Hi everyone
This is my written piece about the differences between home school and being at a school.
Home school and being at school are quite different. For example at home you don’t have a massive gym hall but you do at school.
At home when I’m doing school I’m surrounded by my pets and I like it because it keeps me calm and relaxed.
When I am doing home school I only have two people in my class and the people are me and Rory. It is not the completely fun having your brother in your class but that’s probably me getting used to it. Not only do we have a small class we also have a smaller playground. It’s ok having a smaller playground because we still have a trampoline. The classroom also looks very different because there’s two TV’s and a sofa.
I’m going to be talking about being at school now. At school I was able to see my friends much more and the teachers and I miss my friends and the teachers. We also have actual school chairs and tables at school which is a lot better to lean on. All of us also have to wear school clothes but for home school we don’t. At school we also have a lot of computers but we don’t at home.
Here are some parts of school that are similar. We have similar school supplies like pencils, pens, rubbers and colouring pencils. We also do similar maths like school.
I wish I was back at school because I miss my friends.
Other work
I’ve been keeping up my 5 a day maths problems – I’ve been doing a mix of medium and spicy. There was one spicy one that even had mummy a bit bamboozled for a while. I’ve also been doing Sumdog. For literacy I’ve been practising my spelling and I also did the venn diagram to help me plan for the piece above. I’ve also been doing my half an hour a day of House with the chicken legs. Yesterday we also covered inherited characteristics. We did the monster task and this is my monster family babies.
That’s all for now. I hope everyone is well.
Bye for now. Cleo
I am jealous of everybody that has a trampoline in their garden, you are all so lucky! Are you keeping in touch with any of your friends from school Cleo? Well done for trying some of the spicy maths questions!
That’s a very well balanced piece Cleo, you’ve thought about both school and home well – great that you planned it using a Venn diagram. What I’m hearing here is… school would be better with pets?
Great piece of work Cleo. Well done!
Hi Cleo – could you label your monster pics – I’m trying to work out who the parents are and what they have inherited – I know…it’s because I’m a teacher. Your drawings are terrific by the way!
Balanced piece on school – BUT why do pupils not mention learning, pets, uniform, furniture, gym halls…no learning?! 🙂
Great work – thanks Cleo.
You have put a lot of thought into this Cleo – well done. As Miss Dale says though, it is interesting that no-one seems mention all our learning at school. Why is that?
Hi Cleo, some very interesting points here. There are a lot of differences between school and learning at home. It’s interesting you mentioned the tables and chairs. Since working at home I have noticed my kitchen chairs are not comfy for doing work on. I prefer the chairs at school! The main thing I am missing is seeing all of you guys and the staff – it’s great that we can keep in touch on the blog but it will better when we can actually see each other in person again!
