Hi everyone! I hope you’re all making the most of the glorious sunshine!
Since the lockdown rules have eased slightly, I am going to meet my mum and dad in the park today. I haven’t seen them since March so I am VERY excited!
Here are some photos of your week…
Weekly check-in
Morning everyone, how are we all?
Here is your weekly check-in. Please leave a message by 3pm tomorrow (Friday) saying hello or letting us know what you have been getting up to this week. If you would prefer, you can email me instead (gw16pantonjennifer@glow.sch.uk).
This week I have mostly been reading (again!) Mr P and I have a Zoom quiz night with our friends every two weeks and it’s our turn to host! So we have been busy trying to think of good questions, we still have another week to perfect it! If you have any good questions, let me know!
I look forward to hearing from everyone.
J.K. Rowling
Good morning everyone. I hope you are all enjoying the nice weather we are having again!
I have good news for the J.K. Rowling fans… she has published a new book called The Ickabog. Now, she won’t be releasing the book until November but she is giving you a chance to read it before then. Every day, a new chapter will be published here:
She released the first chapter yesterday so if you start today you will have two chapters to read. She has also started an illustration competition where the winners will have their pictures included in the printed book! All the information can be found here:
Once you’ve read the new chapter, you could have a go at drawing the picture to go with it. Having your own picture in a published book would be pretty cool wouldn’t it?!
If you choose to read it, let me know what you think of it!
Home learning week beginning 25/05/20
Hello everyone, I hope you enjoyed your long weekend!
As always, tasks are only suggestions for you, you don’t need to complete everything if you don’t want to.
Literacy: This is an activity based on Harry Potter (again!) If you use the QR code, it will take you to a video link. Watch the video and have a go at answering the questions. It’s ok if you haven’t seen the film or read the books, the questions are just based on the video!

Pobble365 – Each day a different image is uploaded with a set of activities relating to the picture. If you don’t like the picture for that day, you can choose another day by clicking on ‘pick a day’ in the top right hand corner. Try to complete this at least once.

Here is another escape room for you to try! This time it is based on The Hunger Games. I must warn you, it is pretty tricky but I have every faith that you can escape!

Writing: I have another competition for writing this week. This time there is a chance for you to win a filming kit for your school. Sounds pretty good to me! You need to create a short video (between 30 seconds and 2 minutes) that describes your own lockdown story. Now, this can be a factual story in the form of a News Report or a Vlog (so you will be describing your own experience) or you can write your own creative story. The competition closes on the 29th June.
This link provides all the information about the competition:
You do not need to completely stick to this format but it may help with your planning:
Here is some more information that may help when you come to film your report:
Please read the full Terms and Conditions of the competition before starting to film. It is important that your entry meets these requirements and does not infringe on any copyright laws. For example, your video must not:
- Contain commercial names or trademarks owned by others or advertise or promote any brand or product of any kind,without permission, or contain any personal identification, such as license plate numbers, personal names, email addresses or street addresses;
- Contain copyrighted materials owned by others (including photographs, sculptures, paintings and other works of art or images published on or in websites, television, movies or other media or musical ‘samples’) without permission
I would suggest that you concentrate on the planning side this week, and perhaps even writing a script. You could leave the actual filming to next week, it’s a big project so I think it’s best to do it over two weeks.
If you are going to enter the competition, please send your entry to me (gw16pantonjennifer@glow.sch.uk) and I will send your entry in.
Topic: How did you get on with remembering the countries in Europe? This week you can build on what you learned last week and learn some of the capital cities of Europe! I bet you’re confident with some, like France, but what about the capital of Finland?! Use this video to help you find out and remember the capital cities of Europe:
Try filling in this worksheet. You should add other countries/capitals to the list.
European countries and capital cities
You can play the same game as last week, but select ‘capitals’ instead.
Have a go at this game to assess how many capital cities you know:
Art: I’m pretty excited about this art activity, and I think you will all like it too. Can you recreate a scene from a movie? I have included an example of me doing one, hopefully you can work out which movie it’s from!
Here’s another example I found which might give you some inspiration too…
If you have a go at this, please send me your pictures as I would love to see what you come up with!
ICT:
Nature in your Neighbourhood
Competition #2 for this week!
This great competition comes from the film club IntoFilm and is open for everyone aged 5-19 to complete with the technology you have at home, for a chance to win a home filmmaking bundle worth £300, and two runners up will each receive a year’s subscription to Netflix!
Here’s what IntoFilm say about how the competition will work:
“We’re asking young filmmakers to celebrate their surroundings by creating a 3-5 minute live-action or animated short that documents something they’ve noticed or appreciated while spending more time in their local area. Whether it’s a school playground, local park or even a view from a window, we want to see it.
Shorts can be shot using mobile phones, tablets or cameras, and our handy filmmaking resources are a great place to start.
Films should be submitted online along with a completed entry form by the closing date of Friday 19th June.“
Due to your age, you will need to get a parent/carer to complete part of the entry form for you.
Full details of the Nature in your Neighbourhood Competition can be found using the link below.
This is also a big project so you can continue on with it next week too.
P.E: Watch this video and see if you can challenge yourself! I have included the scorecard below too. Good luck! You can even try it again later in the week to try and beat your own score.
As always, stay safe and remember to send me any photos of your learning – gw18burnsidephotos@glow.sch.uk

Mental Health Awareness Week
Hi everyone, this week is Mental Health Awareness Week and the theme this year is kindness. Some of you may have already seen the message on the school app, but we would love to see pictures of your acts of kindness. You can either comment on this post or send me an email with your picture.
This is a very tough time for everyone, you need to also look after yourself and be kind to yourself. I have included some things that you might want to complete.

Weekly check-in
Hi everyone! How are we all this week?
Remember, we have a short week this week so if you could leave me a message to let me know how you are by Thursday, that would be great. If you want to email me instead, you can do that too.
So far this week I have been mostly reading my book which has been great! My current book has 560 pages and I think it’s one of the longest books I have ever read! I found out it has been made into a film too so when I’m finished I can watch that and compare. The book is always better than the film though, right?!
I look forward to hearing from you all!
