Good Morning Hedgehogs!
I hope you had a good day yesterday – not quite as sunny but at least it didn’t rain. I hope you’re remembering to keep active with your daily walk or doing Joe Wicks. Is anybody doing any different types of exercise? You could share what you’re doing and it might give your friends some fun ideas on how to keep active.

Year 1: Please practice writing the following words: there, where, love, come, some, one. Try doing ‘Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check’ – look at the word, say it out loud, cover it up, have a go at writing it and then check if it is correct. You could get an adult or an older brother/sister to test you! Remember to try and join your letters if you can.

These links should take you to the correct page for each year group. We’re on to Summer Term – Week 2 (w/c 27 April)
Reception: Day 2 – Night Pirates https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/
Have fun with your floating and sinking activity! If you want to listen to either of the books you can find videos of both of them being read on YouTube.
Year 1: Lesson 2 – Find a quarter (1) https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/
You (or an adult) can check your answers after you’ve completed the activity
Extra Activity:
Have a listen to an audio book on audible. https://stories.audible.com/discovery?ref=adbl_ent_anon_pdp_ds_vn
You can listen to the audio books for free while we’re off school. Some of them are quite long so you might want to listen to it over a couple of days. After you’ve had a listen, you could have a go at creating your own audio book – choose your favourite story and get an adult to help you record it!
Remember you can complete activities from the activity menu anytime you like.
I’ve really enjoyed seeing pictures and videos of you working at home, keep sending them in it really brightens my day!
Keep safe.
Miss Horton.
