So proud of our children and their families for putting in their best efforts on home learning this week for our project `Pharoahs' in Year 5. Thanks for sharing everyone. You are stars!

Hi Guys, 

 

Nip onto the Video Resource Centre for a quick "Hello" message.

 

Go to the school website and click > Quick Links on the side at the far-right of the Homepage.

 

See you there!

 

Mr Tribble

A big shout-out to this young man in Elves Class. Enjoying the best of this early spring weather and getting his garden ready for when we can all go out again! Keep up the good work guys and keep sending us your snaps of you being busy doing good things!

Along with many other authors, David Walliams is releasing a free audio book each day. Click on the link to have a listen.

Once you have listened:

- Did you enjoy the story? What was your favourite part? 

- Did anything amusing happen? 

- How would you describe the main character?

- Can you predict what might happen next?

- Could you design an alternative book cover for the story?

- Could you write or discuss options for the next chapter?

Hi all,

 

We hope you are all staying safe and at least getting some chance to welcome the spring sunshine by means of a garden or an open window or two!

 

We would normally set pupils home learning challenges over the Easter holidays and this year will be no different. By Monday 30th March, all year groups' teachers will have uploaded to their class information pages on the website a broad choice of more creative and craft based activities to explore over the Easter holidays - not forgetting that all important daily reading!

 

Please feel free generally to look at other year groups home learning challenges too or for siblings to be working on challenges together. As much learning as possible is welcomed! 

 

In these unusual times, it is also important to keep connected and celebrate the great work produced and effort pupils show. Therefore, we would like you to feel free to share examples of children's home learning (art, poems, craft, maths - even pupils deep in concentration on a task) and teachers will celebrate this effort by posting a selection to our website and facebook page.

 

Please send any pictures titled clearly as 'HOME LEARNING PHOTO + Class teacher's name' to admin@honiton-pri.devon.sch.uk 

 

By sending in the photos you are giving your consent for a photo to be published. 

 

Thank you everyone,

 

Mr Hasler

Good morning to Class 4AP,

I just wanted to take a moment to wish all the children and families in 4AP the very best. Sorry I didn't get to say a proper goodbye to you all. It was very sad to be told I needed to go home suddenly on Wednesday in order to keep myself safe and I felt very torn. As a teacher, I felt the strong desire to stay in school and help the children and staff prepare for the closure but I needed to be sensible and heed the medical advice. Leaving without saying goodbye was incredibly hard. HPS has been my second family for the last five years and I will miss everyone dreadfully. I am hoping to come back once everything has settled down to say a proper goodbye but for now, please stay safe and healthy. Children - enjoy the time at home with your families, be kind to each other and look after yourselves. 

You are all in my thoughts and I wish you all the very best for your futures. 

Mrs Piggott

Please find the story of the week for Reception under our "Teaching and Learning" tab, then "Video Resource Centre". The file is too large to upload to our Home Learning page.  

Hi, not only does Joe Wicks have great hair, but starting Monday 23rd March he'll be hosting a free workout on his YouTube channel at 9 am every day. A great way to start the day and keep your children active

Despite all the changes and uncertainty in the world, Year 4 had a blast learning about how important Roman roads were and how some are still present today. We learnt about the different layers within the road, whilst also learning the purpose of the materials and the camber used. 

 

To to make it a lot more interesting, we went on to make it out of things we could eat!  Crushed up biscuits formed the foundations and represented the sand, Shreddies and custard formed the boulders and cement, smarties formed the slate layer and it was all topped off with a custard cream to represent the paving slabs!

 

This was certainly enjoyed by each pupil as you can see from the photos!
