Good Morning! And just like that, another week has gone by. This week I will be adding a new resource (Oxford Owl) to the ‘additional resources’ and there will be a new transition task in the ‘expected work’. In place of the themed Learning Projects I have been setting, I will give you weekly transition projects. There are tasks to complete daily, and this week’s theme is ‘Growing Your Independence’. These projects will really help to prepare the class for their transition to high school, and the tasks are manageable, with some even just having a discussion with others. I really hope you find these useful!
‘Reading in an Unusual place’. Here are some of the great pictures I was sent of you reading in some strange places…this is just proof that you really can ready anywhere!! Thank you for sending these to me, I really enjoyed receiving them. Please do send yours, if you have not managed to yet!

Additional resources:
Pie Corbett Talk for Writing Pack, Unit 4. This week I have set the new Pie Corbett Writing Packs:

I highly recommend the Pie Corbett materials-they really are very good, and I have had great feedback from those parents/children who have been using them!

RE Home Activities This has many RE activities that the children can do from home. If you haven’t already, please have a look at the links to the Year 5 and 6 activities. If you have any questions for Father Jim, please look at the Children’s page on the Church Website. https://www.olablackpool.org/children-s-page He’s looking forward to all your questions.
R & J letters from last week’s lesson:
As always, I am deeply thankful for your continued support! I am truly humbled by how much you are doing with your children, making sure they are getting as much as they can from their home learning experience. I know this cannot always be an easy task. As the weeks have gone by, I can imagine it has become more of a challenge to keep your child(ren) motivated, so please be assured you are doing an amazing job, considering the circumstances! If you ever need any help or support with ANYTHING, please do not hesitate to contact me (year6@our-lady.blackpool.sch.uk) If your child ever wants to send me an email, via the parent email address, I will be sure to email them back too!
Have a great week & take care,
Miss Slater, Mrs Murray & Miss Evans x
