Returning to School
Hi Class 6!
We are really looking forward to welcoming many of you back to school next week. I know that things may feel different and a little strange and I am so proud of the resilience and positivity you have shown throughout this unusual time.
School is going to look a little bit different because all of the grown ups are working very hard to make it a safe place for you to be in. Our classroom will look different and, depending on the group you've been put into, you may not be in the Y6 Classroom.
To try to help with this, I am uploading some pictures onto Googledrive which will show you:
Where you will line up in the morning
Where you will come in in the morning
What your group's classroom will look like
Make sure you check which group you are in first so that you open the right link. If you are not sure of your group, please check the letter that was sent out about this. If you are still not sure please message me on here or contact the school and we will be able to let you know.
I'm sure you will have lots and lots of questions and the teachers in school will be happy and ready to talk to you about anything and everything you're wondering and worrying about.
Well done for everything superstars! :)

Friday Virtual School Trip 08/05/20!
This friday, we are jetting off to the continent of Africa...! Using the Explore.com Live webcam feeds, from across Africa, we will be able to go on an amazing animal safari where we'll be guaranteed to see a whole range of incredible wildlife living in its natural habitat. The best part of all is that because it is live we may all get to witness slightly different things- some of us may even see some really rare sights.
As always, I have prepared a fact finding mission for you to try to complete as you go along, but please just explore the areas you find most interesting. The most important thing is that you have fun. There are lots of different webcams for Africa- explore the different areas underneath the webcam screen.
The theme next week will be on Africa and so the webcam link I am sending is for the African safari. However, if you look along the top of the page, there are lots of similar webcam links for many different animals and places across the world!

White Rose Maths
We've had lots of positive feedback about the White Rose Maths Resources that we've been uploading for Maths Home Learning each week. You may have seen an alert from White Rose informing you that, as of next week, White Rose will be charging for access to this resource. We just wanted to let you know that as a school we have signed up to the paid subscription service so the resources will still be free for you to access. The only change for you will be that the worksheets will now be available in a file that will be posted, by your child's class teacher, on Class Dojo and on Class Blogs, as opposed to being accessed via the link. The videos will still be available via the usual link.
Whole School History
On Friday 8th May, the UK commemorates the 75th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, Known as VE Day. This is the date that World War 2 ended in Europe. This week, leading up to that date would have been a whole school history focus week had we been together, learning at school.
So that we can still learn about this important time in British history, you can click on the picture above to access a pack of home learning ideas all focused on life during World War 2, and the celebrations of VE day. The pack can be used as a scheme of learning, where you work through the suggested activities in the order of pages, or you can dip in and choose to do anything you like the look of.
Guidance is given with each activity as to whether it is most appropriate for KS1, KS2 or whole school, including Early Years. We would love to see your VE day learning. You can upload onto ClassDojo, Tapestry, or send it to info@swinnowprimary.com with a note to forward it to Mrs Wyles and your class teacher. There will be lots of programmes on TV this week related to VE Day - look out for them to support your learning. All the resources you may need can be found by clicking on the links below.
Have a Happy History Week!

I have had lots of super uploads linked to our space theme this week, well done everyone. This week, I was really wowed by Matilda's amazing space rover.

English Home Learning w/b 06/04/20
We had so many wonderful responses to our Virtual School Trip to Mars that this week your English Home Learning Challenges will all be based around the subject of the space rovers.
In 2004, Curiosity's brother, Opportunity, was launched into space and set the mission of exploring Mars. It was only supposed to stay for a few months but ended up traveling the planet for the next 15 years! Unfortunately, in 2018 there was a terrible dust storm on Mars and NASA lost contact with Opportunity rover. The final message that NASA received from the bot was very sad. It is reported that Opportunity sent the message, 'My battery is running low and it's getting dark now'. This was the final contact that NASA had with Opportunity before they lost track of the rover completely.

We're continuing to look at Harry Potter this week as we consider the villainous figure of Dolores Umbridge. Think about how you can use your figurative writing skills to describe Umbridge. If you were to personify or use anthropomorphism to describe, for example, her eyes-what could you liken them to. Are her eyes steely sitting still as they challenge Harry and Hermione with their gaze? Or are they darting, back and forth, like an adder ready to strike? Challenge yourself at home.

Under 11s Writing Competition!
Do you want to be in with a chance of wining £100? We have some fantastic writers in Class Six and now you could have the chance to show off your writing skills in this super competition. All you need to do is call someone over the age of 60, perhaps a grandparent, and ask them to tell you an interesting story from their life. Then, you have to retell that story, using whatever form you wish. You may choose to write a newspaper article, a diary entry or narrative form. The story itself MUST be true but you can choose to tell it using whatever means you wish. If your story is chosen then you could win a prize of £100!
Watch the video below for more details.
