Hello Snowy Owls!

I hope you all have a lovely Easter. We’d like you all to have a break from school work; however, I know we have lots of keen readers so I am sure that many of you will find this website interesting:

https://authorfy.com/

A parent or carer will need to sign up but it’s all free. You will recognise several of the authors from our Reading Spine. If nothing else, it is fun to put faces to names and to find out a little more about some of our favourite writers.

This is very topical and could be lots of fun! Good luck!

This is another great game.

You can play it online or make your own.

Don’t forget to keep using Rising Stars maths and GPS – I can see how well you are all getting on. There has been some impressive work on Algebra and Fractions! I have opened all of the missions up now, so feel free to pick and choose any areas you would like to practise.

The Year 5 and Year 6 children have been learning how to code. Just before the school was closed, we were about to make our own computer game using Kodu. If the children would like to continue with it, the link is here:

If you get stuck, the online tutorials are excellent.

There are some fantastic, practical ideas here for developing children’s science, technology, engineering and maths skills. The first four are aimed at children aged between 5 and 7; the others are for KS2 children. However, feel free to go with what interests you! If you click on the links, you will find a wide range of excellent linked resources.
