Good morning Year 6. So this week we should have been heading off to sunny Coniston to enjoy all of the excitement that a week at Water Parks brings. Unfortunately, as with many things this year, it has been put on the back burner but that does not mean that we cannot bring Water Parks to us!

Good morning Year 2 and welcome to a brand new week of learning. Can you believe that this is the final week of learning before the half term holidays? I certainly can’t!

Have a wonderful week!

I’m sure you are missing all your friends but meeting up online. Make sure you all stay save online- tell your trusted adult if you see, hear or read anything that you feel uncomfortable with. I have again created an overview of this weeks learning- there is a theme this week: DEADLY CREATURES!!

Welcome to Monday’s learning Year 2. I hope that you all had a great sleep and are ready for the day ahead.
Phonics
I understand that the phonics videos are now repeating themselves because all of the sounds have been taught. If you feel that revisiting these sounds is worthwhile for your child, please do keep accessing the videos using the link below:
Reading
Continue reading and quizzing on books using the Accelerated Reading and Epic Reading resources. Help can be found in the ‘How to help your child’ section of my page if you need it.
Remember, you should be reading for at least half an hour each day. Also try to read both a range of fiction and non-fiction books.
It also isn’t too late to sign up for the Epic Reading resource. If you would like access to a huge range of books, some with quizzes, please send an email to l.woodend@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk. This will enable me to send you an invite to create an account.

Amazing birds! Prepare to be amazed! Over the next couple of weeks, enjoy finding out all about our amazing feathered friends, using a range of texts, online resources and articles.
Day 1
Discuss with your child: What do you already know about birds? What questions might you have about birds? E.g. Can all birds fly? What is the smallest/ biggest bird in the world? Where do birds live? Over the next two weeks, your research will hopefully help you in answering some of your questions! Ask your child to write down any questions they may have, reminding them to use question marks.
Watch What are Birds? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z6882hv/articles/zyd6hyc
Ask, what do you know about birds now? Watch the clip a few times, each time pausing to allow your child to record key facts. Perhaps you could record different facts on sticky notes and make a fact poster.
Now watch All About Birds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF0Id-hH9y4
Record more key facts on sticky notes. Have any of your questions been answered already? Begin to pick out some new words and talk about their meaning, e.g. vertebrates, bill, habitat, camouflage.
Use Word Hippo: https://www.wordhippo.com/ to look up new words and find out what they mean. Practise putting any new words into new sentences.

'Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God.'
Each week, I am trying to create virtual experiences of the things that you may be missing from your final term at Our Ladys. You are a wonderfully talented class and at the end of this week, you should have been sharing your talents with each other at Water Parks. I am really proud that I can share your talents, not only with our class mates, but with our whole school community. For those children who didn’t manage to send me anything, you are all talented. Listen carefully…your voice is there for all to hear!

Each week Year 4, I will collate photos and videos and put them into a movie so we can celebrate our week.
It has been a week, where we have learned about a character Lila and the three gifts she possessed to meet her goal. It fills my heart with joy seeing so many of you each day striving to improve and having the determination like Lila to never give in - persevere and believe you can do it!
At the very end of the story, she realises that all the Firework Makers love what they create and that is why they do it. That is why I teach and it is why you learn too! You must feel such pride in what you have created this week - and in previous weeks. Enjoy watching this video and keep striving to improve like Lizzie Ladybird!
To the wonderful Mrs Kennedy!! From the bottom of our hearts we thank you!!!
It gives me pain to place this picture on my Blog! But for you Mrs Kennedy I will!!!

Grown ups please let us know if you do not want photos or videos of your child to be used, thank you.
Have a lovely weekend, the Year 3 team.

'When you possess light within you, you see it externally.'
Another heartfelt thank you for all of your efforts this week. If you are anything like me, you will have had a little sadness in your heart this week as I feel this was the first big thing that the children would not experience this year. I was determined to try and get something out of SATs week and give the children a smile along the way.
