Rock, paper, scissors!

Base 12 had an amazing time in their lesson on selection and coding yesterday! Starting from scratch, they managed to code on a laptop, link it to a Micro:bit and then challenge each other to games of rock, paper, scissors. Thank you so much Paul from “Amazing ICT”.

Week 4 Timetable

Good morning!

Please follow the link for the year 5 timetable for the week beginning 24th January.

Week 4

Let’s investigate…

Year 5 were thoroughly engaged in their thermal insulator vs thermal conductor science experiment yesterday. They shared fantastic predictions, were excited about their findings and then discussed detailed conclusions. What a brilliant start to the week!

Super swimmers!

Year 5 did themselves really proud today. They demonstrated their excellent resilience skills during their first swimming session. We are very proud of you!

Veolia ‘Lunchbox challenge’ workshop

Year 5 enjoyed their Veolia ‘Lunchbox challenge’ workshop yesterday. They found it that interesting that they ended up reflecting on their own waste habits and discussing how they can improve. Well done!

Important reminders about TEAMS

Good morning everyone!

We are so proud of how hard you are all working in these difficult times! We just wanted to send you all a reminder about the importance of using TEAMS in the most effective and safe way.  Please pay close attention to the “don’t” section as it is really important.

-Only use teams chat to send a message to school staff.

-Check for comments sent to you by your teacher.

-Give yourself time to have regular screen breaks. This includes getting some fresh air.

-Let adults in your household know when you will need access to the computer.

-Behave online as you would in a classroom.

-Always remember to interact respectfully and sensibly.

-Don’t open any messages or invitations from anyone who is not a member of school staff.  

-Don’t use Teams Chat to send messages to your friends– it should only be used as an online learning tool and not a social media site.

Keep up the good work! You’re all doing amazingly well.

Mrs Richards, Mrs Williams and Mrs Bennett.

General information about remote learning

Good morning,

We would just like to inform you how our remote learning will work:

  1. Matching the remote learning timetables each week,  work and links will be published on Microsoft Teams. From 5pm the afternoon before, each day’s work will be available.
  2. If any children or parents have any questions, please email us so that the relevant ‘remote learning teacher’ for that day can reply to you. On Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, please send your email to both rebecca.richards@taw.org.uk and jess.bennett@taw.org.uk. On Thursdays and Fridays, please replace Mrs Richards’ email address with samantha.williams@taw.org.uk.
  3. We will be available to respond to emails and mark work submitted by the children during the hours of 9-3 daily. If you do not get an immediate response, please bear with us. We will get back to you as and when we can.
  4. The only time slot that we will not be available to respond to emails is between 12.30-3 each Wednesday as that is our planning slot.

Thank you,

The Year 5 team.
