Visit the Naburn School VLE (Virtual Learning Environment)

You don't need to log in to use the VLE!  The following information - and a little bit more - is also available in out Class space on the VLE.

A big thank you to all the parents who have helped the children check out this new web-site and have been sending in Egyptian books and objects for our topic.

Year 3 & 4 pupils have been testing our new Virtual Learning Environment for the school, so I hope everyone is enjoying looking around.  Hopefully the rest of the school will be using the site soon too!

You don't need to log in to use the VLE, but you can read and comment on our Blog 'Things to Do at Home' if you log in using your userID and password, which we recorded on the letter I gave you and now also have stuck into your Planner.  If the site doesn't recognise you, it may be because you are using punctuation.  Remember each userID starts with a two-digit number and each password ends with a two-digit number and there are no full stops, spaces or capitals.

Logging in only allows you to test our 'Things to Do at Home' feature and if you can't do it, that is helpful to me to know: we can then learn from any mistakes. Technical problems at school are making it difficult to log in, so I'm finding it hard to sort out what is causing the problems we are getting at home, but our service providers are working on it.

Here is the homework for Week 4:    
    
Ask a grown up to choose a newspaper article for you to read. Decide whether you think it is a good report or not and explain why. You could record this in your homework book or verbally - either way don't forget to get your homework book signed.

 
This homework is due on Thursday 13th April.

I hope everything is going OK with the Ukulele project.  You don't have to become an expert, and I don't expect you to remember how to play all the chords, but you will hopefully have some fun.  I put blank labels near the handles so you can write you names on them - I may have missed covering up some of the old names.  Some of the boxes are a bit battered, but all the ukuleles seemed to be working at the workshop.  You will probably find they go a bit out of tune - nothing to worry about: we'll have a play with them next week.  Owen - you missed the workshop, so I'll have to show you the chords next week.
