Happy Friday everyone!
After feedback from parents, teachers and children – we have decided to freshen up our home learning routine. LBQ will still be used but less so than previously. In its place, we will be using National Oak Academy to provide online teaching which will provide more support to your children whilst providing a wider range of subjects. Daily links will be provided for all lessons. Once on the site, most lessons start with a quick introductory quiz, followed by a teaching video, followed by an activity and a recap quiz.

Year 5 will now have a reading solutions login. You will need to visit https://readingsolutionsuk.co.uk/ and login.

Hi Doves!
As previously mentioned in blog posts, the access to the reading websites have now changed.
Usernames and Passwords will be sent out for reference and there are examples of usernames and passwords found below.
Year 5 children will now use Reading Solutions.
Usernames: - Firstname+First initial of your surname e.g. (MissF) - Captital letters are required for the first initial of both names
Password: qwerty - no capital letters. You are able to change this if required when you log in.
Year 6 children will now start using Read Theory.
Usernames - firstname_surname1 e.g. miss_fairhurst1 (no capital letters required)
Password - doves123 (no capital letters required)
Y6 children you must complete the initial assessment. Please make sure you do that this week.
The expectation still remains the same.
All children MUST complete 5 comprehensions weekly. Not many children are doing this - it is important that you read and I will be tracking the number of comprehensions completed. Well done to those who always complete it :)
Thanks,
Miss Fairhurst

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvwwxnb/articles/ztcp97h
Remember:
Direct speech is 'a repeat of the exact words spoken'.
Inverted commas "___" are used to show direct speech and they are used at the start of the direct speech and at the end.
A reporting clause tells you who said it and how they said it.

Good Morning Doves!
Its JUNE! Can you believe it? Because I certainly can’t. I haven’t seen you all in such a long time now, I am really missing you all and all the fun we have in the classroom!
I hope you all had a lovely half term and week of rest. The weather was BEAUTIFUL, so hopefully you made the most of it. I went on a bike ride, made an Areo cheesecake and popped into school to see the children 😊 I’d love to see what you spent your time doing so make sure you post to share on the blog.
Today's Home Learning:
1.English and Science- phu
2.Maths - zkh
3.Reading Solutions / Read Theory (Y5)
4.Writing/Spellings – I have posted two new discussions with your weekly spellings and your writing task. Remember these are both due in on Friday. (How to access this: School Website, Pupil Login, Username and Password, Verification Code – 956789-, discussions). If you are not sure what your username and password is 1. Check School Spider OR 2.

Writing/Spelling
This week’s writing task is a 500 word story! It links to a competition which BBC Radio 2 host yearly. Although the competition is now over, it is a great opportunity to write about something you enjoy and good experience for the competition next year!
I have provided a wealth of resources and support to aid you with this writing task, if you need further help please comment on the discussion feed.
Your spelling task focuses on words with the /k/ sound spelt CH
Our Weekly Recommendation
This week’s recommendation is SUPER EXCITING!
JK Rowling is giving children the opportunity to have their drawings published in her new book - The Ickabog - when it is published in the autumn. There is guidance on what to draw as well as links to the chapters which have been released online.
Here is the link for further details:

SPAG Support - Task 1:
Today, your SPAG focuses on Apostrophes – The difference between plural and possessive.
Plural – More than one
Possessive – Belongs to someone
