Hello Everyone!

I hope you are all well and happy and keeping yourselves and each other safe.

It would be STAY and PLAY today if we were at school, so can I invite you to Stay and Play, but just do it at home! Dig out your favourite board game and play together. If you are stuck for some ideas, have a look at this website for some of the proper ‘old skool’ games played with just a piece of paper and a pencil. http://www.papg.com/

I’ve spent part of Monday going through all of your great Bug Club responses and writing a little message back to everyone who has completed a written response question. I will make sure I do this every Monday, so you know I am still here to help and support you in what you are doing.

Can you all make sure you are doing your bug club each week. I will set one a book a week, so that you can really develop fluency in reading that text, understanding it and then later in the week, answering the Bug Club questions very carefully so you get the answers correct first time. If anyone does want any extra, let me know via the website and, if you are clearing them all fluently and well, I will set a few more for you.

I’m also setting Bug Club grammar games. Again, some of these allow you to make written responses and wherever you write one, I will respond.

With all of the Bug Club stuff, please do it carefully.  Make sure you have done all the activities properly, not rushing them to get them done quickly.

Keep checking the website everyday for more ideas, suggestions and resources and get in touch with me through the website if you want to.

Take care

Mr F.

Who tuned into PE with Joe this morning? What a great workout! I really enjoyed the frog jumps. Post your PE pictures on the website page and I will write back to you. If you missed it this morning, check it out on : https://www.thebodycoach.com/blog/pe-with-joe-1254.html

Remember, more live PE sessions will be happening live every morning Monday to Friday at 9:00am.

Keep active and have fun!

Please find below your Easter Home Learning project:

Easter Project Learning

In art, we have been looking at different mythological creatures. We have learned that these were often made by combining different animals (sometimes even humans). Please research a mythical beast of your choice. You can present this in any way you would like (PPT on a USB stick, Poster, information text etc).

You need to know at least:

• Where did the mythical beast originate?
• What does the mythical beast do?
• What creatures are combined to make the mythical creature?
• What is the story that links to the mythical creature?

Please also design your own mythical beast. It would be great if you could draw/paint/create it as a presentation piece to share with the class.

Please have a go at logging in to Espresso Education and complete the relative clauses tasks. There is a video to watch, then a quiz to complete and an interactive game too. If you have any problems logging in, please message me on here and let me know.

For anyone who was not in on Tuesday, this week’s home learning is:

Maths Home Learning rounding to 1000 18.3.20 Maths Home Learning Rounding decimals 18.3.20

Literacy Home Learning 18.3.20

Well done to those of you who have already uploaded your Home Learning tasks to me via this website – I’m very impressed! I would love to receive any photos of additional learning you are taking part in at home (Just Dance/GoNoodle, meals you have cooked, hairstyles you have created etc!) I have been practising the ‘Waka Waka’ dance over the weekend myself… 

Please feel free to contact me on here or through the school phone if you have any problems/questions.

Miss Hall 🙂

To start with…

These are challenging and unexpected times and I would like to thank you for your support and kindness. You have all been amazing! On Friday we did our upmost to provide the children with, what they described to me as “the best day ever”. I appreciate that many of you were unable to be there, but would like to reinforce that you are making choices that will keep your child and others healthy.

I have put together Home Learning for the next 3 weeks. Those of you who were able to be there on Friday will have a printed pack and Home Learning Book. If you do not have your book and learning pack, do not worry it is being kept safe for you. However, due to our fantastic website, I can share with you the Home Learning here!

I appreciate for many of you this experience may feel like being thrown into the deep end. Just a reminder that we are still here to support you, just in a different way. All we ask is for you to do your best. These are unusual times and we are all learning!

I look forward to seeing the photos of your activities! 🙂

Best wishes

Miss Hall
