Hi my wonderful Elms,

How was your weekend after such a sunny week? Did anyone have a nice picnic or do any fun activities? I ate lots of ice cream and set up a paddling pool! I hope the sun continues for next week.

I can’t wait to see you all on Tuesday 14th July at 2pm for our Leaver’s assembly! It will be so nice to get you altogether one last time.

With more children in school home learning on the blogs will be reduced. On your blog you will have a home learning grid providing a range of online resources for you to access.  There will also be another home school learning pack available for you to pick up from the school office together with a summer holiday booklet for the children to complete over the summer holiday.
Packs will be available to be collected from Monday 29^th June.

Online packs for the next three weeks:

A video to make us think…

Good afternoon my wonderful Elms,

How has your week been? Have you done any fun activities this week?
I’ve continued to enjoy playing basketball and also learnt more about the movement Pop Art, which has been good fun!

Did you enjoy learning about Rainforests? Such an interesting topic, with so much to learn about, I’m glad we did this one this week. Can any of you share some fun facts?

My cool fact of the week:

Tropical rainforests cover less than 3% of Earth’s area, yet they are home to more than half our planet’s terrestrial animal species!

Well done to Danial and Jahmal for continuing to send in work, so lovely to see you engaging with the tasks and developing as independent learners! If anyone else has completed work, please send it in, I love seeing it!

As you are all aware, we haven’t been able to do lots of the exciting things we would normal do to finish Year 6 off with, but we are still going to do our awards and T-shirt signing with a slight twist! Read the letter below and contact the school to confirm you’re coming!

Year 6 end of year celebration letter

Have a wonderful weekend and make sure you all celebrate your dads!

Good Morning Elms,

How are you getting on? It feels strange getting to see some of you and not see others! Have you done any nice activities this weekend? I baked some cakes in the slower cooker, which tasted great, thanks to Miss Finch for the recommendation! I’ve now done another week back at school, which means I feel like i’m pretty much back into a routine but would love if we could be doing the production right now!

Did you enjoy learning about the space race? I hope you all listened to that exciting podcast, the man narrating is the man who creates Horrible Histories and I find him so funny!

This weeks theme is the rainforest!

I love the saying, “the rainforests are the lungs of the earth!” Reminds me to take a deep breath when I’m out on my walks nears the trees! I hope you enjoy this topic I would love to see more of your work this week so please send it in to:

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

Have a wonderful week, and keep staying positive!

Hello everyone,

Hope you’ve had a good week. We played lots of badminton at school this week, which has been nice to be outside playing games but showed I need a lot more practise! Have you tried a new skill this week?

Thank you to Danial and Jahmal for sending in work, really lovely to see what you have been up to at home. Can you now tell me any cool space facts?

This is my cool fact:

SPACE IS COMPLETELY SILENT.

There is no atmosphere in space, which means that sound has no medium or way to travel to be heard. Astronauts use radios to stay in communication while in space, since radio waves can still be sent and received.

It is important that wherever you are, you keep up your routine and keep completing some home learning, preparing yourself for secondary school.

For the weekend, watch this video and think… What if animals were round?

Good Morning Elms,

How was your week without the glorious weather? I miss the weather so much, hopefully this week will be sunnier. I’m back at school, which has really helped getting into a routine but I have definitely found myself a lot more tired in the evenings. How are you trying to keep your routine at home?

This week’s theme is Space!

We live in an amazing universe, last week we looked at explorers, and this week we go further to looking at the SPACE RACE and what else is out there.  I hope you enjoy this topic I would love to see more of your work this week so please send it in to:
admin@st-annes.wandsworth.sch.uk and put Elm in the subject line.

Good Morning Elms,

How was your half term? The weather was glorious, I really enjoyed going for lots of lake swims and cycle rides… What did you do? So May is now over, which concludes our Active May challenge, send in some pictures of you completing it to get your certificate!

So we are now in June, this year is all blurring into one, I can’t believe how long it has been since we were all together! From Wednesday, we are opening the school to year 6, which means some of us will be back together. I know this isn’t possible for all of you right now, which is okay, home learning is still a great option and remember how important routine is to keeping us gong.

We live in an amazing world, so many different places to explore, and hopefully learning about some famous explorers might inspire you for the future! I hope you enjoy this topic I would love to see more of your work this week so please send it in to:

Morning Elms,

Hope you are all well!  It was so nice to see more of your work this week. Thank you, Rayann, Jahmal, Danial and Joe! I really hope you enjoyed learning about volcanoes, I know I did! If you haven’t sent it work, I would really like to see your information leaflets on Volcanoes so please send them in!

I’ve seen amazing maths from Rayann and Jahmal.

Danial has been working hard completing lots of the tasks, including the RE.

Joe even attempted the volcano experiment!

Continuing to think about our mental health but this time here are some top tips for being kind to ourselves!

1. Put it on paper. Writing or drawing a picture that says “I like you” or “thanks for coming to my house to play” are easy things to write down and can mean a lot to the person you are writing to. You can even try writing a note of kindness to yourself!
2. Talk about the good things. Ask each person in your family to say one good thing about their day. This helps us to identify and focus in on positive experiences from the day. “I had fun playing soccer at recess” or “My lunch was extra-yummy” are all examples of good things you might say.
3. Lend a helping hand. Helping others can be a great way to show kindness – and it can make you feel good too! Help your little brother get dressed, clean up your books, or help mom wash dishes or set the dinner table.
4. Be kind to your body. Eating healthy foods, like fruits and veggies, and being active by riding bikes, kicking a ball or playing on the playground are all ways to show our bodies kindness. Getting lots of sleep is important too.
5. Encourage yourself. Go me! It can be easy to say unkind things about ourselves when we make a mistake or do not do well on a test. Instead, try saying encouraging things like “At least I won’t make that mistake again!” or “I just need to keep practising and I’ll be better every time.”

THINKING TIME…
