Fancy doing something a little different?
Miss Craven has shared with teachers some origami she has been doing with her Y6 class.
If you fancy doing some too here is one a little easier for you to have a go at.
You will need to show some determination and perseverance to succeed.
I'd love to see what you make

Anyone for yoga?
Why don't you have a go at some yoga today?
I've had a go and it's lots of fun and really good to improve posture, balance, focus plus lots more
Has your child used Hit the Button recently?
It's a great website for children aged 5-11 to help them to learn those all important number facts that so much of their Maths work is based upon.
- They can start by learning the number facts which make 10, then move on to making 20 or 100.
- Also the children need to learn by heart doubling and halving facts for different numbers.
- This website also allows the children to work on individual or mixed times tables. Both multiplication and division. Feel free to make this part of the children's daily routine whilst off school, it's fun and can only help their mental recall.

Phonics Recap
In class we have been recapping the Set 2 sounds.
The children did well remembering the sounds, they could mostly blend the sounds together to read the words but needed work when moving on to reading the words speedily (without overt sounding) which is the next step.
Here are the sounds Set 2 and 3 Speed Sound Book
Please encourage your child to tell you the sound, blend the sound to read the word but then move on to being able to read the words speedily without the need for sounding out. This is where the fluency with their reading will improve.

- Art - sketching (light and dark)
In Art last week, we began to look at how to create light and dark lines by changing the way we held our pencils. Show your child the grids below to show we can also create light and dark by the amount of lines and space. Can they do the same? Can they think of something they might draw where this technique might be useful?

Dear Derwent Class,
What a funny year it has been, I was so looking forward to spending a whole year with you, but it wasn't to be. It might only have been short (for some of you) but what a pleasure it has been to be your teacher. I have no doubt that you will move on to Year 3 or Year 4 and do your very best with whatever is put in front of you. Please enjoy a rest over the summer holidays and return to school in September ready to wow your teacher and friends with all that you can do. Thank you to families too, for all the support they have given, it really is appreciated, it only works if we all work together. Goodbye for now, I can't wait to see you all (if from a distance) in September,
lots and lots of love,
Mrs Burton

Want to keep the children's brains ticking over in the Summer Holidays?
Here are some suggestions:
Mental Maths
TT Rockstars
Hit the Button (number bonds to 10 or 20 or 100 or more work on learning times tables including division facts)
Reading
Reading for pleasure - https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/#
Summer Reading Challenge - https://summerreadingchallenge.org.uk/
Writing
Children should learn to write for different purposes and different audiences but remember if they cannot speak in sentences using good vocabulary they will not be able to write in sentences using good vocabulary. So encourage children to speak in sentences, introduce them to new vocabulary (explaining what it means) and orally rehearse what they are going to write first.
Expose children to new experiences, this has an impact on their writing too.

Peregrines - here is an All About Me message from Mrs Pierce and Mrs Mack who will be working with you and Mrs Longfield in your class next year
Hello, my name is Mrs Pierce and I am a teaching assistant that has worked at school for nearly 12 years. Having established the Community Hub (school library) 4 years ago I also enjoy look after the library, including opening it to the wider community every other Saturday. I am looking forward to the new school year when I will be working in Peregrine Class with Mrs Longfield. I know most of the children who attend our school but it will be great to get to know some of you better. I am also looking forward to welcoming back our toddlers for story time on a Tuesday afternoon.
I enjoy being part of the 'Friends of Carlton Primary School', helping to organise events and raise money to support the pupils of our school and enhance the overall school experience.
I live in Newland (which is just 3 miles from Carlton) and I have family who live in Drax and Carlton, which is great as we are a really close family. I have two children, Dan who is now 16 and going into 6th form and Jess who is 14 and going into year 10 at The Snaith School. Both my children were pupils at this school and really enjoyed their time here.
When I am not in work I love listening to music and sing. I have been a member of Selby Rock choir for more than 10 years and I thoroughly enjoy our weekly sessions and performances to the public. I also love to go and watch musicals at the theatre and when I get chance I Like to swim and run.
I am looking forward to a rest and some family time over the summer and I am looking forward to working with you in September.
Hello everyone. I am Mrs Mackintosh (or for short Mrs Mack) I am really looking forward to seeing you all and being your HLTA & Teaching Assistant in September!
I know it may feel a little strange to be back in school but don’t worry, we will work as a team to support one another and get through it.
As some of you know, I teach french and art in school but did you know I love to bake?!
Baking is my preferred pastime at the moment. I bake a variety of cakes and cheesecakes, which the staff and children throughout school will say are quite delicious!
Especially the staff as they are my cake tasters! I’m sure they don’t mind!
I even entered my first competition, the Carlton Fete Bake Off 2020!
I came 1st!
Always have a go, you could surprise yourself - anything is possible!
What is your favourite cake and why?
My love of art began when I was a young child myself and it has grown throughout my adult life. It will be a pleasure to help guide, support and inspire your artistic visions.
Once again, I’m really looking forward to seeing you all in September, keep safe and well.

Ospreys - here is an 'All About Me' message from Mrs Swash who will be working with you and Miss Marshall in class next year
Hello all I am Mrs Swash. I have lived in Carlton all of my life and attended the same school as you do!
When I am not at school I try to keep fit . I dabble in a bit of jogging, go cycling around near home or further away in the Dales where it really tests your legs. Swimming is top on my list though. I am truly missing it during lock-down, as all the swimming pools are closed, so I have decided to take the plunge and attempt it outdoors in a lake. The only thing that is worrying me is the fish! I will let you all know how I get on when we return in September. Also I love to crochet, draw, paint, bake, listen to music and dance. Spending time with my family is really important to me too. During the summer months we bar-be-que together or go for long walks and in the winter months we have pie club, the strange thing is I am generally the host. Quiet time for me is when I read a good book . I really enjoy autobiographies or history based stories.
It has been quite odd not seeing all your lovely smiling faces at school. I am really pleased I am your class TA and I also get to work with Miss Marshall , who is a brilliant teacher and so much fun.
I can't wait to see you all again in September, I bet you are all getting so tall now. Have a busy fun filled safe time over the holidays. See you soon!
You will also have the pleasure of Mrs Mack once a week too

and don't forget
⭐TT Rockstars
⭐ Hit the Button
⭐ Learning to tell the time
Weekly English Tasks (plus daily reading)
⭐Complete your All About Me writing and send it to your new teacher
⭐Talk to someone at home about all the questions you have about when you return to school next year. Now see if anyone at home can answer any of them. Next write up the questions (using a ? at the end) and you can either email them or bring them to school in September so your teacher can try to answer them in your first week back.
⭐Can you make up a story and use either your new teacher or your school friends as the main characters? First plan out what will happen at the beginning, middle and end (Story Mountain), then explain this to someone at home, finally write the story up.
Ask someone to pick out the words you didn't spell correctly and practice these spellings using the techniques we use at school e.g. pyramid, 1 correct and 1 wrong - which is which?, cover, write, check or putting the word into a sentence. Ask someone at home to give you a spelling test using these words to see if you know them now.
