Hi Year 4/5,
Well, the summer is now here and we can relax, recharge our batteries and have a thoroughly well-earned rest. I would like to say how incredibly proud I am of you all for your hard work this year, both in school and at home. Have a lovely summer!
Mrs G-B
Dear Year 4 /5,
Well, here it is! We are finally here! It’s hard to believe that this is the end of our year together, and that the summer holidays are nearly upon us.
I hope that you have enjoyed all of the home learning that has been set over the school closure. I know that it hasn’t always been easy and I am really proud of you all for the work that you have completed. This is our last week of setting work, so I have given you some extra choice and some review work to sum up the year.
If you get bored over the summer and want something to do, you can always go back to any learning that you have not completed and give it a go!
Thank you for all your hard work over the last few months. Stay safe, stay smiling and have a lovely summer.
Mrs Giles-Brewster
Hi everyone,
I have been trying for the last week to upload a short story for you to listen to at home. Here is our first one (which has worked!) called The Steadfast Tin Soldier.
After you have listened to the story, here are some final thoughts (without giving much away!):
What do you make of the ending? Was it unexpected?
What did you think of the Tin Soldier’s predicament?
Were there any characters you particularly did not like? Why?
If you could have re-written the ending, what would it have been?
Hi everyone,
I hope you are all well and have had a super weekend. Please find attached our home learning tasks for this week. If you have any photos of work or activities that you have done at home, which you would like to share with the class, please email them across as I would like to do a post later on in the week.
If you need any additional help or have any questions, please email me on ngiles@dunnstreet.s-tyneside.sch.uk and I will get back to you.
Have a great week. Stay safe and stay smiling!
Mrs Giles-Brewster
Hello everyone!
I hope you are all well, and that you had a lovely weekend. Here’s our Home Learning tasks for this week. Please remember that Home Learning Packs are also available to be collected from the school office at any time during the school day, so if you cannot access this learning these packs are still available. Resources to support our English tasks this week can be found underneath our home learning plan.
Additionally, I will be back in school from Monday teaching the Year 5’s who are able to return. Because of this, my daily Google Meet sessions have been moved back to 10:30 – 11:15, so if you would like to take part please get in touch and we can get you set up.
As always, if you have any queries or questions please contact the school office or myself via email.
Many thanks,
Mrs Giles-Brewster
Good morning Year 4/5,
I hope you are all well, and that you have had a super weekend with your families. This week I would like to see as many pupils logging on to their Reading Plus/Lexia and TTRockstars accounts as possible. We are currently having a competition with Year 5/6 (which isn’t going so well for us!), so the more you log on, the more chance we have of winning!
Here’s our home learning menu for this week. If you have any questions or queries, please email me and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Our Google Meets are continuing this week (10 a.m. every weekday), so if you would like to join that would be great! Send me an email at ngiles@dunnstreet.s-tyneside.sch.uk and we will get you set up.
Have a lovely week and stay safe.
Mrs Giles-Brewster
Hi everyone,
I hope you all had a lovely week, and were able to get out and about this weekend. Please find attached our home learning for this week. If you have any questions or queries, email me and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
I am continuing with our Google Meet sessions, which are every day at 10:00. If you haven’t been able to attend yet but would like to, please email and we will get you set up!
Have a super week.
Mrs Giles-Brewster
Good morning Year 4/5,
Well! The weather has turned on us, and it’s back to coats and wellies for the time being! Let’s hope the weather picks up soon.
Here’s our home learning for this week. I hope you find it interesting, and are able to go on some of the virtual tours that I have found for us to explore!
I am hoping to see some of you later for our first Google Meet session. I can’t wait to find out what you all have been up to.
If you have any questions about the home learning tasks, or the Google Meets, please email me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Have a lovely week and stay smiling.
Mrs Giles-Brewster
Good afternoon Year 4/5,
Sorry about the slight delay in posting our home learning for this week. I was experiencing ‘technical difficulties’ logging on (something our class knows happens a lot in Year 4/5!).
I hope you all had a lovely half term, and that you were able to make the most of this beautiful weather we are having. Here are the activities for our home learning this week. If you need any further work, or would like something slightly different, just send me an email and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Have a lovely week and don’t forget to send some photos through, because it’s fantastic to see what you have been up to!
Stay safe and stay smiling,
Mrs Giles-Brewster
Hi everyone,
I hope you and your families are all well, and that you have been able to make the most of the sunshine. I have been sent some fantastic photos showing what some of you have been up to over the last few weeks, and couldn’t wait to share them with the class any longer! Can I give a big shout out to Rhys, who has been helping out with Bingo, gardening and even baking over the last few weeks; Mark, who has written an absolutely fantastic story called Super Pandas (attached at the end of this post) and three film reviews this week; Lily, who has been busy on Digimaps, Scratch, celebrating VE Day and even managing to design and create a fully working Lighthouse (wow!); Kacie, who managed to climb to the top of Penshaw Monument; and Isabella, who has created the most cosy reading den I have seen! Really well done everyone!
If you would like to see what Lily’s been able to make using Scratch, click here:
And, if you would like to get into the Bank Holiday spirit, Jacob and Ellie have been practising their Just Dance moves until they are FANTASTIC!
Finally, here’s Mark’s short story, titled ‘Super Panda’. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did:
