Mr Atkinson’s Comment

P6B pupils are now experts of Google Classroom! I am so proud and impressed with everyone’s hard work, resilience, helpfulness and resourcefulness. It has been great to see pupils working together and demonstrating the school values at our ‘hub’ school. My top contributors for the week are: Simone and Ayaan, well done! This week I asked some of the boys and girls of P6B to write about their week for the class blog. Thank you for sharing your experiences of home learning and the virtual classroom.

Austin

“This week P6B has been very busy with all their school work. Everyday we have had different tasks to complete and Mr Atkinson has been very helpful online . I have managed to do all my Maths and Literacy and even managed to bake muffins for Health and Wellbeing. I have particularly enjoyed listening to Chapter 1 of Stormbreaker and can’t wait to find out what happens next.”

Ayaan

“This week P6B have got up to a lot of different activities including Health and Wellbeing, Maths, Literacy and many more. We have been given tasks by Mr Atkinson from easy tasks to slightly difficult tasks but it has been an enjoyable week. Mr Atkinson has been giving us links to very exciting audiobooks including Millions and Stormbreaker. The week has almost finished but I look forward to the week ahead.”

“This week we have all done lots of different subjects. It was very difficult because it was our first week working from home. I really like the timetable this week. My favourite thing this week was Joe Wicks workout in the morning. I also liked the Stormbreaker book and the book Millions. I’m looking forward to so much fun and exciting things ahead.”

“This week on Google Class we have been getting used to not going to school. Mr Atkinson keeps us up to date on the things we need to do and makes sure we all have our logins and passwords. He also gives us a timetable for some structure, and whenever someone needs a bit of help, they can share it on Google Class and students or teacher can answer them. We have also been listening to Mr Atkinson and Miss Estlick read Millions. It’s the last day of the first week, but everything is going good!”

“This week was our first week of home learning. It was different as it was a lot quieter than school. We got into a good routine which included breakfast, Joe Wicks, Google Classroom and walking or cycling. I enjoyed that the work online was well organised and easy to follow. It was good that Mr Atkinson posted videos to let us know what we had to do each day. It was different having dad as a teacher.”

Home Learning – Update

• Wraparound Spelling– Spelling for the week should be completed on the appropriate Google Doc, please submit at the end of the week and not on a daily basis.
• Answers– Answers have been provided at the back of the maths workbooks for all the groups. Please self-mark or, if possible, ask an adult to mark them for you. You can share your maths work by putting a photo in the appropriate Google Doc. If you are finding any of the questions tricky please post in Google Classroom and I will help out.
• Handing in work– Please hand in your work when you are finished for example when you have completed your writing. Please hand in your work when you have updated it so that I can check what you have updated (for example like your home learning log). The teacher can return it to you, but you can also un-submit it.
