A poem from Mrs Stanley to NJS….

 

Wow!  Mrs Stanley has a secret talent!  She has written this poem to send her best wishes to you all; thank you Mrs S.

 

Hi there children, Mrs Stanley here

I’m sat in the garden having a beer

I should be in school, answering the phone

Listening to teachers having a moan,

Checking the registers everyday

Ringing the parents who forgot to say

“my child’s not in, they’re really quite ill

Doctor has seen them and prescribed a pill.”

 

Instead I’m at home most of the time

Ridding my house from all of its grime

Decorating, baking, knitting and reading

Hours in the garden doing the weeding.

 

I hope you are all doing your work

Stopping your parents from going beserk,

Doing PE each day with Joe Wicks

Staying at home to prevent getting sick.

 

Reading along with Miss Hardy at teatime

Watching NJS Grease and seeing us all mime,

Maths in the morning with year 3 Miss Watson

Monday to Friday, another week has gone!

 

We’re listening to Boris and staying at home

No school, no MacDonalds, no streets to roam,

Drawing dinosaurs and painting rainbows

Staying safe and watching flowers grow.

 

Out in my garden, I can hear birds singing

But I can’t wait for the days when the school bell is ringing,

I’m missing you all, children, parents and staff

Hoping Mr Moody will make us all laugh.

 

So, let’s do as we’re told, let’s stay in

Let Mum, in an evening, have her gin,

Do some work, have some fun,

Get in the garden and enjoy the sun.

 

Let the weeks hurry past

And let schools not be the last

To return to the norm

And get back into form!

 

Stay safe everyone and hope to see you soon,

Mrs Stanley xx

Year 5 Home learning Monday 27th April – Day 16

Dear Parents and Year 5s,

Please find attached the year 5 home learning activities for tomorrow. If you split your day and have more of a structured timetable then this may help you to become focussed. Add into your timetable when you are playing in the garden, going for a bike ride/walk, helping with the cooking/cleaning etc – remember all these skills are still learning!!

Please bear in mind the following:

  • These activities are a guide for what you might work through with as a year 5 child.
  • You may wish to complete additional work using the links provided on the school website or suggestions on the NJS Home Learning information page in the Home Learning books.
  • If the activities provided are too challenging or too much for your child, please adapt the work or amount that you do. There is no obligation to complete every activity set each day. Sometimes the tasks may take too long – don’t feel as though you have to complete them all that day, you can always catch up tomorrow! Likewise some of the tasks set are designed to be completed across the week – we have tried our best to emphasise this on the slides!
  • TTRS and learning off by heart times-tables, general reading, spelling patterns previously sent home are all also very important – these can be completed across the week to suit.

All three teachers are looking forward to seeing your work – please feel free to email any work you have completed to us so we can look at it. Also let us know if you would like any work sharing as we can publish it on our school website (the year 5 page) so other children in the year group can see what you have completed.

Make the most of this extra time at home to enjoy and learn things you wouldn’t normally have time for.

Stay safe and keep smiling!

Love Miss H, Mr M and Mr L x

Which apps / software should I let my children use?

Dear Parents,

If, like me, you have struggled at some point to decide which apps your children should or should not access online, or which apps or software are age appropriate, then this handy guide will help. It contains a range of information about most of the popular apps and sites currently used, including Houseparty, Zoom, Netflix Party, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Clash of Clans, Nintendo Switch, plus all the using social media apps.

https://parentzone.org.uk/advice/parent-guides

The site also contains a host of materials designed to address current concerns you may have about online safety. ParentZone also produces a regular newsletter, which is worth signing up for if you would like to keep ahead of current or trending online safety issues.

So give it a go – it really is very informative and useful!

Kind regards,

Mr Butler
