Live lessons
We have been really proud with how our Y5 and Y6 pupils have engaged in their home learning whilst isolating for two weeks. The children have enjoyed live lessons where they have accessed targeted teaching from their class teachers and enabled them to say hello to their classmates. They have also thoroughly enjoyed using Google Classrooms, the new platform we are using for home learning.

On another planet ...
Y5 have thrown themselves into their Immersive Reading Text, The Jamie Drake Equation. In a part of the story, Jamie’s teacher, Mrs Solomon, asks Jamie’s class, ‘Can you imagine an alien world?’ This got them thinking about what their own alien worlds would look like….
