Sports Day preparations are well underway for our Sports Day on Friday. Today’s task was to plan the activities you are going to include in your big event.

Jemma has been very busy creating this very colourful play and practising her events in her garden.

Jamie’s plans are also taking shape and he has even taken the weather into account.

Lea has four events planned in her family-themed sports day.

Zac has been busy planning his on his computer. Good job! I particularly like the look of the closing ceremony. 😁

Alesha’s sports day looks like fun too. I am getting quite excited for the big day now.

You have been sharing lots of your Countdown solutions with me today.

Aatish was quick off the ball as ever with these two solutions. He likes to share his solutions in a private comment with me.

Delisha has been very methodical with her solutions. Great job and very easy to understand.

Friday marks the 75th anniversary of VE Day. We have been learning about what VE Day means through a reading comprehension and we have been doing some arts and crafts to celebrate this special day.

Lea has been making some Union Jack bunting to show our support for those who fought and died  in the war for our freedom.

Zac has been honouring our war veterans by delivering care packages and offering his support to neighbours who survived the war. What a great neighbour you are!

Zac has also completed our VE Day word search.

VE Day is not until Friday so if you have any plans to celebrate, maybe a tea party or decorating your home, please remember to share your photos.

I thought this photo showed great dedication to learning. Lewis has completed this week’s First News crossword by drawing the whole thing out. Great determination!

The big announcement on Google classroom today is that Friday the 15th of May is officially P623 Sports Day.  I will be posting tasks and activities next week in preparation for the big day, so keep logging on.

The Guess the P623 baby quiz is now active on our Google classroom. It’s super fun and a little bit challenging (nobody has full marks yet), so give it a try before I reveal the answers tomorrow.

Continuing our look at the life of ancient Egyptians, today we found out about their belief system and their various gods.

Both Jamie and Dylan completed this word search challenge on the gods of ancient Egypt.

And both Zac and Alesha cracked this code using Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Lewis drew this impressive Egyptian pharaoh.

Finally, Lea has created this artwork of Sekhmet the Goddess of War.

Zac has came up with this solution for one of our Countdown games…

… and Delisha has also solved it using a completely different method.

Yesterday was Star Wars Day and we had a few late submissions.

Wint created her own unique golden lightsaber.

Grace drew this picture of baby Yoda complete with levitating carriage.

Yesterday, we had a go at a book quiz with a difference. It’s a visual quiz called Book Islands and the goal is to name the book characters that live on each island. Have a go and see how many you can guess.

Our BBC Bitesize lesson was about teamwork but I also wanted to celebrate what makes us amazing as individuals. I posted a few activities that let us see everything that makes us special as people.

Zac. Fantastic work P623!

Today we also launched our “Guess the baby!” quiz with a teacher edition. It was great fun to see our teachers as children as unbelievable as that is.

As it’s the last day of the school week, I’ve given out lots and lots of well deserved digital badges, so check your Google classroom stream and congratulations if you won one.

There are three new badges added to our classroom and I’m currently making some more for next week. Which brings us around to my next announcement. Monday May 4th is officially Star Wars day on P623 Google classroom and I want to celebrate by showcasing the children’s amazing talent and creativity. Log on to our classroom to read more.
