Good morning everyone,
I hope you had a fun and relaxing weekend?
Today is the first day of Hedgehog class trying to use Google Classroom to access set learning activities. The intention is for everyone to have moved over to using it by the end of the week. With that in mind I will post work on both this blog and on Google classroom for this week but will discontinue using the blog for posting learning after Thursday 7th May, Friday 8th May being a bank holiday. The blog will revert to being used for short messages and photos etc, as it used to be.
I have added here a copy of the google classrooms guide which will help your parents log on. Click on the Google Classrooms Parent Guide below for the guide.
You have to create your own email in the format as set out in the guide (firstnamesurname). These have already been created by school but we are unable to add a list here for GDPR reasons. One or two of you have complicated surnames - if that is you, please contact me asap to ask for the email details that have been created by school for you.
The classroom can be found at: https://classroom.google.com/u/4/c/Nzg2MTU0ODQ0Nzha
Password to join is: nyxpdhf
P.S. Make sure you are logged out of all your google accounts.
I have added a screenshot of the front page of the classroom. This is from the ‘stream’ page. To access lessons, you need to click on ‘classwork’ (top, of screen, second from left).
If you have any difficulties logging on or accessing Google classrooms please email Paul Hannan on pkpsgooglesupport@plaistowandkirdford.org for support.
Once you have joined Google classroom, I will be able to assign work to your child. Occasionally it might be set for specific children where it may be more appropriate. For example if they are struggling with a certain concept.
Please note, most of the time I will not be providing individual feedback on the work. I will be providing the answers the next day in order for the children to self-mark their work. I am absolutely happy to answer queries or make suggestions if they are stuck on any concepts etc.
Today’s work is on this blog post as well as on Google Classroom.
Please get in touch if I can help you with the transition over. I will be sticking to normal working hours, 8.30 - 3.30, as I need to home educate my own son and plan your learning for the next day! However, I will do my best to respond the same day or the next.
Today we are looking at the story called What If? by Anthony Browne and working on identifying and using nouns and adjectives.
In Maths, we are starting new work on position and direction.
Both Maths and English have chili challenges, so make sure you choose the correct challenge for you.
Times Tables Rock Stars latest news
Hmmmm, some of you have not logged on to play since the 13th March. If this is you, I would really like you to give it a try this week. Practise is the key and without it you are going to struggle with your times tables and problems solving.
Well done to those of you have been logging in regularly and working hard to master the times tables I have set you. Congratulations Maisie W, you have made it onto the leaderboard and Arabella is now an unsigned act! There has been a lot of movement in who has the most coins, with Arabella remaining the richest but Ronan is chasing her hard. This is getting quite exciting!
