Hi Cedars!

How are you doing?  I hope that you are all well.  It has been a busy week and it was really great to speak to some of you earlier in the week.  If I didn’t manage to get in touch with you, I will continue to try and hopefully will have spoken to you all by the end of next week.

A reminder, it is Father’s Day on Sunday in case you had forgotten!

Thanks to all the children who have sent in work this week.  I can see that some of you have been really busy.  I would like to say a big well done to Youssef who has been doing his Maths and English work as well as writing a lovely acrostic poem on our RE value of Humility.  I will try to get this copied and posted early next week.  Oliver as always, has had a busy schedule and he has been working everyday on his Maths and English.  Oli has also looked at Fair Trade issues and made his hand heart based upon our RE value, Love.  Well done Oliver, great work, keep it up!

Kye has been working hard this week on his Maths and English, well done Kye.  Keep up the hard work Kye!  Nour has also been busy with her Maths and English work, thanks for sending that in to me Nour and well done for keeping up with the work.  Louis has also had a busy week working on his Maths.  He has really been pushing himself and completing a lot of Maths challenges, well done Louis, keep it up. He has also been writing a diary, have a look below.

Good morning Cedars, how are you all doing? I hope you had a good weekend. Did you get up to any exciting activities?  I was busy in my garden, cutting the grass,weeding and planting some more vegetables. I even managed to harvest some of the vegetables I planted earlier in the year.  I had some courgettes and lettuce and they were really tasty!

I have been back in school for a couple of weeks now, teaching some of the Year 6 children who have come back and getting back into the routine of coming to school has made me miss you all even more.  I am going to try and ring you this week,

Here are your home learning tasks for this week.

Good morning Cedar Class,

How are you all this morning?  I hope that you are well and still enjoying your time at home.  The weather has certainly changed over the last few days but it is still nice enough to get outside and keep active.

It has been a big week at St Anne’s, with some children in Year 6, Year 1 and Reception returning to school.  It has been lovely to see the children back at school and they have all enjoyed returning to their learning and seeing some of their friends.  I hope that Cedar class will be back at school soon and I look forward to that day, hopefully in the not too distant future.

In the meantime, we will carry on with our home learning.  Please find below the hone learning page link.

Thursday Community

Our St Anne’s values this month is community.  In view of tragic death of George Floyd in the USA, at the hands of group of policemen, we have seen many communities coming together in peaceful protest at what has happened.   I am sure that many of you will have been talking to your children about these events and it is important that we all, no matter how young, have an understanding of equality and racism.  If you would like to explore these further, there is a link on the front page about the George Floyd case which raises some important discussion points and which you can use, if you wish as a starting point for these discussions

Dear Cedars,

Good afternoon, I hope that you are all well and have had a great week.

I have had more work sent in this week, so I know that some (I hope all!) of you have been busy.

Thanks to Oli, who has done some amazing maths work, well done. He also had a close encounter with a Canada goose! I wonder where that was.  Perhaps Oli will let me know and if he’s happy to share, I can add the picture to the blog. Oli has also been busy with some comprehension on Rosa Parks.  If you are not sure who she was please do try to find out because it will link with some work and discussion you can do next week.

Kye has been really busy too and he has sent in a great picture of him in his swimming pool!  Again if he’s happy for me to share it, I’ll post next week on the blog.  Kye has also been busy baking some lovely cakes, keeping his sunflower alive and when he has time, doing some maths work too!  You must be exhausted Kye.

Thank also to Youssef who has finished some maths work on fractions, well done Youssef, I can see that you have really worked hard on those calculations.

Louis has also been a maths whiz, well done getting your fraction work finished.  I really liked the pictures Louis sent in, showing him do a workout in his garden.  Were you following a Joe Wicks workout Louis? Let me know how you got on.

Well done to all those children, I really love seeing what you are doing.

I hope that you have a wonderful weekend and I will post your next set of work here on Monday morning.

Good morning everyone!  I hope that you had a great half term.  The weather was really beautiful and I hope that you managed to get out and enjoy it.

I managed to go to the beach last week.  It was a treat as we had  a family birthday, I even went for a swim, although I have to say that the water was a bit cold!  We took our dog too and she had a lovely time racing across the sand.

If you have any photos to send me of activities that you did over the half term, then please send them in to me;

admin@st-annes.wandsworth.sch.uk and put Cedar in the subject line.

It’s a really important week as we have some children in certain year groups coming back to school.  We are making sure that the school can run as normally as possible given the constraints currently in place and I know that the teachers are really looking forward to seeing the children and I hope that I get to see you all soon.

Here’s the work for the coming week, we are back to “normal” with our learning.

Good morning Cedars,

I hope you are all well.  We seem to have a few more weeks of learning from home so hang in there make sure you are keeping to your home learning routine and we hope to see you back in school in a few weeks.

In the meantime I have set some more work for you, thanks and well done to Nour for sending her work in to me.  If you do have work send to :

admin@st-annes.wandsworth.sch.uk and out Cedar in the subject box.

This week we are looking at mental health.  It has been a strange and for many people an anxious time. We have focused on our physical health but making sure that we are keeping active and rightly so, but it is equally important that we make sure that our mental health is good and that we feel strong and able to cope with these difficult days. There are some activities for you to do in your weekly work and it would be a great activity to do with your family.

I hope that you enjoy the home learning this week,  Please make sure that you are reading every day and if you can make sure you are reading as wide a range of books as possible.  Remember Sumdog has Spelling and Grammar as well as Mental Maths open on the site, so log in and have a go!  If you want to practise your times tables log in to your Times Tables Rock Stars account or try Hit the Button.

As we are still in May, please make sure that you are staying fit and active and keep going with the Active May challenge.
