Well done to Grace from 5B for her fantastic interpretation of a famous painting of Claude Monet painting outdoors.

End of term dates

Dear Parents,

I do hope you are all well and keeping safe.

I am writing again to continue to keep you informed. The school year will finish for all children on Wednesday 15th July, including for the children of key workers.

We plan to open school on Thursday 16th July and invite Y6 children only in to do something special for them, as they will be starting at various secondary schools in September. This will of course be subject to social distancing and will involve the Y6s being in small groups, as we have been doing with the pods. Further details will be sent out to Y6 families but we do wish to stress that this could change should new guidance come in for schools before then.

Clearly, these dates are all open to change as we are still awaiting news about what will be expected of schools in September. We also have not been told if school buildings will be used over the summer holidays.

As always, I will update you when I know more. Thank you once again for your continuing patience.

Ideas for home – 18.6.20 🔎⏲

Escape the library – Interactive PPT 🔎

Apply learning and challenge reasoning and problem-solving skills with this fun World Book Day-themed group activity. Students are ‘locked’ in a library and must solve a range of maths, punctuation and grammar puzzles hidden in the room in order to find the eight-digit passcode to escape the library. It’s a great, interactive activity to engage and motivate students! Activities are based on the year 3 national curriculum objectives.

Time Conversion – Maths ⏲

Use these differentiated worksheets to help your children develop their understanding of how to convert between seconds and minutes. There are questions for your children to answer to show they can convert units of time.

How to convert Seconds to Minutes?

There are 60 seconds in one minute. To convert seconds to minutes, this can be easily done by dividing the number of seconds by 60.

For example: How many minutes are in 300 seconds?

300 / 60 = 5 minutes

To convert minutes to seconds you can do the opposite using multiplication.

For example: How many seconds are in 5 minutes?

5 x 60 = 300 seconds
