A bright and bubbly good morning to you all! I am hoping you are all happy, healthy and are still wearing your smiles.

Harry is working at the hospital at the moment so we are being extra careful with our hand washing and keeping clean. My hand washing song this week is Toto, “Africa”. What’s yours?

It’s great to see so many of you on BugClub! Remember to complete all of the parts of the activities. 

Have you been doing any cooking? I would love to see your photos! Yesterday I baked some cookies using 100g of flour, 100g of butter, 100g of sugar and 50g of chocolate chips. I wonder how much it weighed all together…

Something new…

Log onto https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/ who are offering there premium services for free! Try the Tricky Words Trucks Phase 3 and then 4. How quickly can you read the words? Have 3 goes.

Remember to be kind to yourself and others. We are here if you need anything.

Kind thoughts,

Good morning!

Reporting from my garden this morning as the sun is out!

Have you been active this morning? This morning Harry and I worked together to do our own circuit training with different activities. Can you help us to find a new station to keep us active? I look forward to seeing your suggestions!

After the Easter we will be investigating sharks. Check out the National Marine Aquarium Live feed at  https://www.aqua.org/Experience/live. Can you spot the Blacktip Reef Shark? Have a go at drawing the shark. Can you find out three facts about the Blacktip Reef Shark? Send me your facts and pictures through the website 🙂

After doing you phonics phoneme speedy reading today, why not create your own word hunt?

happy, sky, yak, butterfly, dry, funny, spotty, bunny, yellow, yesterday, yucky

All of these words have the letter y in but it can make different sounds. Read the words together then write down the words onto different pieces of paper. Take it in turns to hide the y words around your home. Time each other to see who can find and read all of the words in the quickest time!

Something new for you…

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
