Week 12. Week commencing 13th July

I cannot believe that you are in the last week of term I hope by now you have all had contact with your secondary school. You may have even had your uniform fitted or met your new teachers. These are unique but memorable times. This week I would like for you to look back on your time at Bromet and think of the most important or funny events that you have experienced. Write them down, or create a small book that you can look back on in the future. Your task this week is to find out as much as you can about your new school.

Have a look at the transition attachment, if you haven't already done so. The tasks on here will help you prepare.

Home Learning Week 2 Week commencing 27th April 2020 

Please read before you start working.

Use the timetable  to guide you.

If you do not have a protractor to complete some maths questions then do not worry. I have uploaded a problem solving activity in Mathletics as well this week.
You need to look carefully at the success criteria for your Highwayman Writing task- it is in the instructions sheet which I have uploaded again. The box at the bottom. Have you included all of the features, is it the best vocabulary you could use, does it really engage the reader...etc? Please be your own critique, think how long it takes us in school to purple polish before you hand in your final piece.
You will see Weds has a file that says read first- to recap your skills, before you have a go at the work

If you do complete all of you English and Maths quickly this week- Please go to week 2 of BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/dailylessons and complete the lessons that are on there. You can have a go at the maths too, if you wish!

And finally, Picture News. I have numbered the documents so work through them in that order. One of them is purely the newspaper for you to read and another the British Value that this week's story connects to. I hope its easier this way!
Work hard and stay in touch! I do look at everything you send me even if I don't respond straight away!

Welcome  - Week commencing 20th April 2020.

Home Learning for Summer Term.

Dear Eagle Class, pupils and parents/carers. 

I hope you are all well and  have had an enjoyable Easter. Have you finished all of your chocolate?

You will find below attachments and instructions for learning from home activities. The tasks have been divided into separate sections. Maths, English and P.E. will be updated weekly, by 9am on a Monday.

The summer learning grid has been uploaded with instructions for you to work through over the next few weeks. Pupil choice so there is a mixture of activities

I have also uploaded resources in Google Classroom, these are scheduled to send by 8am tomorrow.  

Children, create a timetable that suits you, your family and any other learning that is going on in your house. Work on your maths and English everyday and make sure you exercise.

Add, email, or share your work if you can. I will be looking out for it.

Parents if you have any problems I am on the end of the admin@bromet.herts.sch.uk email as always. Or will post a general comment in to our classroom, if it is something that can be answered in this way. I do not expect you to print everything where possible I hope the children can work online and record in their exercise books.

Important Message

In this technological age many of the activities are internet linked, please remind your children of  safe use when on the internet . 

Thank you all for your hard work and continued support in these most unusual times.I really hope we see each other soon but in the meantime stay safe and well.

Mrs W. 

The grid is for you to work through during the next few weeks. Hopefully it includes instructions and links with additional information to help you work through. There is no particular order in which to complete each task however set aside time to work and organise yourself. This will really help you in preparation for future learning. Find ways to save on printing if you don't need to print information, don't. Use your exercise books to record handwritten entries, share word processed work and or photos in the classroom.

(Please note PowerPoint for R.E. Story is in Google Classroom as it the file was too large)
