Good Morning Year 6,
Hope you are all keeping safe and keeping busy at home
We are now going to upload a blog and a video daily, explaining the tasks for each day. If you go onto the school spider to ask any questions you might have and you can also upload your completed work here.
Today in Maths we are going to be looking at BIDMAS - this is the correct order to complete an equation when there are different operations. We have uploaded a worksheet for you to complete, you will be able to find this on the school spider. On the weekly timetable of work you will be able to find some links to videos.
English - Is looking at deforestation and the impact this can have. If you go onto the school spider you will be able to find the links to the videos and further information.
In the afternoon you will be doing Art which is starting to look at some pieces of South American art and starting to recreate some pieces of art of your own using inspiration from your research.
Don't forget to take plenty of breaks and maybe try to do some excersise or get some fresh air.

Hi Year 6,
We hope you have continued to enjoy the lovely weather we have had again this week. We certainly have been enjoying the lovely sunshine.
Last week we set you the task to send us any questions you have for your High School, we didn't recieve any questions from you. It's absolutely fine if you don't have any questions but please don't be afraid to send a question in if you do think of one.
We have set more tasks for you so please watch our video. This week it involves lots of writing and using those brilliant imaginations of yours.
We hope you are all staying safe and we will speak to you next week.

Happy Easter Everyone!
So sorry this is so late today.......I was distracted by the chocolate eggs this evening.
I hope that you have all had a lovely Easter and I am sending love from my family to all of yours at this holy time.
I hope that you enjoy the story - it is the last one of the book - by tomorrow I promise I will have found another book to read together.
Until then....stay safe, stay smiling and stay kind.
Love from Mrs P X
Time For A Story - Day 9, by Mrs Parry
Date: 11th Apr 2020 @ 5:36pm
Dear All
Happy Easter Saturday to everyone! It is a strange kind of Easter isn't it? But I do hope that you have found a safe way to enjoy a little of the sunshine and you are being creative with your time - if you are stuck for ideas of things to do make sure that you check out your year group blogs by your teachers. They all miss you terribly and send their love this easter time.
Today's story is about a revolting dinner lady - fortunately I have only ever met wonderful people who cook and serve our school dinners so this was not an easy one for me to relate too! Please enjoy and watch out for my cat Nelly who clearly does not enjoy my Nasty dinner lady voice. Wait until you see what she does!!!
Until tomorrow - Stay safe, stay smiling and stay kind.
Love from Mrs P X

Hey Everyone,
Happy Good Friday to you all! I hope that you are all safe and well and enjoying the sunshine in a responsible way. My hands are still sore from last night's #clapforcarers - I really hope that some of you went to your doorsteps and joined in.
Now today's story is all about The Incredible Bulk - a PE teacher who talks a good talk, does very little sport but wears the most fabulous tracksuits. Enjoy........this one is really funny.
Stay safe, stay smiling and stay kind.

Hopefully you will have watched this week's edition of Happy News - If not what have you been doing????
On it we are suggesting a range of fun challenges for you to undertake during, what would be, your Easter holiday. Please do your best to try them out and if you have any photos you want to share then post them on the school twitter, Facebook or send by email. Miss Houghton and I are looking forward to seeing you all with dusters in your hands or pushing mops around a kitchen.
Stay safe, stay smiling and stay kind.

Time For A Story - Day 7, by Mrs Parry
Date: 9th Apr 2020 @ 4:52pm
Hi there guys!
Thank you so much for tuning in again to listen to another of Mr Walliams' stories. This one is pretty dramatic but nowhere near as gruesome as some of the others! This is a story about Miss Palaver, the dramatic drama teacher and believe me, she is quite a diva!!
Once again, thanks for all your messages and 'Shout Outs'. Your teachers are really finding comfort in knowing that you are all safe and well.
I hope that you enjoy the story and, until tomorrow, stay safe, stay smiling and stay kind.
Love from Mrs P X
Time For A Story - Day 6, by Mrs Parry
Date: 8th Apr 2020 @ 6:27pm
Dear Heroes
How are you all? I have had a lovely day in the sunshine but my family are sharing a sense of cabin fever......it is hard being without your friends isn't it?
I have been in school today and it is really strange without you all there - but I promise we are all just hoping you are well and safe and looking after each other. Today's story is one of my favourites and is all about Miss Seethe who is a deputy head.... desperate to get rid of the 99 year old head teacher so she can take over. It really made me giggle.
Thank you so much for listening to the stories and for sending in your shout outs - that makes it all worth it.
So, until tomorrow, stay safe, stay smiling and stay patient.
Love from Mrs Parry X
Time For A Story - Day 5, by Mrs Parry
Date: 7th Apr 2020 @ 3:48pm
Welcome back anyone who is still enjoing the stories!
I will apologise in advance for the lack of shout outs today - I was mad busy and only just managed to get this story recorded in time. I will make sure that everyone who has sent messages gets bigger SHOUT OUTs tomorrow.
Today's story was a challenge to read in more than one way. It is (as David Walliams himsef describes) a Horror Story and it almost had me cry. It is full of snot, earwax and noxious gas emissions.........listen only if you dare!
Until next time - stay safe, stay smiling and stay kind.
Love from Mrs P. x
Time For A Story - Day 4, by Mrs Parry
Date: 6th Apr 2020 @ 5:24pm
Hello Everyone,
Happy Monday to you all! Here is Day 4 of our reading - Miss Conceit the Human Work of Art - a story about a very conceited and un-humblish teacher! Obviously all these stories are totally made up by the great David Walliams but my own daughter suggested this teacher reminded her of me!!!! I am not sure what she means.
Anyway, I hope that you enjoy it and I hope that you are all safe and well this evening. Please keep posting your messages to your teachers - they really are making us all smile and reassuring us that you are all OK.
Until tomorrow, keep safe, keep smiling and keep washing your hands.
Love from Mrs P. X
Time For a Story - Day 3, by Mrs Parry
Date: 5th Apr 2020 @ 6:20pm
Hey Everyone,
So it is Palm Sunday and it seems strange that I am not at church, waving palms and singing Hosanna!
Instead I am recording this story for you and I really hope that you enjoy it. Today's story is called Miss Spick the librarian and there is an unexpected visitor while I am trying to read!!!!
Thank you all for your messages to the staff at Our Lady's - we all love to hear that you are safe and well and it means so much to know that all these cringeworthy videos we are posting are worth it!
So, until tomorrow, keep smiling, keep safe and keep looking for rainbows!!
Love Mrs P.XX

Hello Guys,
Here is the second installment of The World's Worst Teachers by the wonderful David Walliams. This story is about Mr & Mrs Lovey-Dovey which certainly sounds cringeworthy but made me giggle. This one also includes a fleeting appearance by my naughty cat - just for you Year 6! I have loved reading all your messages on the school FB and it is amazing to hear you are all keeping well.
Until tomorrow - Stay safe, stay happy and stay smiling. See you soon.
Love from Mrs Parry XX
