Welcome to week three! I saw this picture and thought how much we’re missing you all and what a good team you all are!
From now on each week Mrs FitzGerald and I have to see at least one piece of English and maths work and then one other piece of work of your choosing. There are lots of you who are already sharing your work with us each week so thank you for this and please keep this up, those that haven’t been doing this we do now expect to see evidence of your work every week. You can email us photos of your work or if you are doing work on Google Classrooms or another platform that shares your work with us.
To share your work, you can do one of the following options:
1. email a photo or attachment to us at r.poole@ellel-st-johns.lancs.sch.uk or deputy@ellel-st-johns.lans.sch.uk
2. attach a photo to the blog posts
3. Save it into the class OneDrive (link shared on Parent App).
4. If it is on a learning platform eg Purple Mash or Mathletics we will see the work.
Transition
We are continuing to think about the transition to high school. Please login to Purple Mash where I have set you a task called Transition my profile in your 2Dos. It needs to be completed by the end of the week. If while you are thinking about moving on to your next school you think of a question or worry then please email me; your responses will be confidential (r.poole@ellel-st-johns.lancs.sch.uk) and we will aim to answer/respond either through videos or when we get into school.

On purple mash my password isn’t working mainly cause I’ve forgot it, is there any chance mrs Poole that you know it xx
Morning Heidi, Don’t worry.

I hope that helps.
Love
Mrs Poole
I cant believe that I’ve forgot it??✌?
On purple mash the work set is something I’ve already done.
The purple mash work is about transition to high school; making a profile about yourself. Is that what you have done before?
If you have can you move onto the next transition piece about how to read secondary school timetables.
I hope that helps,
Mrs Poole
Joe’s right. We’ve done this before. Or something very similar with Mrs Fitz.
Iona x
It is a similar activity. The one I set at the start of lockdown was an ‘All about me’ character profile. I think Mrs Poole wants you to think specifically about transition and the skills, talents and characteristics you’ll be taking on to and nurturing at secondary school. x
It won’t let me post a picture on the blog.
Hi Fin,
There is a limit to the amount of data that can be uploaded in a photo, I think high resolution cameras will have a higher amount of data. I’m not sure how to change the amount of data.
Sorry not to be of more use.
Mrs Poole
