Own It app

Posted on Tuesday 08 September 2020 by Mr Roundtree

Has you child got a mobile phone? If they have, do the have the Own It app from the BBC?

The Own It app helps children and young people take control of your online life. It gives them advice when they need it, in real-time as they type. It’s designed to help them make smart choices, feel more confident, and live their best life online.

The Own It app comes with a special keyboard. This can be used like any other keyboard, but it also gives users helpful tips and friendly advice as they write.

There’s also the ability to track how they feel and improve their wellbeing. There are plenty of gifs and emojis so users can express themselves.

The Own It keyboard and app is personal to the user. Everything your child types is kept completely private, and never leaves the Own It app on their phone.

Happy Friday, Y5!

It’s the last day of term and what a crazy year this has been!

Miss Wilson and I would just like to thank you all, both adults and children, for all your hard work – not just over this tricky lockdown period – but the entire year. It’s been a pleasure to work with each and every one of you.

Today is the final part to our Dragon’s Den task!

First up, your first task is to present your sales pitch to someone else at home or video it and send it to me. You’re presenting your product to the Dragons so really go for it! You’ve worked so hard!

R2s:

  • volume
  • expression
  • steady speed
  • confidence
  • really sell your product

The final part to your Dragon’s Den is to make a prototype – a small model to show what it would really look like.

You can make your prototype out of any materials: play doh, newspaper, card… anything at all!

As always, send a picture of your finished article!

Hello Year 1!

I hope you have all had a great weekend despite the weather!

Here are today’s tasks:

Spellings

Maths video       Maths task

The video is quite long today, so it may be a good idea to pause me when I’ve finished teaching the first activity. You can then complete that activity on the sheet before watching the rest of the video and completing the second activity.

I advise you to do this on the video but not until the end! Silly me!

Phonics – ue

Hello Year 1!

I hope you’re all OK and enjoying the sunshine when you’ve finished your learning.

In yesterday’s phonics task, did anyone spot my mistake? If you did, send me an email to tell me what it was. Whilst you’re emailing me, why not send some of your learning for me to put onto the Class News page!?

Onto today’s tasks:

Reading 

Facts about tigers

Maths

It’s Wednesday which means it is practice day! This week, I want you to practice counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. Counting in 2s, 5s and 10s confidently  is super important no matter what year group you’re in.

Counting in 2s, 5s and 10s practice.

Hello everyone!

Hope you have had a good week! Thanks very much for all your hard work.

It is my last week posting the Year 2 learning as Mrs Taylor and Mrs Freeman will be back setting you your three tasks from Monday! I’ve really enjoyed being back in Year 2 for a few weeks. Thank you!

Okay, here are the answers from yesterday’s learning:

Y2 – Reading – Thursday – ANSWERS

It’s our Love of Reading session today. I’d like you to sit down with a good book and enjoy reading together. You might share a book or your child may want to read independently. Talk about what you’re reading and ask some questions.

For maths, we’re doing the BBC challenges again. Remember to have a go at the Year 3 ones if you want a further challenge!

Finally, it’s another week of Andy Goldsworthy’s natural art challenges. Andy Goldsworthy Challenges – Week 3

If the weather’s bad, you can do some observational drawing of something natural: a banana, some flowers, a turnip, your brother. It is up to you! If you fancy doing something different, have a look at these arty videos for some inspiration.
