Weekly Challenge

This week, we would like you to create a general knowledge quiz which you could use with your family. Think carefully about who you are writing the quiz for and what questions you will include. You could even organise your questions into categories to test different subject areas – remember to keep the answers secret!

Send us a photo of your quiz (and the answers) so that we can test our knowledge too!

We look forward to seeing what brilliant questions you can come up with.

Active Challenges

This week, Ellie-Mae has been taking part in the 60 second active challenges. She managed to get an incredible 49 throws in 60 seconds for the clap and catch challenge! She also extended herself and put her skills to the test by adapting today’s obstacle challenge and completed it while balancing a ball on a spoon.

Well done Ellie-Mae! It’s brilliant to see you keeping active and challenging yourself.

You’ll be perfectly prepared for the exciting virtual sports festival (where you can compete alongside other schools) that will be launching on the school website next week!

Weekly challenge

Naabea has completed this week’s challenge and created an excellent, interactive cereal design! It’s very creative and clear that she’s put a lot of thought into it. She’s created a catchy name, considered the quantities of the ingredients and even included some 3* reviews to show customers how great her product is.

Thank you Naabea for sharing your brilliant design with us!

Keep sending updates and photos to:

A message from the children in school

After seeing our staff video message, some of the children in school wanted to write messages to their teachers, classes and family members. We really enjoyed putting this video together. There were a lot of laughs and retakes involved! Enjoy!

Lockdown song challenge

Lockdown has been something totally new for all of us. It has never happened before in our lifetimes. You must have been experiencing an extremely different way of life so I thought it would be a good opportunity to write a song.

Challenge
1) Write lyrics to a song all about lockdown. Think about what has been happening in the country (e.g. shops, schools, family time…). 

2) Come up with a rhythm for your song. Maybe include rhyme to help you? You could always write a rap.

3) If you’re at home, perform your song to your family. If you’re at school, perform your song to the other children in school.

Please send a photograph of your lyrics to me at rebecca.richards@taw.org.uk along with your name and your base. I can then add it to your year group’s page.

I am excited to see your lyrics!

VE Day music and drama

On VE Day, the children learnt Makaton for the song “We’ll meet again”, quoted Winston Churchill and released planes to symbolise the end of the war. We were extremely impressed with how much the children cared about making this day special. Well done!
