Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Primary School
Welcome to another brand new week of learning Year 2. I wonder what new skills and knowledge you will learn this week?
Here are the weekly challenges. As always, the links and documents needed are underneath.
Have a wonderful week of learning!
Miss Woodend
Good morning Reception.
It’s Magnificent Monday. Can you think of some things that you could describe as being magnificent?
I hope that you all had a lovely weekend and that you are all ready for some more exciting learning.
Here are the learning activities for today. Have fun!!
Today I would like you to watch the set 1 and set 2 speed sounds, by clicking on the link:
Login to Oxford Owl and read your next book. Remember to discuss the story throughout, checking your child’s understanding. Please make a note of any sounds or tricky words that your child struggles with and focus on these throughout the next few days/until they know them.
Please see this week’s set of lessons and activities (click on week 9 for this week’s timetable)
Watch and listen to the short version of Teddy Bear Picnic on CBeebies with Ferne and Rory:
Have you ever been on a picnic before? Think about any picnics that you have shared.
Have they heard the song before? It is a very old song.
Listen to and enjoy the 1950 Bing Crosby recording here, which has been set to some images of teddy
If you were going on a teddy bears’ picnic with one of your teddy bears which one would you take? Draw a picture of your bear and label it. Eg soft fur, long arms, black nose etc.
Remember to sound out carefully when you are writing.
Please go onto the White Rose website and begin on Summer term Week 8 (15th June) Lesson 1
Watch the short video/ presentation and have a go at the activities.
Today I would like you to think about Church.
What is the name of your Church? What is the name of your priest?
What does your Church look like? I would like you to draw a picture of your Church.
Think about what it is like inside your Church. What do you do when you go there? What can you see inside your Church? Who do you see when you go there? Why do we go to Church?
Draw a picture of your Church and priest. Can you write some sentences about your Church and what you have talked about?
Remember to sound out carefully when you are writing.
I hope that you have a lovely day!
Take care and stay safe,
Miss Brisco
Don’t forget to send photos of your learning to me and I will share them at the end of the week.

Hello you little superstars, welcome to this week’s home learning. I hope you have had a lovely weekend and are raring to go!
Please note that as of the 1st July school will no longer be signed up to SumDog, so this is the last full week for you to complete all tasks previously set and try to progress your score.
Epic reading will be changing slightly from the 1st of July, for those of you who signed up you are only able to use it for 2 hours a week. Still plenty of time! Remember, there is still a vast selection on the Acceleread link on the how to help your child section of my learning page, so keep up the great reading work on there too.
Can anyone else get to their reading target this week? We have Isabelle there so far, can you make it to the 100 club with her?
Click below for today’s maths, enjoy.
We have made our way through the Year 3 spelling words thanks to Mrs Nel’s hard work teaching spelling lessons at school, so there is no need for a spelling quiz this week. Plus we need to crack on with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Let’s get reading!

Happy Monday Year 1!
Read moreGood morning Year 6. Welcome to our last 4 weeks of learning. As I said in the blog on Friday, we have two more weeks of formal learning followed by a week of transition and then a final week in school. On Friday, I will be in a position to tell you your form groups for St Bedes. I won’t be able to tell you which form it is, just who you will be with from our school.
Read moreSo a really big thank you from me. You need to sit back, smile and celebrate all of your efforts last week. Watch the video with pride and the winners are announced right at the very end! You may want to get a drink, the film is 15 minutes full of a selection of photographs.

Art Home Learning (Wk 3)
It is very exciting as the school welcomes back more children through it’s doors, a slightly different school for now, but still with all your happy, smiling teachers.

You have been brilliant in sports day this week - I wonder who will take the win??
As Miss Hornby has said in her blog, the teachers will be in school full time from next week so we won’t be as contactable. I will do my best to get back to your emails as quickly as I can, but please be patient with me.
Have a lovely weekend all of you and really well done for a fantastic week.
Next week….. Viking myths!! We will see what Thor, Loki and Odin get up to!!

You have made us all so proud, with all of your super photos from your home learning. Keep up the good work.
You have sent lots of photographs this week of what you have been up to and I have made them into a little movie for you. I hope that you like it. Just click on the movie below.
Have a lovely weekend.
We are looking forward to seeing some of you next week when you return to school - make sure that you have read the information on Miss Hornby’s front page about returning to school.
Keep smiling and being kind to each other
Take care and stay safe
Miss Brisco and the Reception Team xx
Wow, what a week. I have been blown away with your learning and your attitudes, receiving your emails really makes me smile. Your sports day entries have been fantastic and I’m excited to hear the results.
Well done Year 3.
Please scroll down to the bottom of the page, there’s lots to see.
Have a look at two of your friend’s predictions for part of the story of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
I was so unbelievably happy to hear that we can now open the school to more pupils. A school’s heartbeat is definitely the laughter of the children and the smiles that we see everyday. The past 12 weeks was not how I intended the children to finish their primary school journey but I am so grateful that we get to spend the last week together. It will be a little different and we will be in two learning bubbles, but I am busy being creative and trying to plan ways that we can celebrate the last week together - but afar! The children have been putting their own ideas on the class blog. I am really excited!

Read moreWe’ve reached yet another Friday Year 2! I hope that you all have a focused end to the week!
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.
Enjoy Chapter 2 - ‘Dark is kind’
Day 5:
Using your plan from yesterday, write your story – either to match ‘I Walk With Vanessa’ or your own story about kindness.
Use the pictures in the book or your own plan to help you sequence the different parts of your story. Remember to rehearse each sentence out loud to check it makes sense before you write it down.
Include character thoughts and feelings – remember you want to inspire your reader to be kind too!
You may also choose to include some of the new vocabulary you have found this week.
Proof-read your work to check for spelling and punctuation. If you have written the story to match ‘I Walk With Vanessa’, you could replay the sharing of the pictures here:
Share your story with your family or email it to myself if you can. Enjoy spreading some kindness! I can’t wait to read your creations!
Multi-syllable words.
Choose a spelling rule to focus on today.
Complete the ‘Position and Direction’ challenge questions below. How much can you remember from this week’s learning?

You have looked at some extracts this week from books by David Walliams. You might have already read some or all of his books. Do you have a favourite? Why is it your favourite? If you haven’t read any before, which was your favourite extract from this week? Which one made you want to read more?
Write a review in Purple Mash - either for one of David Walliams’ books, or for one of the extracts read this week.
