This week, I set the children the challenge of using green screen technology at home to create a short video or photo. This is my short Lego Star War movie introduction (excuse my son’s audio in the background) to provide some inspiration.

So far, I have received two videos and they are both amazing. Firstly, Jamie send me this video which I think is possibly inspired by Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak.

Jemma decided to combine two of our Google classroom activities and produced this green screen video about polar exploration. Fantastic!

I’m so pleased that the children have been able to learn new skills at home whilst having fun.

I also set an art activity this week with the phrase, “What I’m going to do!” as the inspiration.

Noah made this this as he is clearly missing getting outside with his friends.

Wint is thinking about taking a aeroplane flight to visit her family.

And Jamie has read my mind with this very evocative piece of art. Great work everyone!

I also posed a question on Google classroom this week about the current distance learning workload.

From the chart above, we can see that 85% of the 13 children who answered the question think that the number of activities per day is about right. I will continue polling the children to assure that we have got the balance of work just right.

Sorry I haven’t posted as regularly as I have been, but I was working in school on Monday and yesterday I have been experiencing problems with my broadband service at home ( bad timing!)

Lewis and Aatish have been trying the Try for 10! game with the playing cards in your Home Learning pack. It is not as easy as it sounds but Aatish is doing well in the photo above. One more move and you’re done!

Here is Ibrahim and Wint’s solutions for yesterday’s Countdown challenge. Great job! Remember to challenge your family and friends too.

On Monday, I put a question up on Google classrooms asking the children if they had done anything kind for someone over the weekend. Again, I put their responses into a WordArt and as you can see below, family feature heavily in their response.  I hope that everyone is keep happy and healthy during these unprecedented times, and I sure we will all come through this if we keep looking after each other.

Keep sharimng uyour photos with me and I will endeavour to post them here. Thank you Alesha for sharing this with me, it did make me smile.

Delisha has also been busy baking and decorating these lovely cakes.
