I hope you you are enjoying the sunshine – don’t forget to put sun cream on at home before you come to school each morning and to bring a sun hat with you. We try to spend as much time as we can outside at the moment and so it is very important that you are protected from the sun please. We do have lots of shade in our play area but sun cream and a hat are very important.
Reception children have two lessons each day. The first is at 10am for those children who are learning to blend sounds together. The second is at 11am and is aimed at Reception children who can blend confidently.
Please choose some new words to learn this week from the choices below. Here is the grid to practice them on too. Look cover write check Please practice them every day!
Please log in to Reading Eggs using your logon details in the front of your green home learning book. There are lots of brilliant games and activities to choose from that will all help with your reading skills and they are brilliant fun too!
It will work best if you have time to prepare this activity the night before/a few hours before you are going to carry it out. Otherwise, get everything ready with your child and then come back to it once the ice has frozen.

Hi Year 6, just a reminder following Mrs Haynes’ letter on Monday that at school tomorrow, we have a photographer coming to take individual photos of you in your hoodie to put together in a whole group photo. If you are not in school and want to have your photo included, please ask an adult to bring you to school at 10.30am. You may have to wait while the photos are taken outside and social distancing measures will be in place. Don’t forget your hoodie!
Reception, your lesson will be uploaded at 10am. Year 1s, your lesson will be uploaded at 10:30am. If you feel like you need a bit of extra practice there is another lesson at 11:00am that focuses on blending sounds. After they have been uploaded the videos are available to view at any time throughout the day.
If you’re struggling to concentrate for the full video, try doing it in sections and have a break between each bit.
Fine Motor Skills:
Have a go at one of the activities from the grid below.
Reception: Today you will will commit The Crocodile Who Didn’t Like Water, by Gemma Merino, to your memory by drawing a story map. You can extend this lesson by acting out the story and thinking of a step for each part.
Year 1: Today you will be thinking about where your new characters live, their habitat, and what they eat, their diet. You will need a piece of paper and a pencil.
Wildlife Wednesday! Have a go at making your own bird feeder: Pipe Cleaner Bird Feeder I’d love to know if any birds come and have a nibble on your bird feeders!
If you have any problems or any work you’d like to send us to see please contact Nikki in the office and she will forward it onto us. We love seeing what you get up to!
I am sitting at my computer with a lovely cup of tea – what is your favourite drink to have while you work? Why not let me know later today – are you allowed to drink while you think? We have to be careful of drinks near computers but I have a big desk and keep the drink well away from the wires.
Now I am not going totally mad – I have a reason for asking about drinking – I saw a group of Cappucin Monkeys at a zoo in Borth – Mid Wales – and they had tea as their favourite day time drink! I am going to get you to look at the odd types of food and drink that these wild animals have.
So for today you have English, Maths, Handwriting and Project: Let’s start with handwriting:
Handwriting: Please do some fine motor skills today to improve your pencil control. Take a sharp pencil and draw around some items from home – a cup or knife, your own hand or perhaps a piece of jewelry – when you have made 3 patterns, take another pencil or a different colour and go over the shape freehand. Keep doing this and try to keep the lines perfect.
Maths: For today I have found some activities that look at shape for Year 3 and Measuring for Year 2 (but you can look at both sheets if you are feeling brave!)
English: Please look at the film from the clip attached:
Year 2 : https://www.literacyshed.com/thewaybackhome.html
Please select one of the activities that you can do today. You can then select another for tomorrow.
Write a recount of the adventure.
Write a holiday brochure page for their destination.
Write dialogue between the boy and the alien.
Year 3: https://www.literacyshed.com/catchit.html
Please select one of the activities that you can do today. You can then select another for tomorrow.
Tell the story from a meerkat’s point of view.
Create an internal monologue for the vulture.
Describe the beautiful setting of the African plains.
Some help with the work: A RECOUNT is a piece of writing that tells the things that you did – a little bit like a story – but you write it as “I went there, I did that”. Not a diary entry – but like a short story.
An INTERNAL MONOLOGUE is a speech but it is really what the character is thinking (Internal means inside and monologue is something one person says) So you can write this in a thought bubble.
a DIALOGUE is speech between two characters – you could set this out like a play – you write the character’s name in the margin and then the things that they say. You DO NOT use speech marks when you are writing a play.
Project: As I mentioned, the moneys in Borth Zoo drank tea (I think I am very connected to these creatures through our mutual love of tea!) here is a link to a film about the Capuchin monkeys and the things that they eat.
Can you list all the foods and drinks that this cheeky monkey eats in the wild?
How are they able to search for such a variety of food?
Civet Cats Get Tipsy
The Asian civet cat love to eat small rodents, birds, snails and scorpions. From time to time, they get the chance to enjoy their favorite drink: palm juice. And usually only when it’s started to ferment and has developed an alcohol content. If the civet cats drink a little too much palm juice, they get drunk – and fall out of their trees!
Can you imagine a cat falling from the tree? I would love to see your drawings of this happening. Can you draw me a cartoon of the cat getting tipsy and falling?
Finally I have a clip for you to look at – just to show you one of the most beautiful creatures on our planet (that’s not just according to me!) You just need to watch this film. I hope you enjoy it.
