School's back!

At last, we've reached the end of our home study period. We've all had lots of new experiences during this time, such as doing school work in your pyjamas! There have been positive things that have come from it, such as your ability to work independently at home. And you have all managed to use this blog well which shows your mastery of technology. Your parents have been fantastic, supporting you in your studies, although we are sure they will be more than a little relieved when you go back to school on Saturday. And as for us... Well, it's just not the same without you and we're looking forward to having you all back on Saturday!

As for our challenges... Lots of you tried to estimate Mr. Suter's height. Mrs. Williams has finally revealed that he is... 1m 84cms in his socks, so well done if you got close. Remember, an estimate is a sensible guess so give yourself a pat on the back if you were close.

How many of you have read the Hobbit by JRR Tolkien? If you had, you may remember Bilbo's riddles with Gollum under the Misty Mountains. The riddle "A box without hinges, key or lid..." comes from that passage of the story. Gollum had just as much trouble as some of you, but eventually realised that the answer was an egg.

A note from Mr. Gale for next week:
Year 5 girls will be swimming on Sunday for 4 weeks. The arrangements for the swimming lessons will be that the girls are to come to school in their swimming costume under their PE kit and when it is their PE lesson they will come to the sports hall and drop of their school bag. They will then walk across to the pool.

Please make sure that you bring all your home study work back to school on Saturday.

That's it for our final blog for now - have a fantastic weekend, an early night on Friday, and we'll see you fresh and raring to go on Saturday morning!

  2. I miss working at school. The atmosphere at home is different. I like working at school because I am working around my classmates. In school if we have a problem we can ask the teacher to help us. I prefer going to school rather than having work packs. I learnt that staying home most of the time is quite boring. I miss ICT,DT,ART,MUSIC and PE. At school we don't have to rush to finish our work. At school we have time to learn subjects unlike at home. I feel that we slack in our work when we have too much time off like we have now. I hope that school does not close like this again. I can't wait for school to re-open. I miss my teachers very much.

  3. i miss school it is not like home, at home it is boring and when your stuck theres no one to help ypu it is just not like school. but at school it is diffrent there is teachers to help you and it is more fun like experiments in science and i really miss speacilst lessons and at school i can play with my classmates and i can also work with my classmates so that is why school is fun and it is way better than home study im just glad that were back at school and i hope school never closes again

  4. It feels great to be back at school again. It feels much more comfortable to sit at a proper desk and be in a proper classroom and not have a cranky mum nagging you all day. Although it was fun having snacks any time I want. And I dont have to wrestle my sister any more for the seat facing the garden. But now that I am back at school im dont have to deal with cranky mums annoying sisters and the computer. It is great to be back and see all of my friends again jolly old Mr. Suter. i think 5s is the best class ever!

  5. It feels great to be back in school. All that work at home was quite stressing. It was OK that we got to study at home (mostly because I had my bed!), but I missed all of my friends and doing lessons with them.
    At first I thought it would be great to stay at home, but it was actually not as fun than at school (mostly because when I was working, my brother often played on the computer!).

  10. It's good to be going back to proper work than working with year 7s and 8s I don't think it's not cool if were not at school but I like be at school because my freinds are there but when your not at school most of them aren't on your compound.It feels different not going to school for a month and it feels weird to put on a school uniform that you havent worn for a month.So it's mostly great to be back.

  14. hi again i am writing to tell you more about coming back to school again. putting my uniform on this morning felt weird because I havent worn it for a month. when i put it on i felt clean and ready to work again. coming to school and seeing everybody and the playground felt like i was in a another place adifferent world.
    having snack outside was the best part becuse i get too see everyone and eat with my friends again and se my clean shiny school and the marble stircase and the clean white foir and the dt room and simply everything else!! it feels great

  15. It feels great to be in school again. Although I didn't like waking up early, I was eager to see my friends again.
    When I saw them while I was walking to the playground, I was overjoyed. I felt very good to see them once more. It was even better to talk to them.
    I felt very excited when the DT teacher told us that we were going to make out own loaf of bread next week. I'm very happy to be here again!

  18. Being back at school feels great!
    I get to see my friends.
    I like waking up really early but I only have a small breakfast.
    I really like wraring my school uniform, I like looking smart.
    Somehow I don't feel excited about being back at school than I expected.
    I was really scared about giving back my homework but it was fine.
