Here is a message from Miss Clementson (history lead):
The Spring term was our History term at Park Street and each class loved their history topic! It was so inspiring to see such a passion for history throughout school and see how much was achieved. With that in mind here are some links for you to use for learning at home. There is a wealth of information on the internet to inspire young minds so please take time to visit each site and look at the different topics. The history overview is on the main history page of the website so you can see the objectives for each year group but please feel free to explore all topics and immerse yourself in the subject! All websites will need careful monitoring from parents due to some topic content and links to other sites so please be mindful of this. https://www.dkfindout.com/uk/history/ This site has a wealth of information about a range of topics. It shows key artefacts and uses good key vocabulary for each topic. There is also a quiz to take part in when you have read about your favourite topic. https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/shows/horrible-histories Horrible Histories is a fantastic way to learn about history with a bit of humour too! There are lots of different activities and links to watch clips and episodes of the show. There are songs and quizzes and it covers a wide range of historical topics. https://www.natgeokids.com/uk/category/discover/history/ National Geographic Kids covers a range of topics including Ancient Greece, the Titanic, the Vikings and famous people such as Rosa Parks. A brilliant site for learning about your favourite history topics. https://www.youtube.com/user/EnglishHeritageFilm This YouTube channel teaches about cooking in the past. Mrs Crocombe teaches you how to cook through videos and it would be lovely to try this as a family! The cucumber ice cream looks interesting! There are also other videos including links to English Heritage places to visit and fashion tutorials. https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/learn/teaching-resources/ You may need to click on the correct key stage for learning activities and information on this site as some are aimed at Secondary school children. There are also some videos to watch and recipes to try. http://www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/history/index.html This website includes topics from the Celts right up to modern day history. There are many key questions and facts to learn and key vocabulary is explained well. http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/forkids/ This site is split into sections so you can learn about World History or focus on different countries within the United Kingdom. You can learn about different era's and famous people. Clicking on British History will open a lot of topics. There are also daily history lessons with links to videos. The BBC website has lots of information although is down at the minute so I will add the key stage links separately when it is back up and running.

Good morning Team JF,
I hope you are all well and settling back into learning after a relaxing Easter break. As you may have noticed, I have set maths and literacy tasks for this week, however, please take the time to look at our science page. There I have added lots of cool investigations for you to have a go at and some links to really useful websites. Remember to take lots of photos and send them my way as I would love to blog what you've been up to! Lots of love, Miss Fury :) I wanted to let you know about a Kickstarter campaign that has been launched. The campaign is the #SeeSportyBeSporty Girls and Sport Poster Campaign. At Park Street, we want to help spread the word to children and parents who might like to support it too. The link to the campaign is: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/totallyrunable/seesportybesporty-role-models-posters-of-girls To help, and hopefully spread the message I’ve attached an at-home task and competition. It would be great if we had some entries from our school. If you want to take part in the competition, email or tweet us a picture of your poster and we will send it to Totally Runable for you.
It may seem a long way off but we are making plans for our Year 5 residential trip in March 2021 (for current Year 4 pupils). For the last few years we have been lucky enough to take our Year 5 pupils on a residential trip to Kingswood. It is an excellent and exciting learning opportunity. Please refer to the information attached below giving full details. If you could text school back with yes or no so we can see how many pupils are interested in attending.
Sir Linkalot (which is a fantastic app to support spelling) is kindly giving all parents and schools free access during lockdown to enable children of all ages (4 years old upwards) to have Sir Linkalot Time at home. There will be a daily midweek 30 minute show online, starting this Thursday at 2 o'clock, on Sir Linkalot's Facebook page and Youtube channel, featuring Countdown's Susie Dent. There are two obvious benefits in using this whilst children are currently learning form home: one, it would most definitely raise their literacy levels and, two, it would make life a whole lot easier for you! It is not solely for spelling, however. It's covering the whole of the technical requirements of literacy, i.e vocabulary, homophones, punctuation, grammar, rules and patterns. So, it very much applies to older children as well.
To access the content, you can do this in one of two ways, either downloading via the App Store or on a laptop/PC. Please note, once you have downloaded the app from the App Store (small problem with Androids at the mo), tap on the log icon (for 'Log in') at the top right. You can also view it on a laptop or PC. Type in the browser itself (not a search engine)... app.sirlinkalot.org and follow the above instructions (the log icon is for 'log in'). Further information of log on details will be sent out electronically. Keep up your super spelling :) Whilst coronavirus is infectious to children it is rarely serious. If your child is unwell it is likely to be a non-coronavirus illness, rather than coronavirus itself. Whilst it is extremely important to follow Government advice to stay at home during this period, it can be confusing to know what to do when your child is unwell or injured. Remember that NHS 111, GPs and hospitals are still providing the same safe care that they have always done. Here is some advice to help:
Hello Team JF, I hope you have all had a wonderful two weeks over the Easter period and managed to spend some quality time with your family. It does still seem a bit odd to be restricted to the house and garden but please know that it is for the best and hopefully things will return to 'normal' soon. Below, you will see some resources linked to Literacy for you to have a go at as part of your home learning tasks. Please also visit the White Rose Maths website for your Maths Learning. Take care and stay safe! https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/ https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-4/
Thank you for all your hard work during the past term and a huge well done for taking your learning home and working so hard, even when you’re not in school. I am proud to say I have the most amazing children in my class!
As we begin the Easter Holiday, I would like you to have a little break, spend time with your family, enjoy playing in the garden and make some memories. After the Easter Holiday, I will blog some more learning for you to continue to work hard with at home. I miss you all lots and hope to see you emailing in some of the amazing things that you have done during the Easter Holiday. Have fun!! Miss Fury Please find attached a guide to support child understanding with Coronavirus.
A little Easter craft idea for you to try! They look very fun to design and create :-). Follow the instructions below. Materials you will need:
7. Cut a length of string – that is long enough to loop through your paper clip and fit the length of a book. 8. Loop around your paper clip. 9.Then glue between two eggs. You have created your bunny bookmarks! |
