Good morning everyone!

Well, we are back in this very strange situation of home learning. The next week will be focused on learning about Egypt and its culture.  

Once you have completed your tasks, I will look at them and send you some feedback.  Please remember to get an adult to contact me on Class Dojo if you have any difficulties with your work, or with logging on to Purple Mash etc.  

We will have a video meeting later in the week to check how you are getting on.  

Good luck today and stay safe!

Speak to you soon,

Mrs Watson x

 

 

 

Good morning ARB2…..Can you believe we have reached the very last week of the school year?  It feels like no time at all since this time last year!  We have no English or Maths tasks set for this week but lots of other activities instead….we hope you enjoy them.

Mrs. Watson x

 

 

Good morning!  Hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend.

Here is your home learning for this week.

I am hoping to see you all on Thursday at 11am for our Transition event.  Please check e-mails if you haven’t received information as yet.  I think some of our e-mails are going to your junk mailboxes.

Morning ARB. I hope you have had a super weekend despite the rain!

As there are some children returning to school this week, we have made some changes to the way you will see your home learning. Below is a slide show of your work for the week. Simply go through the slide show to see what you should be doing each day. This is still flexible and you can work in a way to best suit you! The slideshow is a guide but don’t worry if you do different tasks on different day. IXL and purple mash activities still accessible as normal. Have fun and enjoy your week.

Transport applications 2020-2021 – if you haven’t done so already, please make sure you have made your transport applications for the next school year.

Many thanks

Mrs Watson

TRANSPORT FOR 2020-2021

Dear Parents,

We have received notification from the Transport Team advising that you can now apply for Home to School transport for 2020-2021.

If you wish to apply for, or renew, transport support for your child you will need to submit an application form by the end of May in order to ensure it is in place for September.

These can be found online at www.southtyneside.gov.uk/schooltransport

All pupils who use Home to School transport must re-apply each year. If you already receive support please complete the ‘Renewal’ form. This is a much shorter form and allows you to let them know of any changes since your original application.

If you have any questions, please contact the Transport Team on 0191 4242789

Mrs Watson

Good morning all….. we have reached fabulous Friday!  We aren’t doing so well on IXL this week.  I think we need a fantastically big push today to reach our target of 4000 questions.  Please try to log on and have a go!

Today’s work is as follows:

  • Sign into IXL and complete the tasks I have set you.  Please start with those tasks in the Recommended by my Teacher section.  You can always go on to look at other tasks if you have time afterwards.
    • Topic – Now that you have collected some junk/materials from around the house, we want you to spend some time just thinking!We want you to gather as much junk/materials as you can and spread them out on a table. Have a little think about what you could make with the materials you have. You don’t have to draw or write anything down, today is just time to have a little think about what you COULD make.Here are some things to think about:
    • Could you make these out of toilet rolls or kitchen rolls?
    • Could you cut up the cardboard from a cereal box to make these different shapes needed for this ride?
    • Could you cut up an egg carton to make seats for a ride?Happy thinking!
    • Mrs Watson x

 

 

Thursday 4th June 2020

Good morning everyone!  We have reached 1310 questions on IXL for this week which means we still have 2690 to hit our target of 4000. Can you help our class to achieve the target?

Today I would like you to do the following tasks:

  • Log onto IXL and complete the assigned tasks. Feel free to do extra if you have time.  Remember to look in the Recommended by my teacher section.
  • Sign onto Mathletics and do the tasks I have set you.
  • Spend time on Times Tables Rockstars – have you managed to learn a new times table this week?
  • Read your reading book to someone at home – remember it can be to anyone at all……your parents, your neighbour over the fence, your uncle on FaceTime, your budgie in its cage….anyone at all!
  • Don’t forget to use Reading Plus if you have a log in for it.
  • A bit more science today…..What is reflection?To understand that light can be reflected from different materials.When light from an object is reflected by a surface, it changes direction. It bounces off the surface at the same angle as it hits it.Smooth, shiny surfaces such as mirrors and polished metals reflect light well. Dull and dark surfaces such as dark fabrics do not reflect light well.Follow the bbc bitesize website link to find out more about reflection and then complete the purple mash activity ‘Reflection and Surfaces’.

Wednesday 3rd June 2020

Good morning everyone!  Hope you are still keeping safe!

It’s wonderful Wednesday today….. so far this week we have only answered 822 questions on IXL – let’s see how many questions we can answer today!   Our target this week is 4000 again – let’s see if we can smash it!

Here are today’s tasks…..

Remember to do the Recommended by my Teacher tasks first!

  • Today we are thinking about rules that are set by different religions.  Look at this video on Purple Mash about rules in Islam, then see if you can create some rules of your own by completing the activity at the end.https://www.purplemash.com/#app/pup/rules

Good luck!

Tuesday 2nd June 2020

Good morning – it’s terrific Tuesday again! Hope you’re all okay….. so far we have answered 789 questions on IXL – keep up the good work!  We are aiming for 4000 again this week by Friday!

Today, I would like you to do the following tasks:

  • Sign onto IXL and complete the assigned tasks.
  • Sign onto Mathletics and do the tasks I have set you.
  • Spend time on Times Tables Rockstars – can you learn a new times table this week?
  • Read a book to someone at home – your parents, your dog/cat/hamster/goldfish, your Grandma over the phone…..anyone at all!
  • Don’t forget to use Reading Plus if you have a log in for it.
  • Your topic activity for today is as follows…..

For DT over the next couple of weeks, we would like you to create something very special. We would like you to design and make a ride that you may find at a theme park/ fairground. We do not want you to go out and buy materials. We want you to use junk/recycling you have in your home- so start collecting! This will take 6 lessons so please don’t do everything at once!

Here are some examples:

Your task today before you even begin to think about your model, is to do some research. Work with an adult to research different theme parks/rides across the world to give you some inspiration. Have a look to see how many different kinds of rides you can see and have a think, what could you make them out of?

Some questions to start you off:

  • What is the most popular theme park in England?
  • What is the most popular theme park in the world?
  • Find three rides from Disney World.
  • What else might you find at a theme park/fairground?
  • How tall is the tallest rollercoaster in the world?

Here is a video to watch which shows you lots of different types of rides.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiiX_QMtpqQ

Enjoy learning about different rides! Remember to start collecting some junk/food cartons – don’t throw them away!

Monday 1st June 2020

Good Morning everyone!  I hope you’ve all had a fabulous relaxing break over half term and are raring to go with some new tasks this morning.  The weather was amazing last week so I hope you all had some fun in the sun!

IXL – Today I would like you to catch up with some IXL – look at the Maths and English tasks that I have set for you under the ‘recommended by my teacher’ heading.We have set a target of 4000 questions for the week….sadly we didn’t make it the week before half term but your brains will now be well rested and ready to smash our target this week!

Exercise – Have a go at the following workout….

What’s Your Name workout

Select each letter of your name and that’s the activity you have to do. You could keep it simple by just doing your first name, challenge yourself with first name and surname OR super challenge with first, middle and surname!!

What will your work out be?

What is light?

To understand the difference between light and dark.

Our new science topic this half term is ‘Light and Dark’. Before you start today’s task make a list of all of the things you already know about light and dark. What would you like to know?

Light sources: A source of light makes light.

The Sun and other stars, fires, torches and lamps all make their own light and so are examples of sources of light.

Some animals, such as fireflies and glow-worms, are light sources. They make their own light to attract mates.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zbssgk7/articles/z2s4xfr

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zg6r82p

 

https://www.purplemash.com/#tab/pm-home/science/light_and_dark

 

Explore the bbc bitesize website to find out about light what it is and light sources. There is a presentation, a ‘fill in the gaps’ activity and a quiz.

When you have completed your research visit purple mash and complete the activity ‘Sources of Light’.

What is dark?  Can you write a sentence to answer this question?

(Hint: the answer to this question you will find on the Seymour science video clip)

Reading – Read for 10 minutes to someone at home.  You could read your reading book, a newspaper, a comic, a story on a Kindle….anything at all!

Good luck!

Friday 22nd May 2020

Good morning all….. we have reached fabulous Friday!  We aren’t doing so well on IXL this week.  I think we need a really big push today to reach our target of 4000 questions.  Please try to log on and have a go!

Today’s work is as follows:

  • Sign into IXL and complete the tasks I have set you.  Please start with those tasks in the Recommended by my Teacher section.  You can always go on to look at other tasks if you have time afterwards.
  • Animal Silhouette and Patterns:A silhouette is the black shape of an object. We can also say, shadow. Today you are going to use animal silhouettes and patterns to make an animal themed piece of artwork.Firstly, I would like you to think about your favourite animal. Think about its skin or fur in terms of pattern and texture. What does it look like? What does it feel like? Can you think of any words to describe it i.e. furry, spiky, slimy, fuzzy, sharp etc.? What colour is the skin or fur of your animal? Look at the animals below and see if you can describe their skin, fur or feathers.

When you have chosen your creature, using black paper and a pencil, trace, draw the outline of your chosen animal, carefully including part of its body that helps identify it.

Next, carefully cut the outline of your animal out of the black paper and put it to one side. If you can’t find any black paper you could always use white and then colour your animal shape in black with a black pencil or pen.

Next, using white paper, lightly draw the pattern of your animal’s skin or fur all across the page. Using your coloured pencils or oil pastels, fill in the colours inside your pattern. As you do this consider what texture might feel like and how you can convey that in your line quality. If your texture is fuzzy, use short soft strokes. If your texture is spiky, use long specific strokes. If your skin is bumpy like an octopus’ example, we left white areas around the suckers to show the suckers above the skin. When you have finished your skin/fur background you will then need to stick your black animal silhouette into the centre of your page……. hey presto you’ve created a piece of Animal Art!

Send us a photo showing your finished designs.

Monday 18th May 2020

Good morning everyone!

It’s marvellous Monday once again!  I hope you’ve all had a lovely weekend and are still staying safe! I am missing you all and wish this was all over so we could be back at school together again.

Here are today’s tasks…..

  • Sign into IXL and complete the assigned tasks (look in the ‘recommended by my teacher’ section for the work I have set for you).
  • Read for 10 minutes to an adult – this could be anything….your reading book, a comic, a newspaper or a book you have at home.
  • Listen to this story online about being kind  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAo4-2UzgPo
  • This week is Mental Health Awareness Week and in light of the current situation, it is even more important than usual to raise awareness.Kindness has been chosen as this year’s theme because “Kindness strengthens relationships, develops community and deepens solidarity. It is a cornerstone of our individual and collective mental health. Wisdom from every culture across history recognises that kindness is something that all human beings need to experience and practise to be fully alive.”We have decided to try and take part in an act of kindness each day this week and want you to join in. It may be an act of kindness towards a friend, family member, a stranger or even yourself!Act of Kindness Task 1 Why not do something kind and make someone laugh today? It has been proven that having a laugh is super for your mental health and well being! It reduces stress and releases ‘feel-good’ chemicals.

 

So, we want to you think of your best jokes to make people laugh. Any great ones you can think of, send us a video of you telling them or write them down and we will share them on the Facebook page.

Here’s one to get you started…..

I think you can do better than me……

Wednesday 6th May 2020

Good morning everyone!  Hope you are still keeping safe!

It’s wonderful Wednesday today….. so far this week we have answered 1689 questions on IXL – keep up the good work!  I know we can achieve our target of 3000 questions!

Here are today’s tasks…..

    Did you successfully use morse code to decipher this part of Churchill’s VE day speech?

    This is the actual speech:

    God bless you all.

    This is your victory!

    It is the victory of the cause of freedom in every land.

    In all our long history we have never seen a greater day than this.

    Everyone, man or woman, has done their best. Everyone has tried.

    Neither the long years, nor the dangers, nor the fierce attacks of the enemy, have in any way weakened the independent resolve of the British nation.

    God bless you

 

 

Tuesday 5th May 2020

Good morning – it’s terrific Tuesday again! Hope you’re all okay….. so far we have answered 671 questions on IXL – keep up the good work!  Remember, we are aiming for 3000 by Friday!

Today, I would like you to do the following tasks:

  • Sign onto IXL and complete the assigned tasks.
  • Sign onto Mathletics and do the tasks I have set you.
  • Spend time on Times Tables Rockstars – can you learn a new times table this week?
  • Read a book to someone at home – your parents, your dog/cat/hamster/goldfish, your Grandma over the phone…..anyone at all!
  • Don’t forget to use Reading Plus if you have a log in for it.
  • Your topic activity for today is as follows…..

Design a VE Day Medal

This medal celebrated the end of the First World War and was given to soldiers who fought in the war. It was a symbol of great pride but its design was also highly symbolic. 

Your task 

We would like you to design your own medal to mark the end of the Second World War that is just as symbolic and creative.  Your medal can be any shape or size but after you have designed your medal, annotate it to explain why you have chosen your design. If you decide to make a real medal, you could write a few notes on a separate piece of paper.

Possible things to research before you start:

  • The years of the Second World War
  • Who were England’s allies? What colours would represent them?
  • Which different army forces helped out in the war? How could you reflect them all in your medal?
  • Are there any symbols which signify the end of the war that you could include?
  • Are there any symbols which signify the soldiers’ sacrifice and then the victory?

We really look forward to seeing your designs. Please send them over to the Hedworthfield Facebook page so we can share them on the page.

Good luck!

Mrs. Watson

Wednesday 29th April 2020

 

Good morning everyone!  Hope you are keeping safe!

It’s wonderful Wednesday today….. so far we have answered 208 questions on IXL – keep up the good work!

Here are today’s tasks…..

  • IXL – I have set a couple more Maths and English tasks for you to try. https://uk.ixl.com/
  • Plan a healthy meal

Use your knowledge of healthy eating and the different food groups to design a healthy meal. This could be breakfast, lunch or tea. There are lots of ways you could show us your healthy meal. You could:

  • Make it yourself! Take a picture of your healthy food before you eat it.
  • Draw a picture of your healthy meal on some paper.
  • Cut out some pictures from magazines or online and create your plate.
  • Film a cooking show style video of you or your adult preparing your healthy meal!

If you can, label the different foods and which food group they come from.

Remember to send us pictures of your healthy meals!

 

  • An extra task today…..

Wish Jar

As tricky as it is at the moment, it is important to remember that it is only temporary (won’t last forever). Why not make a ‘wish jar’ and plan in all the lovely things you wish to do once this is all over. You could find a jar and add notes in, write on a piece of paper or even write a letter with all the things you hope to do once it is safe to return to normality.

Some things on my list are:

  • See my family and friends!
  • Give my parents the biggest hug ever!
  • Go for a walk around B&M and Home Bargains and buy lots of things I don’t need but want!
  • Go for a meal at my favourite restaurant.
  • Go back to bootcamp (instead of following workouts online in my living room!)
  • Have some friends and family round for a BBQ in the sun!
  • Get my hair cut and my nails done!
  • Go for a cuppa and catch up with my closest friends.

And most importantly…

  • See all of the lovely children and families from Hedworthfield.

 

What would be on your list?

Once you have made your list or jar, take a picture and send to the HF facebook page. Enjoy! We look forward to hearing from you all.

Hope to see you soon.

Mrs. Watson
