• Keeping busy over Whitsun...

  Thu 21 May 2020 Mrs Anderson

  We won't be setting home learning over the Whitsun holiday. ('Yay' I hear the children say!!) However, in these challenging times it would be very easy to get bored and lazy, so here's a few things to do!

   

  Going on a DUCK hunt!

  As you know, our school logo has a duck in the middle of it. Our smallest children even come to Ducks! So my first challenge for you is to make a big picture of a duck- as bright as you can make it- and put it in a window at the front of your house for everyone to see.

   

  My second challenge is for you to spot as many of the displayed ducks as you can when you are out and about, keeping active, walking or on your bikes or scooters. If you do see a picture of a duck in the window of a house, give the house a wave. It's a sign that one of our Dingle team live there! Me and my little boy will be walking around to see how many we can spot.

   

  Share a book

  My next challenge is for you to connect with your friends by recommending a book to them. If you have read a really cracking book over the last few weeks send me an email using the info@dingle.dudley.sch.uk email.

   

  It must be your words, but you may want an adult to help you with writing the email if you are struggling.

   

  Remember to tell me the name of the book, the author and write a paragraph explaining why you would recommend the book to a friend! 

   

  I'll post the recommendations in the 'Children' section of our website.

   

  Other things to keep you busy

  Here are some websites that I think are worth a look to give you some ideas of things to do during the week. You might have done some of these things already, but if not, have a go and enjoy!

• Junk modelling craft challenge

  Mon 11 May 2020 Gemma Anderson

  Your new craft challenge is to do some junk modelling!!

   

  Make whatever you like out of the bottles, boxes, toilet roll tubes, cartons etc that you would be throwing into your recycling.

   

  Make sure that you send a photo of yourself with your junk modelling to info@dingle.dudley.sch.uk by Monday 18th May if you would like it shared on our school website.

   

  Enjoy!

• VE Day 75th Anniversary Challenge and Bank Holiday 'Home Learning'

  Fri 01 May 2020 Mrs Anderson

  Friday 8th May is the 75th Anniversary of VE Day, so here is your craft challenge for the week.

   

  • Research what VE Day is all about and why we mark it.
  • Then decorate part of your house in red, white and blue, ready for the day itself and send me a photo. 

   

  Do as little or as much as you like and be as creative as you want! Send your photos to info@dingle.dudley.sch.uk by Thursday 7th May and I'll upload them so that we can see how everyone is marking the day. 

   

  If you do anything special on the day itself, please feel free to send me photos and I will add them to the website to share with everyone else. Whilst teachers will not be setting any home learning tasks for that day, it would be wonderful if the children could spend the day finding out about VE Day and celebrating this special anniversary. Have a look at https://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/family/ve-day-celebrations-in-lockdown-540015 for some lovely ideas of what you could do as a family.
