What a glorious week to be at home completing home learning. In extraordinary circumstances, the weather is certainly providing us with lots of hope and a smile. Thank you all so much for engaging as much as you have with learning - I have loved receiving photographs of you all working and playing and one or two videos
Read moreChildren thank you for being wonderful this week. I have loved sharing your online learning journey.
Read moreWhat beautiful weather we have been blessed with this week. It could not have been more perfect! I would like to say a huge thank you for making me up to date on your learning at home through humorous daily round ups, and such lovely photos, receiving these has been the highlight to my days.
Next week the learning from home will follow a similar pattern. I have heard many positive comments about how much your children are enjoying Purple mash and Sum Dog. I have made sure that we utilise this enjoyment along with getting up and active.
I am wishing you all a wonderful weekend together, take care of one another and stay safe. Remember that I am always just an email away should you have any queries.
Take care and thinking of you all,
Miss Bassett
When I wrote my weekly newsletter and asked you to send me photographs of your physical development activities I had no idea just how resourceful you would all be! You’ve moved the furniture in your homes, you’ve taken to the back garden and some of you have even continued with your yoga!
Then there are those of you who have created a whole gymnastics display!
Happy Friday children! We’re nearly at the end of our first week of home learning. Here are today’s activities…
Read more1. Phonics: Please practise one of those tricky sounds that you identified yesterday.
2. Maths: Today why not have a go at baking. Whilst doing so you are practising measuring skills and our Reception maths vocab:
· full/ empty
· most/least
· heavy/light
You could also decorate your baking by adding numbers if using icing or shaping biscuits into numerals.
3. PE: Today we would like you to go on a family walk. What do you see on your way? Maybe you could collect objects on your way and make a picture when you get home using the objects that you have found.
Miss Bassett.
Thank you so much for all of your efforts this week, I have loved receiving your emails and seeing the blog…it has brought a real smile to my face!
Read moreGood evening!
Thought I would brighten up your day a little more with more home learning photographs.
Looking through today’s photographs got me thinking about this term’s virtues ‘grateful and generous’. Although things are a little different and we are having to adapt to different day to day lives, maybe you could sit down as a family this evening and have a think about what we are grateful for and how we can still be generous in these tough times.
I love how many of you have managed to take your learning out into the lovely sunshine over the past couple of days.
Sending my love,
Miss Woodend
Hi children well done, you have made it to Friday - the end of a long and unusual week. Just maths , English and science today oh yes and PE.

I know a lot of you are joining in with Joe Wicks in the morning - keep doing this. Other children have been for isolation walks and bike rides. Have fun doing this active activities too.
Task 1 Maths
It’s nearly the weekend, and you most certainly all deserve a rest. Just one more day of learning - you can do it!
Read moreHello everyone and a happy Friday to you! Here is your home learning below. Have a good rest over the weekend - or catch up on anything you are behind with! Keep up with all that lovely reading too.
English
The Dragon Slayer grammar! Today we are thinking about using Possessive Apostrophes. I know you did this in class with Miss Edmondson. I have put a video on the Help section and I would like you to read my helpsheet below and then complete the mild, spicy and hot activities in your Yellow Home Learning books. Make sure you feel really confident with how to use apostrophes and especially WHEN NOT to use them - they are not for every word ending in s!
Maths
Quite a lot of Sum Dog challenges today to practise those tables. If you dont finish today, do some over the weekend.
Science
I hope you enjoyed your investigation into PItch and Volume yesterday. Today we are going to be thinking about ears and how the sound reaches them. Please read your instructions below on my helpsheet/experiment sheet.
Then read the info about Animal Ears.
Finally, Check your Purple Mash 2 dos make a leaflet all about Animals with the best hearing!
Good Morning
Well this is the last day of the first week of learning at home. The weekend starts tomorrow, so no home learning will be set after today - until Monday morning. Well done to all of you who have been busy working and learning at home, we hope that you have enjoyed it.
Today we would like you to try to make sure that you have done all of the tasks set so far this week, and to also get the tasks done for today. Have you checked out the weekly challenges?
On the weekly challenges you will hopefully have noticed that one of the tasks was to make sandwiches for everyone to enjoy. Well done if you have done this already. I know some people have, (look at the photos - delicious!!!).
Today’s English is to write instructions for making a sandwich of your choice, you can do this on Purple Mash. Make sure that you think carefully about your instructions, writing them in order, using imperative (bossy) verbs, using time adverbials etc. Think of your ending sentence to finish off your instructions too. Once you have done this save your instructions so that we can have a look at them. Make sure that they can be followed easily by someone else - don’t miss any bits out otherwise your sandwiches might be very strange!!!!!
There are lots of Sumdog challenges on line, have you had a go at these? If you have not accessed Sumdog yet please make sure that you look at the Sumdog blog from Monday (23/03). It will tell you how to access your account and what your username and password are. There is even a video put together by Mrs Hotchkiss to explain what to do, make sure you check it out.
We would also like you to have a go at comparing and ordering measurements today.
Part 1. Pick a set of 6 items and measure them carefully.
Measure 2 of them in mm
Measure 2 of them in cm and mm
Measure 2 of them in m, cm and mm
eg Item 1 = 85mm Item 2 = 45mm Item 3 = 6cm 5mm Item 4 = 10cm Item 5 = 1m 85cm Item 6 = 3m
Part 2. Can you order them from shortest to longest?
Look carefully at the measurements you have made. What do you notice. Does the item with biggest number mean it is the longest or the one with the smallest number mean the shortest? Can you explain?
Try out a different set of objects.
We have come to the end of our first week of learning at home. Take some time to thank God for the fun times that you have all had.
Write a Thank You prayer to God thanking Him for all of the good things that have happened to you this week. Illustrate your prayer.
Don’t forget to spend a little quiet time with God sharing this prayer with Him. You might want to light a candle and find some objects or a picture to look at, like we do during liturgy in class.
Maybe you could take a picture and send it to us or send us an email with your prayer written on it so that we can share them with everyone.
Have a good weekend. Take care and stay safe xxx
