WW2 Digger Biscuits!, by Miss Horvath

Date: 1st Oct 2021 @ 4:55pm

In History we have been learning all about WW1 & 2. Recently, we learnt about rations and some different recipes they used. We decided to make some 'Digger biscuits'. The children were all fantastic helpers in our new food technology room and not only measured out all of the ingredients themselves but also cleaned up too!

20th July - final week!, by Miss Isbister

Date: 20th Jul 2020 @ 8:46am

Good morning Year 6!

Can you believe that it is your last ever week at MPJS?! It has been such a rollercoaster year and whether you are at home or school, it is a good time to reflect on all of the fun times from the past 4 years.

TASKS FOR THIS WEEK: finish off any work from your CGP books and make sure everything is marked. Then, create two mind maps- one filled with 'MPJS memories' and one filled with 'Things I am looking forward to at my new school.' Add pictures and colour. 

We will be doing a whole year group Google Hangout on WEDNESDAY at 2:30PM this week. Please join!

LEAVERS HOODIES have now arrived in school- pop in to collect your hoodie if you ordered one from Tuesday onwards this week. 

Any questions or queries, please comment below :)

We look forward to seeing you all on Google Hangout!

Good morning Year 6! 

***Please log on to Google Classroom today (Monday 13th) just before 12pm to have a chat with Miss Isbister***

LEAVERS UPDATE: Hoodies will arrive in the last week. We will let you know when they can be collected. 

If you are at home, we have asked you to send in TWO PHOTOS: one of you in nursery/reception, and another of you now, holding up a piece of paper which clearly says what your dream job is. For example 'DOCTOR.' This is to add to a leavers video. If you have not yet sent these, please email them to mossparkjun.admin@trafford.gov.uk. Don't add them to Google Classroom because they may be missed. We are trying hard to make sure everybody is included, so it would really help if you did this straight away. 

Well done to the girls in 6B and in 6I who beat the boys in the battles last week. This week is a straight battle 6I v 6B!

This week, we would like you to:

1. Follow the table below for the pages we want you to do each day (please note the different books)

Science (you choose which days you do these):

Please comment with anything else you are up to, any questions, or even just to say hello! 

Stay safe and enjoy the week!

Google Meet, by Mr Boyer

Date: 22nd Jun 2020 @ 4:56pm

So, I was sat waiting for everyone to join the Google Meet this afternoon and I noticed there weren't as many as I expected. Mr Ward joined me and told me there has been a problem - something has changed in Google's update which meant children were not allowed to access Google Meet through their log ins. Our technician has now changed these settings and they should be fixed soon, but it takes 24 hours. 

Myself and Miss Isbister are in school for the rest of the week so we'll try to figure something out between us about possibly doing another 'Meet' - we'll text parents if this is possible. Watch this space.

Online Learning How to Guide, by Miss McEvoy

Date: 11th Jun 2020 @ 7:04pm

Here is a how to guide on accessing home learning, which will be starting on Monday.

The video shows you how to gain access to google classroom and google meet (hangouts). We give instructions for using a laptop or a phone/tablet.

If you follow this guide and still need some further support, Mr Tarry and Mr Ward are running a support session at the school office tomorrow (Friday 12th June) all day. Please bring along your devices or laptop and they can help you log on to make sure your child is ready for their lesson on Monday or Tuesday.
**Please note school wifi will not be available to use. If needing help with a laptop please bring a phone which can be used as wifi**

Just a reminder that these lessons are live and need to be accessed at the time your teacher had texted you. They cannot be seen later in the day.
Also we will only make the link/code visable just before the time. Each teacher will post an announcement with the link and code for the children to see. The week after it will be a different link/code so please always check back on the classroom before each online lesson.

We hope the video is useful
