Hello Everyone,
I hope all the children are beginning to get to grips with our remote learning programme. I have shared with the children the optional timetable as I believe they could benefit from a structured day as similar to their school day as possible. By no means do you have to follow it but it is just a mere suggestion. Perhaps each child could make their own to break up their day and plan when they will do their work.
Please can you encourage the children to mark and tell me their scores I am still waiting for scores from yesterday’s Maths and English. If they could reply in the set works thread I would appreciate it.
If your child is struggling with something if they message me at 9am 11am 2 pm or 3 pm I can chat with them and answer questions and point them in the right direction.
One final point if your child has not completed tasks from previous days please just focus on new tasks.

Class work 19/03/2020
Thank you to all the children for working so hard. Please remind your child to 'hand in' or 'submit' their work on completion so that I can see who has completed the tasks.
I am available for help during the normal school hours (at 9 am 11 am and 2 pm ) so if your child does the work in the evening, it will not be marked until the next day. Please see the optional timetable for the week.
TODAY'S TASKS:
TRICKY THURSDAY: A puzzle for the children to solve!
MATHS: Today the class will be solving word problems . Children can do calculations on a piece of paper but I am trusting that they do the work independently.
They can also spend 1/2 hour on Times Table Rockstars at some point during the day.
ENGLISH:
The instructions for the game are on Google Classroom .The children need to identify when we use a comma for parethesis. Please can they let me know their score and when they have done this (if they 'hand in' their work then I will know you have done it).
Using Commas for a Parenthesis
Commas can be used to separate a parenthesis (i.e., additional information that is not essential to the meaning of the sentence) from the rest of the sentence. It is also possible to use dashes or parentheses (brackets). When used to offset a parenthesis, commas, dashes, and parentheses (brackets) are called parenthetical punctuation.
For example:
- While on holiday in London, Simon Schmidt, a fireman from New York, rescued a cat from a tree.
- While on holiday in London, Simon Schmidt (a fireman from New York) rescued a cat from a tree.
- While on holiday in London, Simon Schmidt — a fireman from New York — rescued a cat from a tree.
MENTAL ARITHMETIC:
Please complete one mental arithmetic test from your book. Children should do at least two sections. E.g ab or bc
Computing:
Mr Moses will set this on google classroom.

I sent the children home with a pack containing paper and worksheets. The children will require their iPads or a computer to access classroom secrets and all children were given their login details on Thursday.
Reminder:
When children use their iPads in school, they are protected by our settings, which prevents them from accessing inappropriate websites. Our IT specialist team is working to ensure inappropriate sites are blocked off-site as well as on-site. This change has to be made while in school and will be done at the next available opportunity. It is, therefore, the responsibility of parents to check what their children are accessing at home until this is completed.

I would like to mention a conversation I had with the class this week, discussing homework, I have been fairly lenient with the day that homework is returned until now and not reprimanded when homework has been missing or not returned. However, after half- term there will be a more strict homework timetable, with homework expected to be returned the expected day. I understand that most children have activities after school and therefore will be setting a short homework (no more than 15mins). If there is an exceptional reason a child cannot complete it please email me.
Over half- term the children should revise multiplication and division techniques; fractions and percentages;
area, perimeter and volume; conversions e.g. g to kg.

A warm smile is the Universal language of Kindness
“A warm smile is the universal language of kindness.” William Arthur Ward
“Always find opportunities to make someone smile, and to offer random acts of kindness in everyday life.” Roy T Bennett
“Random acts of kindness, however small it may be, can transform the world.”
― Amit Ray,
“Kindness carries no price tag neither does it require making a purchase. A random act of kindness can change someone's life...choose to be kind always.”
― Kemi Sogunle
“Your one random act of kindness may not change the world but it might make a difference in the life of someone today”
― Maria Koszler
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Kitty Doerfler died on April 17th 2007, at the age of fifteen months.
Despite everything she went through in her short life, Kitty amazed those around her with how, when she had the strength, she still managed to bestow smiles and knowing looks on those around her. Her ability to make people feel better about themselves meant that the nurses on her ward would apparently even fight to be her named nurse for the shift!
In memory of the joy Kitty managed to bring in her short life, we ask friends, family, and strangers alike to engage in random acts of kindness. Wherever we went, Kitty managed to charm strangers and make everyone smile so we can think of no better way to elevate Kitty’s soul than having hundreds of people show kindness to their fellow human beings, bringing smiles in the most unexpected places.
Once you’ve done your act in Kitty’s honour (and please don’t feel the need to stop at just one!) join us at the Facebook group page Kitty’s Kindness and post what you did and how it made you or the person you gifted with kindness feel. We’d love to have the internet lit up with your stories in honour of Kitty, and be able to feel that she is still, somehow, playing a role in making the world a more beautiful, warm and kindness filled place.
What kinds of acts of random kindness are we talking about? The possibilities are endless, so think big or small! But here are some examples to get your wheels turning:
- Give a genuine smile to everyone you see
- Leave flowers at a stranger’s door
- Bring food to the homeless person you pass everyday
- Make sandwiches or biscuits for your local firemen
- Pay for the person’s coffee in the queue behind you
- Pick up rubbish everywhere you go
- Collect picture books for your local women and children’s shelter
- Bring toys to the nearby children’s hospital
- Call a friend who’s been having a hard time
- Have your kids make cards for folks in an assisted living facility
- Leave change taped onto a vending machine
- Leave a really nice tip for a waiter
- Collect toiletries for the local homeless shelter
- Bring a loved one an unexpected gift
- Offer to watch a friend’s children for the day so they can have some down time
- Take in your neighbour’s bins
Whatever you do, don’t forget to leave a Kindness Card to let everyone know that your act was done in honour of Kitty. And go on to the Facebook group page Kitty’s Kindness to let us know all about the kindness you’ve spread in her honour. We have hard copies of the Kitty’s Kindness Card if you live nearby, or you can print some out yourself right here: Kitty’s Kindness Card.
Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts. Now go spread some Kitty’s Kindness out there ✨
