Information regarding activities that can be completed at home.

We are looking at ways of providing work for children who may not be at school at this time. In our most recent letter we informed you that we were working on providing distant learning and staff are continuing to work hard to provide this facility if the school is directed to close.

This will be many parents' first experience of home education. Below you'll find a few tips that may just help smooth the transition into teaching from home:

• Make a learning plan. This could include a timetable, ground rules, aims, topics and reward schemes. Doing this on day one will help you stay organised and in control. 
• Stay active. Whether it's a silly dance, star jumps or jogging on the spot, exercise is proven to help children focus and absorb information. 
• Get dressed. It might sound obvious but don't be tempted to let your child stay in their PJ's all day. They're far more likely to take home education seriously if they're dressed for the occasion. 
• Stay in touch. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask for help or advice.
• Relax. Whether you think so or not, you're going to be great! No one expects you to be a pro straight away so don't put too much pressure on yourself. And if you ever feel like it's all getting a bit too much, take your child for a walk or read a book together.

Try your best and remember 'It's nothing new' we have been doing these in class and have been doing some in the Revision section.

Then write out the words and put them into groups? One for words with oo, one for words with ew and one for words with u-e? 

Next try spotting and underlining the best friends in each word.

Finally think of some other words you can add to your lists. Maybe you could write a silly sentence for each sound. One for the  oo, one for the ew and one for the u-e with as many words from your list in each sentence.  For example 'I went to the zoo and saw the moon. I put too much food on my spoon and fell into a pool.

For our class work today we will write out a poem about reading. I know lots of you have been doing lovely activities related to books and reading this week.

Read to Me
 

Read to me riddles and read to me rhymes
Read to me stories of magical times
Read to me tales about castles and kings
Read to me stories of fabulous things
Read to me pirates and read to me knights
Read to me dragons and dragon-book fights
Read to me spaceships and cowboys and then
When you are finished- please read them again.

By Jane Yolen

_________________________________________

Books are for Looks
 

Books are for looks; a look for a tale
Of possible a lion, a tiger, or a whale.

A look for adventure, exciting, intense
With mystery unfolding and growing suspense.

A look for a fact, to inform or relate,
A picture, a poem, or a word to locate.

You never can tell when you start to look
What interesting things may come in a book!

By Isabelle Spooner

Here is a link to a fun story you may like to hear.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTbINnlW4sI

Can you use the spelling strategy we use called 'ransom notes' to practise these words?

You will need to cut out each letter from an old magazine or newspaper to make up each word.

Choose the Clic level you are on in class.  If you can't remember, try the one you feel comfortable doing.  If you find it is too easy, go up to the next Clic.  If you find it too hard, then go down one.

If you have any problems please get in touch with Mrs Witheridge and we will see what we can do to help.

A little song for you today all about reading.

Some great easy science experiments you can try out.

Friday 3rd April

Hello girls and boys.  I hope you are all well and you are keeping safe.

Some more Easter activities for you to try :-

Easter Maracas

You will need :-

plastic egg

2 plastic spoons

some rice

tape

Half fill the egg with some rice.  Position the spoons either side of the egg, carefully wrap the tape around the spoons.

Shake and jiggle away 

Remember to use 'what you know' or look back at the tables chart to help you.

Salt dough Easter eggs

1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup water

Stir together all three ingredients until a dough forms. Kneading the dough a couple times can help make it smoother.

Roll it out ( to 1/4 inch thick) and cut out desired shapes.

Place the salt dough Easter eggs on the parchment-covered baking sheets. Remember to make a hole so you can hang them — a straw works perfectly!

Bake at 250F/130C for 2 hours.

When cool,  paint with one colour.  When dry decorate with dots, stripes, glitter.  Add twine/string to hang.

Admire your achievements, you have worked hard.  Well done 

We would like to say a big THANK YOU for all your hard work over the past couple of weeks.

It has been a very hard time for everyone.  You have probably been missing your friends (hopefully you have been able to chat on social media) and missing your routine in school.  I know that we have been missing you.  All the chatter and the questions you have for us every day, its awfully quiet without you.

You will be pleased to hear that we will not be putting any activities on here for the next two weeks.  That will give you plenty of chance to enjoy the holidays with your family.  Make sure you take time for some exercise and fresh air, give yourself some fun challenges, chill, listen to some music, dance (when no one is looking!), read a book/magazine, learn something new.  Be kind and thoughtful to brothers and sisters (if you have any) and help out around the house when you can.

Some online games for you to try during the holidays.

https://www.agame.com/games/easter_games

ENJOY your Easter break.  HAVE FUN and don't eat tooooooo many eggs .

How about trying to find as many words as you can in the word  r e l a x i n g

An example - ear

Write as many as you can in your work book.  Remember to write the date too.

Homemade Microwave Puffy Paint

Start with one cup of flour and mix in 3 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt and enough water to make it the consistency of pancake batter.  Divide the mix into four parts and put them into snack size Ziploc bags along with some food colouring. Part of the fun is squishing it all around to mix up the colours!

Rubber band the bags like you would if you were icing a cake and snip off the teeniest little bit of the tip.

Paint away! When you’re finished, pop the painting into the microwave for 30-45 seconds and watch the paint puff up and grow – such fun!
