of NOT-SATs week. Well done getting to this point. I can only commend you for how you have handled the whole process and the success that you have all had. Well done - you are absolutely wonderful! I think you should speak to your parents about some kind of reward for getting to this stage.

Mass Observation Day Survey

I don't know if any of you are interested in this - but I think it looks pretty cool.
http://www.massobs.org.uk/write-for-us/12th-may
In 2020 the Mass Observation Archive will be repeating its annual call for day diaries, capturing the everyday lives of people across the UK. The written diaries will be stored in the Archive at The Keep and be used by a wide range of people for research, teaching and learning. This is the 10th Anniversary of the 12th May Diary project.
Have a look and see what you think...

Morning all,
So... day 3 of non-SATs week. I hope you are enjoying your breakfasts. I'm having Rice Krispies.
I hope you did some running along with Mrs Barker yesterday... KBLA went out with Floss:
Alex went out on his hover board - but he has a sprained ankle, so that's allowed.
Reading: 30 minutes - as usual, please. I'd like some more photos.
English: You now have your original stories back. It is time to end the story. DON'T rush this. I don't want these stories back until Friday. Today, I'd like you to read it all through TOGETHER. I'd like you to edit the story so far. There are some problems. Some of you started in the 3rd person, then another person took over and - by mistake - went into the first. There is punctuation to correct. Please make sure ALL the chapters are in the same font and colour.
THEN, I'd like you to talk about how this should and will end. Remember you began with a hook; make sure this has a barn-storming end!
My tip is to edit and read today, think overnight, then get together again on Thursday and begin to write.
Maths:
English comprehension: Schofield and Sims - Child Employment. Answers tomorrow.
Music/Art topic: I would like you to design the new album for your favourite band, or singer. Make up a track-listing, 8-10 song titles. Give the album a name that fits and design the front cover and rear - with tracklisting.
Send photos of them through to me please. I am in school on Thursday and Friday and will select a winner with help from Mrs Kendal and Miss Watkins.
And that's your lot for today...
Have a great day... and don't forget to exercise!
Mr C
