What's new this week?

Fri 22 May 2020 C Morris

Hello again,

This week has been all about our first ever Virtual Sports Day.

Teachers, pupils, family and friends have all been getting active and having fun. There have been socks thrown, washing hung up and books balanced.

For every event that pupils submitted to their teachers they received 5 points for their house; and all those pupils will find Sports Day certificates in their Seesaw accounts after half term.

Next week is half term so we hope you have some time to rest and enjoy the sunshine at an appropriate social distance.

Stay safe.

Taking part and challenging yourself is great, but maybe you want to compete against people in your household, or you want to try to Beat The Teacher?

We are delighted to announce that pupils from across the globe will be accessing our challenges. Children from Canada to Thailand will be joining in with our first ever online sports day. So, to everyone, wherever you are, we say welcome, we hope you are well and let the challenges begin!

HOUSE POINTS

Pupils at Ninian Park, remember if you send in a photograph or video to your Seesaw account you will get 5 house points for each challenge we can see that you've tackled.

If you are having difficulty with your Seesaw account (or you are competing from a different country) you can send your evidence by email to remotelearning@ninianparkprm.cardiff.sch.uk Please check with a responsible adult before sending any images of yourself.

If you are emailing, please make sure you state your name, class and teacher, so that we can forward the information to the correct teacher and allocate your house points.

Good luck everyone and have fun!

If we had been in school we would have been taking part in our fabulous sports day. But, we are not going to be defeated, so we are going online to create a Virtual Sports Day.

This week Year 4 have been challenged to come up with activities for us to do at home. Staff will be sorting these events and putting them onto the school website ready for our Virtual Sports Day to go live at 09:00 on Tuesday 19th May. You will then have until 12:00 (lunchtime) Friday 22nd May to take part in one or more activities.

If you send your teacher a photo or film of you taking part you will get 5 house points. If you send in evidence of 2 activities you will get 10 points, etc.

For more information, check out our Virtual Sports Day webpage

Science & Technology

Make your own one minute timer

Using plastic cups/bottles with sand/sugar you can make your own timer. Make sure you get an adult to supervise this activity.
