'Don't blend in, when you were born to stand out!' Home Learning-Week 13

Good Morning! I hope you had a good week, last week, despite the sudden change in weather. This week, we have another TTRS battle planned, but for a shorter window of time (see below for details!) There is also another week of transition activities, which are all about your individual qualities. I really like this theme, and it links in with the quote above, ‘Don’t blend in, when you were born to stand out.’ So this week, I want you to celebrate your differences and embrace your uniqueness! You are all amazing in your own, unique ways-don’t ever change to blend in with crowd!

SPORTS DAY 6th -8th July - as mentioned last week, we are still planning on going ahead with Sports day this year - granted it will be a little different! Please read the information on the link below and send me your results by WEDNESDAY 8TH JULY AT 4PM to be included in the class count up. Good Luck!

In addition to setting work this week, I will also be putting some information below, with regards to the last week of term, when I know many of you will be coming back to school for the week. Please do read over the information and guidance again so you know what to expect, when you do return. There is also a transition task at the bottom of the blog, which is for the current Year 5’s, who will be moving to Year 6 in September-obviously, there is no need for you to complete this task!

INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN-RETURN BACK TO SCHOOL (JULY 13TH-JULY 17TH)

Below I am attaching the guidance for parents and children, which outlines some key information for when your child returns to school for the last week. Please do read over the information with your child, so they are aware of what safety measures will be in place, when they do return. School will be different to what they are used to, and due to higher numbers of children returning, there will be two separate Year 6 ‘learning bubbles’ (of course they will still get to see their friends from the other bubble, and say hello, but this will be socially distanced!) The parent guidance also provides you with information for each bubble (Bubble 4 & Bubble 5), re. school start/end times and drop off/pick up points. I have also attached a document that outlines the two timetables for ‘Bubble 4’ and ‘Bubble 5’. You will receive a text from me, telling you which bubble your child is in, so you know which information and timetable is relevant to your child. I cannot wait to see many of your faces again!

For those not returning to school, I will be putting all the information for next week’s learning on the website, as usual. The home learning I set on next week’s blog will be the same as the learning we will be covering in school.

Take care and have a lovely week!

Year 5 Transition Activity!

Good morning Year 5 (soon to be Year 6!) I cannot believe how fast time has gone-it seems like only yesterday I was teaching you in Year 4. I feel so privileged to be teaching you again, especially during your last year in primary school. Having spoken to Mrs McVey, I know how hard you have all been working during this difficult time. I know it cannot have been easy for any of you, having to adapt to learning from home. However, I have no doubt it will have made you even more resilient and ready to take on any challenge that comes your way. I would like to think I know you quite well, having taught you before, however, so many things can change in a year-your strengths, areas for development, ambitions, anxieties and so much more! With this in mind, I would love for you to share your thoughts and feelings with me, as you prepare to make that transition to Year 6. Year 6 is full of responsibility, challenges, new learning, adventures, independence….I cannot wait for us to go on this learning journey together!

Below, are some points/questions for you to respond to, to help me get to know you all over again! I have also attached a few templates that you may want to use. However, feel free to respond to these question in any way you would like-be as creative as you want! You might want to create your own booklet, make a poster, write a letter or even make a little video to send me! Express yourself in any way you like! When you have completed it please send it to my email address, year6@our-lady.blackpool.sch.uk. by Friday 10th July. I cannot wait to hear from you!

1) All about you-your family, likes/dislikes, ambitions, hobbies etc

2) What have you been doing while school has been close? How have you found home learning?

3) Your Year 5 achievements/areas for development. What did you enjoy most? What did you find difficult?

4) What are you looking forward to in Year 6?

5) Are there any specific roles of responsibility you are hoping to take on, in Year 6? Head Girl/Boy?Prefect? Digital leader? Sports leader? Office support?

6) Do you have any worries/concerns about Year 6?
