The Roundhay Adder!

Posted on Thursday 21 May 2020 by Mr Wain

Will has been hard at work with a very creative art project!

Will has come up with an idea that is sure to bring a sense of community and togetherness, whilst also sharing his own art skills and encouraging others to share theirs, too!

The Roundhay Adder is a snake made up of decorative rocks of which anybody can add to!

It currently stands at over 50 rocks!

Keep up the good work, Will!

Physical Activity: Challenge!

Posted on Friday 01 May 2020 by Mr Wain

On Monday, you may remember I challenged you to complete a physical activity of your choice – one that ensured you were safe, happy and healthy!

There have been some extreme talents on show this week – have a look for yourself!

Well done to these who have challenged me to their toilet roll challenge! They’ve done an absolutely fantastic job!

I’m sure everybody will agree that I certainly have my work cut out! Watch this space…

Another well done is in order – a response to my earlier challenge with 50 jumps on a Pogo stick – some with no hands! Crazy stuff – keep it up!

Watch here!

Keep checking back on our class news page for similar updates!

Keep smiling!

 

Physical Activity: Challenge!

Posted on Monday 27 April 2020 by Mr Wain

Hello everyone!

I thought I’d pop back in to wish everybody well and I hope that you are all managing to stay happy and healthy.

I have decided to create a physical activity challenge.

Below you will find a video of me doing 50 keepy-uppys!

Mr Wain Physical Activity Challenge

This is my physical activity – I challenge you to show me how you are keeping active and show me what you’ve got! Email your challenge to oliwain@spherefederation.org

Your challenge can be anything sport related just as long as you are keeping safe, happy and healthy – you can even magpie my challenge if you like!

Each week I will post a new challenge and if you send me yours, I will post them on here, too!

Best of luck!

Well done Year 4s on a great win. Special well done to Billy in Y4 and Talha in Y5 who contributed the most points for their teams.

Times Table Rock Stars BATTLE!

Posted on Thursday 23 April 2020 by Mr Wilks

Hello Y4 and Y5,

Tomorrow is BATTLE day on Times Table Rock Stars. Login anytime between 10:00am and 3:15pm on Friday to log a score. The year group with the highest score at the end of the day will be crowned the winners.

(Obviously, Year Y4 will win)

I’ve not done this before and I don’t know what it will look like at your end but it sounds fun and we all like a bit of competition! If you’re unsure of your login details, they should be in the front of your Home Learning books. If they’re not, email me or Mr Wain and we can help! My email address is paulwilks@spherefederation.org

Good luck and get practising (especially Year 4s)!

Welcome Back!

Hello everybody,

I hope you’ve all managed to get back into the current ‘norm’ this week after what I hope was a lovely Easter holiday for you all.

Just a quick note from me – I’m sorry the images for the home learning tasks weren’t showing properly/at all and I hope that it didn’t cause too much inconvenience. Thank you for letting me know, too.

I know it may still feel strange having to do your learning from home –  it does for me! Despite this, remember that we are all in this together and you are all doing a superb job at getting on with it and generally being awesome!

I miss seeing you all and I hope to see you very soon.

Here are some pictures of learning that has already taken place this term – it looks fab!

please send any pictures/videos or just general updates of learning to oliwain@spherefederation.org

What beautiful presentation, too!
