Class 9 Catch Up 26.4.20

Date: 26th Apr 2020 @ 1:43pm

Good Afternoon Class 9,

Where has that week gone? Is it just me that feels as though the hours drag during the day but the weeks just fly by? Very strange!

 

How has your week been? Have you kept yourself busy? Are we all enjoying this lovely sunny weather? If you are outside, make sure you are keeping yourself “Sun Safe” e.g. sunscreen, hat, sun glasses etc. Sorry, I couldn’t resist -must be the teacher in me!

 

I am happy to report that I have received lots more updates from you this week – which is great. Leighton has been busy completing his school work and challenges set by his Goalkeeping Coach. Who knows we may see him in goal for Liverp….. Sorry I meant Everton very soon. He has also been observing the planet Venus in his garden with all of his family – sipping hot chocolate. How good is that? Harrison has mastered cooking crumpets and sausages and has promised that he will make us all sausage butties for snack when we return – just kidding. Jack, has been busy relaxing in his hot tub in the garden, enjoying the glorious April sun and Max has been helping his dad in the garden, passing him heavy bricks and mixing cement. What an active class we have! Remember please feel free to email me and keep me updated with how you are doing or what you have been up to at [email protected]

 

This week, I have continued to walk daily, along the canal. Each day, we see the mother duck and her ducklings and they are growing rapidly. Pretty soon I would imagine they’ll be free from their mother and able to roam up and down the canal as they please. Have any of you grown? I bet some of you look really tall compared to when we last met in school.

 

 

I have also spent the week busy on the laptop planning some exciting lesson plans for future topics. I have really missed standing in front of you all and watching you engage in a new topic or concept. It doesn’t really have the same effect when I do it with the guinea pigs – they just expect some more salad wink

 

This lovely weather has really encouraged me to complete more exercise. I don’t have much fitness equipment at home – I usually rely on the gym for that so I have made use of things found around the house. It is amazing what you can do with some tins of beans and a tea towel. Give it a try!!

 

Has anybody been completing the challenges set by Knowsley School Sport Partnership? We are up to Week 3 already! However, there is nothing to stop you from revisiting previous week’s challenges if you want to push yourself or you are bored. This week’s challenge is a mini Pentathlon Challenge. How many events do you think that is Class 9? Think about the shape that sounds similar and how many sides it has. That’s right you got it – 5. Check it out on the website or school twitter page and have some home based active fun.

 

I hope you have had chance to visit the school website and have watched the staff “Toilet Roll Film.” We really enjoyed filming it. Did you spot the guest appearance at the end by Mr Woods? How well does he look! If you have any spare time why don't you try and make a film, even better than the staff one, showing us how you've been keeping busy at home and showing off your IT skills. Closing date for entries is Friday 1st May and you can email all of your entries to me at [email protected]

 

On Class 9’s class page on the website, I have added under the ‘Files to Download’ section a Covid19 Information Book. This is aimed at children and helps to explain what is happening and may answer any questions that you may have. Knowing Class 9 like I do – there will be lots wink

 

Finally, in relation to work and expectations – please do not feel obliged to complete all work set. You have lots to work with and I know being the dedicated children that you are, you are doing your best. The new work pack that was recently delivered to your house “Covid19” is a great activity to keep yourself busy. This period of time will be talked about for years to come and it would be a lovely idea to document some of your feelings/experiences during it. Each week, one piece of Maths and one piece of English will be added to the Class page (all dated week beginning…..) However, these are just additional pieces of work that can be completed at your own leisure. Any questions or problems please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

That’s all from me! Please remain in touch and please stay safe,

Until next time,

Mr Mawson
