White Rose Maths update

Thank you all for your patience with the White Rose Maths site yesterday. I know that White Rose are on the case and hope that you have a better time accessing resources today!

A Message from the Head of White Rose Maths

I wanted to sincerely apologise if you have experienced any difficulties getting on to our website today.

Due to the huge level of traffic to our site this morning, our web servers were incredibly busy, and we understand that some people had problems accessing the resources.

At one point we had over 200,000 visitors trying to access the pages at once, which as you can imagine caused issues. Lots of you were able to get on the system, but I know others could not access our content. 

High demand was anticipated but unfortunately despite the measures taken, the system found this level of traffic challenging! We will be working around the clock with our website team and server hosts to ensure the web site can cope with this massive demand for our home learning resources going forward. 

In order to help level out the demand please try to download the worksheet and answers the day before, at a separate time from the videos.

We will be following the lessons through the week, so you know which worksheets to download in advance.

Day 2: Good Morning!

Hello Everyone at Brown Clee! We awake to another sunny day! Please make the most of it!

The teachers will be posting another day’s work for children. The work we set is to consolidate previous learning and help keep children occupied during these strange days, especially as we don’t know how long this is going on for. We are aware that parents may still be working from home, or be at work as keyworkers, so please don’t worry if you don’t find the time to do it all.
Please do email photos of work or children carrying out activities, as it would be lovely to share in the website so that the children can see each other…and also the teachers can see, as we are missing everyone!

Day One of Remote Teaching!

I just want to say a massive thank you and well done to all parents, children and teachers for getting into the remote teaching routines we have set up!  It has been lovely to see the photos and updates from parents and children.

We have decided to open the response window to emails, so that teachers can reply anytime between 9am and 3.15pm, but please don’t expect an instant response.

We also ask if, as well as sharing your photos on facebook (which are lovely and very much appreciated) if you can also forward/email them to your class teacher, as we would love to share on the school website, so the children can see their friends and we can all celebrate what they are doing.

This has never been done before, so we really appreciate everyone’s support.  We are all finding it strange, but want to do the right thing, and want to keep the ethos of ‘school is open’ just not in the building going. Thank you!

At the moment, we have an incredible 10 Rock Heroes – an average time of <1 second to answer each question on TTRS!

Does anyone think they can catch up with George R’s incredible time of 0.58 seconds per answer?!

Snail in the Well – Challenge Questions

I’ve had some answers for today’s challenge question; however, no-one (apart from Alex – who got there in the end with some help) has got it correct yet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This problem is harder than it looks (it’s not 30).

 

Here’s a hint:
Remember that it climbs up the well before it slides back down.

Caterpillar update

Our class caterpillars have had a growth spurt over the weekend! They have been really active this morning. They have been sat next to me, keeping me company whilst working from home.

I have attached a video update for you to see just how much they have grown!

We’ve got some amazing scores on Spelling Shed already. Here’s the latest scores on the whole-school leader board (these scores are based on their total score from the last 7 days):

Hive Game

Just so you are aware, the hive game will show the top three scores – not everyone like it does at school.

The game will start in 2 minutes – so if you want to play, make sure you’ve entered your code.

Life Cycle of a Butterfly Video

It has been brought to my attention that the link for the video of the life cycle of a butterfly doesn’t work.

Please try: https://youtu.be/3kZD6rlSLUw

If this still doesn’t work, try putting ‘life cycle of a butterfly’ into the search engine. The video I chose is on you tube and was uploaded by ClickView.

Thank you for keeping me informed!

Daily update – 23.03.20

Well done Class 4. I’ve already had lots of questions and some fantastic maths work sent. Some have already even accessed their own accounts which I had set up. They can access their own email account by going to Office365 or you can download the outlook app on a phone/iPad. Their email address is lastname.firstinitial@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk (e.g. jones.s@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk) and their password will be Password 123 – which they will have to change.

 

Well done to George R – who sent in his EBM before I’d even had a chance to check the website!

 

I haven’t seen a correct answer to the challenge question yet though – though Alex has got very close!

 

I’ll post all of the answers to today’s work on Class 4’s page tomorrow morning. If you wish to send any work in or have any questions, then send me an email at class4@brownclee.shropshire.sch.uk

 

Remember, we’ll be trying a hive game at 13:05 (not sure if it’ll work…). I’ll post the code at 12:55.

 

Also, if you could email any distance you run/walk and I’ll add them to our total for our running challenge!

White Rose Maths

Hi again Class 3,

I have just spoken to the fantastic staff at the White Rose Maths site. They currently have over 100,000 people trying to access the site at the same time and although the site hasn’t completely crashed they are aware that there are problems. They have reassured me that their IT team are currently working on solving the problem and have thanked us for our patience.

They have suggested trying to access the site again a little later in the day at the moment as the videos are more likely to play when the demand is lower.

It’s been great to see that Archie has been busy working this morning – I have just had a great mail with pictures of him hard at work. Well done Archie!

Web links on class planning

Hi Class 3,

I have just been informed that the links on the Class 3 planning sheet aren’t fully functioning. It appears that there are two issues that I am currently trying to sort out.

Firstly, because the document is saved as a PDF the links aren’t working. These are the links that were on the sheet for today:

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-3/

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-4/

www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/Romans.html

Secondly, when you get to the White Rose pages it seems that they are no longer working correctly. I think that this may be because there are so many people trying to access them at the same time. I will email White Rose and get back to you all again later.

Please carry on looking at the work that can be done, it really doesn’t matter which order the tasks are done in.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Mrs Heath
