Great team work – listening, justifying and compromise skills.
We had a brilliant trip to Whitehall. We went abseiling, mountain biking and stream scrambling!
Welcoming the new chicks to the Eyam family. They are so cute!

This week we will be focusing on learning more about racism and about the Black Lives Matter protests. We will be spending quite a bit of time in school thinking about and discussing the issues of racism, inclusion, discrimination and diversity. I have put a link below to a powerpoint which will help you to understand what is meant by the term ‘racism’ – please have a look at it with a grown up and discuss any questions you have.
I would also like you to read the news article ‘Black Lives Matter’ (PDF below) and discuss it with an adult. The second PDF is some information for your grown up to help them with your questions.

Dance Around the World
Active Derbyshire and the Derbyshire SGO Network have worked in partnership to develop a series of free dance resources that are aimed at KS1 pupils (although KS2 and foundation children may also enjoy taking part). “Dance Around the World” resources comprise of a video of approx. 10 minutes which includes a warm up, dance routine (linked to a country) and a simple worksheet to accompany each dance.
They have been designed so the routines can be undertaken while adhering to social distancing i.e. with a limited amount of space. Most of all they have been designed to get young people moving and having a bit of fun. Each week two more resources will be uploaded to the website and will be accessible on a Monday for the next 3 weeks. We really hope that you find the resources useful and the children enjoy taking part.

8th June
Hello again Squirrels,
For the next few weeks, it is likely that some of you will be in school every day, some of you in for one day or a few days each week and some of you maybe not at all. Whether you are at school, or at home, we are thinking of you and very much look forward to seeing you as soon as possible.
As most of you are either in school part-time, or still at home, I have gone for a plan which I hope will make things as simple as possible. For the next few weeks, I suggest that you use the Hamilton Learning At Home resources for when you are home-schooling. These excellent resources are all free and there is a pack per week for English and Maths with activities for each day. As well as activity sheets, there are also Powerpoints, help sheets and answer sheets so I think you will find them easy to use.
Log onto https://www.hamilton-trust.org.uk/blog/learning-home-packs and select Maths or English for either Year 5 or Year 6. I suggest that you start with Week 7 and do one pack for Maths and English each week until the end of term.
Alongside this, you can continue with the other activities that I have previously suggested, such as Maddie Moate’s Science, BBC Bitesize Daily Lessons and Seesaw activities.
Also, new from Monday 8th is the CBBC Celebrity Supply Teacher lessons which will be screened live every morning at 11am and then be on iPlayer. I saw Ed Balls talking about it on The One Show and it looks like it might be fun.
The other new resource for you to use is E-Bug, where you can learn about viruses and other micro-organisms. We will be using this resource in the classroom over the next couple of weeks and you can use it at home too.
Click on this link: https://e-bug.eu/ind_home.aspx?cc=ind&ss=1&t=Welcome%20to%20e-Bug and select Primary, then KS2 Lesson pack. There are lots of interesting and useful lessons and activities to do.
I hope you are all doing ok and still smiling!
Love from Mrs Dawson

Hello Squirrels,
I hope you’ve all enjoyed the break and some time outside in this amazing weather. I have set you a few new Seesaw activities for this week and here are a few more suggestions for other work to do at home. I am hoping that Twinkl will continue with the free materials so that you can access those too.
- Bitesize daily lessons – try to do the maths, English and one other each day if you can
- your Maths and SPAG CGP workbooks
- work from the maths textbook that you collected from school a few weeks ago
- daily reading
- Maddie Moate’s live science at 11am every morning
- Maddie Moate’s science videos on her YouTube channel
This half term, our topic will be ‘Mountains’ and my plan is for us to begin this next week. I will let you know more about how this will work when I know which of you will be in school and who will be at home.
Remember, I am always here for you and I will be in school several days a week if you would like to pop by and say hello.
Missing you all lots,
love from Mrs Dawson

A hello message from our Rector Mike especially for YOU! Hello from Mike
Hi Squirrels. I really hope you are all fit and well. I have devised some balloon fitness challenges for you all to do at home. Maybe you can do them with your family. I have created a YouTube channel so you can see the video (it is too big to load onto seesaw).
Click here for the Balloon Challenge video and join in the fun …..
Let me know what you think and send me some of your own fitness inventions for the next video…
Stay safe

Home Activity Challenges Week 5
A wonderfully mindful art activity for the holidays! A view through a window
Paint a picture from inside your house showing the window itself and the view you can see through it. It can be whatever you can see through the window – it might be your garden, some fields, the road, or the bins in the back yard.
Remember to look carefully – look for longer than you draw or paint for, use a pencil to sketch out your painting but use it softly so there are no heavy pencil lines. Don’t worry too much if your window is a bit wonky, don’t use a ruler! Think carefully about the composition (where things are placed in the painting) so that it looks balanced, you might have something on the window sill inside but don’t make it the main focus of the painting (like the mirror in the one below which gets in the way of the view through the window!) When you are painting you can exaggerate the colours a bit if the actual colours are not very bright – you could look at the paintings of the Impressionists who were a group of artists who used colour to give a particular ‘feel’ to their paintings.
What have we been up to in school …… gardening socially distanced and baking for VE day!

Read the story and then there are lots of different activities for you have a go at including SPAG, comprehension , geography, science and art. This this will keep you going until June.

Hello Squirrels,
I hope you have enjoyed the Easter holiday and spent some time outside in the lovely sunshine. I am missing you all and thinking of you – school is very, very quiet!
As this strange time of home learning is set to continue for a few more weeks at least, here are some more suggestions for work that you can do at home. I recommend that you use these three websites to do some English, maths and somethingelse each day: English Mastery, Mathematics Mastery and BBC Bitesize.
I also think you would enjoy the ‘elevenses’ free daily David Walliams audio story found at https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/

BBC Bitesize will have daily lessons covering maths, English and other core subjects from 9am on Monday 20th. They are new every day and are presented by some famous faces. I haven’t been able to look at them as they are not out yet but I think they will be a fantastic place to start each day.
Our topic for this half-term is learning about local geography such as our moorlands. You could find out about the wildlife that you would find in the Peak District moorlands and design a poster or a Powerpoint.
BBC Bitesize also has information and games in the KS2 Geography section ‘The natural world’. You could learn about a couple of different themes each week: ‘Weather and climate’, ‘Biomes’, ‘Mountains’, ‘Rivers’ and ‘Natural Resources’
I am in the process of setting up a Squirrel Class page on SeeSaw which you can use to send me photos of things you have done at home and also to have a go at some the lovely mental well-being activities.
Take care – be kind to yourselves and your families and be outside as much as you can.
