We hope this finds you all well and that you found the activities set out last week fun – I am especially looking forward to seeing some more of the Super Veggies you have been making on the class blog!

Here are a few suggestions for activities you may want to follow along with this week:

Maths

Receptions Maths is focussed around ‘The Night Pirates’ story which you can hear read by clicking on the link to hear is read by Ellie Harrison on Cbeebies Bedtime stories. The Troll is also available here too.

This weeks NRich is focussed on tunnels and tubes to link to the Night Pirates story for the Reception children . The Extra challenge cards are on the Maths page for the Year 1’s to see too.

English

Phonics for Reception  Set 1 lessons are a recap of what we have already done and Set 2 will be new learning. There is a new programme everyday starting at 9.30 a.m.

For Reception this week we would like them to take a look at the Oak Academy Materials focussed on writing your own story about the Three Little Pigs. There are 5 lessons, each one can be done in around 20 minutes and have all of the questions and tasks (including a quiz) built in to them too. Please share your stories and ideas with us on the Blog page so we can gather your feedback for the week.

Three stories will be published each week on this YouTube channel and are ideal for Nursery, Reception and KS1 children. So far, they are filming stories by Jeanne Willis, Tom Percival, Jill Murphy, Cressida Owen and Claire Freedman.

Science

Being a Scientist by looking for patterns.  Look here on our website.

Topic

We are starting a new topic called ‘What’s under our feet?’  and we will be learning about …. dinosaurs. But before we start I want you to think about what you know already. Do you know anything already about dinosaurs?  Draw some pictures or take a photo of some of your own toy dinosaurs. Then think about what you would like to find out about dinosaurs. Think of a question . Please get an adult to write these down for you and take a photo for the blog. Have a go at this quiz .   

RE

There’s a new lesson on an Islamic Story to look at for RE this week

Extras

• There’s a new Eco Activity for you to take a look at on our Eco Page, Build a Wild Hide in your garden to watch the local wildlife from.
• I’ve set up a ‘Thank you NHS’ card on Purple Mash to be shared to their #thankyou NHS Display Board and a ‘100 Birthday Card’ for Captain Tom Moore for you to design and share to the Display board set up for him too.
• Why not try this fantastic art idea while the weathers warm and calm? You’ll need to water down the paint a little and play around with the hole you make in the cup, not too big otherwise is runs out too quickly, too small and it’ll create a dot-to-dot!
