Year 5 provision next week

Dear parents and carers,

It is with great sadness that I inform you that Mrs Kaur and her family have suffered a devastating family bereavement this weekend.

As you can imagine, they will need time to be together and support each other, therefore Mrs Kaur will not be in school this coming week or be available to provide feedback to the children working online. We have ensured that there will be an adult supporting the children in school and work will still be set for home learning, however there will be limited pre-recorded sessions to go alongside this. Miss Drake will be running a live session this week and we will let Year 5 know when this will happen so they can join in if they want to.

Our live assemblies that were set to be started this week will be postponed for Year 5 until Mrs Kaur is back and ready to deliver.

I know you will all want to send your prayers and thoughts to her family, however we ask that any queries or urgent emails be sent either to: sspp.year3@taw.org.uk or through the office. Any work completed, please submit in the usual way, we will try to ensure that answers are sent as much as we can for set marking.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and support in these coming days.

kind regards,

Mrs Wickett

Online Learning W/C 18.01.2021

This week’s planning will follow in literacy with our new text focus, Varmints (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxD02c2pIsI) and our new mini adventure, ‘Who Pays the Price?’

I hope that you are all well and that the online learning has been accessible. If there are resources that are missing or that you can’t open, let me know on the TEAMs chat and as soon as I can, I will rectify this for you. Please could you remind children that they can share the work that they have completed and their ideas regarding a task in the ‘posts’ section as they wish too. This will be an area where sometimes I will be sharing work that we have completed in class too for the children to see. On Tuesday, I will be at forest school with the class and this means that I will not have access to TEAMs to answer the questions you may have. For this day, I have set SPaG and arithmetic tasks that the children can work through and mark themselves. On Wednesday morning at 9am, I will be delivering a LIVE lesson as part of a trial for the school. There will be a ‘code of conduct’ that you will need to read through with your child so they are aware of the rules and the sessions will be recorded – if you don’t want your child on camera, they can keep this off.

Once again, thank you for your understanding and support.

A thank you message to all!

WOW year 2 – what a busy week we have had.  I cannot express how impressed I am with all the children both in school and learning at home. You have all blown me away with your attitude to  learning and your ability to adapt once again.  I am so proud of you all!  It was really hard choosing a good mention this week as you have all been absolute super stars!!! I can’t wait to see what you will do next week!

Our next mini adventure is ‘Around the world in 80 days’.

We will be looking at climates, continents and oceans as well as animals and their young from around the world.

Finally, I would like to say a great big thank you to all the parents/carers and siblings at home offering so much support.  I appreciate that many of you are also trying to still work whilst your children are at home and yet have maintained such a positive attitude towards the current situation.   I want those of you at home to know that we miss you greatly and to ensure you remain part of the class have been including your work in our displays. Please continue to communicate with me so that we can provide the best experiences for your children.  It has been lovely to hear from so many of you – we are all in this together.

Be sure to take some time this weekend to rest, relax and enjoy each others company before we start all over again next week.

Take care everyone.

Stay safe

Mrs Steventon and Miss Mac

More ideas to support you with submitting work

Dear All,

Please see the below information which you may find useful for submitting work.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/office-lens-for-windows-577ec09d-8da2-4029-8bb7-12f8114f472a

Office Lens for Windows

Work anywhere from any device with Microsoft 365

Upgrade to Microsoft 365 to work anywhere with the latest features and updates.

Upgrade now

Important:

  • Certain cloud-based services in Office Lens for Windows, such as saving your pictures to OneDrive, OneNote, Word, PowerPoint, or PDF, are no longer available in the app as of December 31, 2020. You can continue to use any other features of the app as installed on your computer or device.
  • Office Lens for Windows 10 is longer available for download from the Microsoft Store as of January 1, 2021. To continue to enjoy all Office Lens features, we recommend downloading and using the latest version of Office Lens for iOS or Office Lens for Android on your mobile device.

Office Lens is a great way to capture notes and information from whiteboards, menus, signs, handwritten memos, or anything with a lot of text. You don’t need to jot down notes, rely on blurry images, or worry about misplacing anything. It’s great for capturing sketches, drawings and equations too, and even images without text.

Office Lens gets rid of shadows and odd angles, so that images are easier to read. You can upload document and whiteboard images to Word, PowerPoint, OneNote, OneDrive, and you can save them as PDFs or send them in email.

Choose a mode

As soon as you open Office Lens, you can choose your mode — Photo, Document, Whiteboard, or Business Card — so Office Lens can make the image look its best.

When Office Lens start, choose your mode.Photo    This is a good mode to use if you’re taking pictures of scenery or people.

Document    This mode will help you get the most out of small words and details on a page. It’s great for things like posters, fliers, or restaurant menus.

Whiteboard    Use this mode to capture notes. Office Lens will adjust images so the background isn’t too bright and the words are easier to read. It’s an ideal setting for blackboards and sketches, too.

Business Card    This mode will help you extract contact information and save it into your phone’s contacts and into OneNote. This feature currently works best with business cards in English, German, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese.

Take a picture

Choose whether or not to use a flash, and then make sure the frame lines up with the item you want to capture. Use the Camera button to take a picture. If you prefer, you can import an existing image from the local gallery on your device. If you want to retake the photo, tap the Trash button icon to delete it, then tap the Take More button to retake the displayed image. If you want to take more photos, tap the Take More button.

Review and edit your photo before saving it.

Review and edit

You can edit your image before you save it so it’s exactly the way you want it to be. Tap the Crop icon to trim away any parts of the image that you don’t need. You can also add a caption to the image. This caption will be used as the alt text in OneNote and the file title on OneDrive. After you edit an image, tap Save at the bottom. If you take more than two images, Office Lens will show all the images you took in the gallery.

Crop away parts of the image you don't need.

Save

  1. When you’re happy with your edits, choose where to save the image:
    • For captures taken in Photo, Document, or Whiteboard modes, you can save images to OneNote, OneDrive, as a Word or PowerPoint file, or as a PDF. You can also save them to your local photo gallery and edit their titles.
  2. Add a title when prompted (optional).

By default, images saved to OneNote will be in your main notebook, but you can change the location to keep your notes organized in a way that suits you.

Note: If you’re new to OneNote, you’ll find images in the Quick Notes section of <Your First Name’s> Notebook. If you’ve been using OneNote for a while, your notebook will have a different name, like Personal, Personal (web), or My Notebook, and your captured content will be in the Unfiled Notes section.

Additional information

Images saved as Word or PowerPoint files, or as PDFs will be in your Documents folder in OneDrive or OneDrive for Business, so you can access them from any of your devices. Office Lens doesn’t just import an image into a Word or PowerPoint file. The final Word and PowerPoint documents are real Office documents.

  • For Word, Office Lens recognizes the text, handwritten or printed, and the document layout. All of the text, formatting, and the layout in the Word document it creates is fully editable — just like you authored it at your desk.
  • For PowerPoint, all of the handwritten lines and strokes are transformed into PowerPoint drawing objects that can be recolored, resized, moved around, and edited. You can remove the background of drawings as well, which makes it easier to reuse the drawings in other presentations.
  • For PDFs, Office Lens extracts the text information. You can search the content in a file with the text and you can highlight or copy part of the page with your PDF reader app.
  • Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and supported languages:
    Save Destination Target Text/Input Languages
    Word, PDF, OneDrive, OneNote Printed Text English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish
    OneNote Handwriting Text English
    Business Card mode (OneNote) Business Card English, Simplified Chinese, German, Spanish

 

Important:

  • Certain cloud-based services in Office Lens for Windows, such as saving your pictures to OneDrive, OneNote, Word, PowerPoint, or PDF, are no longer available in the app as of December 31, 2020. As of January 1, 2021, your cloud-saved captures in your Recent Uploads tab may no longer be accessible from the Office Lens for Windows app. You’ll still be able to access your previous cloud-saved captures by signing into your OneDrive account in a browser and opening the My Files > Documents > Office Lens folder, but you won’t be able to save new captures at this location with the Office Lens for Windows app.
  • To continue to enjoy all Office Lens features, we recommend downloading and using the latest version of Office Lens for iOS or Office Lens for Android on your mobile device.

Keep up the amazing work with the remote learning.
