Let’s look at this final message and make a Mary acrostic poem. Keep it on your wall to remember to say your 3 Hail Mary’s each night throughout the Summer.

Reception Learning from Home Thursday 16th July

Good morning Reception. It’s our last day doing home learning as a class today. Tomorrow being the final day of the year before the summer holidays, we will be working together (virtually of course) as a whole school to complete some activities and celebrate the year. Make sure that you check the class blog tomorrow for all of the photos from the week and a final “Good-bye” from the Reception Team

I hope that you enjoy the final day working as part of the Reception Class, very soon you will be in Year 1 (Isn’t it exciting!!!. I bet you can’t wait - I know Miss Lane is super excited and can’t stop talking about how great you were last week.)

Today’s Learning Activities:

English - Traditional Tales

Watch the story The Three Billy Goats Gruff

Can you answer these questions? Who went over the bridge first, next, last? Where were they going? Why? What did the troll say? What happened to the troll? What happened to the billy goats?

Can you make a bridge? You might want to use Lego or other construction toys. Then using your toys or teddies can you act out the story?

Maybe you could use different voices for the different characters. Have fun!

White Rose Maths

Lesson 4 w/b 29th June

Have a look at today’s activity. I hope that you are good at dancing!!! Don’t forget to make a list of which songs you will play 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. Think about your moves and have fun!

Reading

Make sure that you keep up with your reading during the summer holidays. Have you signed up for the library summer reading challenge yet? If you haven’t why not sign up for it now and see if you can read lots of books during the summer and complete the challenge. It’s great fun and it will get your ready for Year 1 too. Your grown ups will need to sign up for you using their email address.

Maybe you could have a look at the list of books that I have made a link to on the button below and see how many of them you have read. This will really help you with you work when you get into Year 1 next year.

(Challenge - can you tick them all off before the end of the summer???)

PE

Remember it’s really important to keep active. Think about what you can do today to keep active. Maybe you want to have a go at something you are good at because you enjoy doing it. Or maybe you know there is something that you would like to get better at and need a bit of practise with. Maybe you would like to have a go at more than one thing! You choose!

I hope that you have a super day.

Don’t forget to send me some photos of what you have been doing.

Year 4 Home learning Wednesday 15th July

A new challenge today! Be really resilient and courageous with this one - Sadie Spiders and Tommy Turtles please!!

Maths

Celebrating Year 4

You have done so many things to be proud of in Year 4. I would like to reflect on and celebrate all the things you are proud of achieving in Year 4 today in form of a slideshow in Purple Mash.

PLEASE include all your wonderful achievements and adventures from lockdown. I would love to know what you have thought about your lockdown experience.

Faith-Filled and Hopeful

Let us reflect again on our role model of faith and hope - Mary.

Reception Learning from Home Wednesday 15th July 2020

Good morning children. It’s our last Wonderful Wednesday of the school year - Can you think of 3 wonderful things about your time in Reception?

Today’s Learning Activities:

English - Traditional Tales

Watch and enjoy the story of Jack and the Beanstalk

Discuss the story and see if you can answer these questions: What did Jack swap for the cow? What was special about the beans? Who lived at the top of the beanstalk? How did Jack escape the Giant?

Do you really think that if you planted beans like in the story, they would grow overnight?

Have you ever grown anything before? I know some of you have been growing things during lockdown.

Look at CBeebies: How Does Your Garden Grow? for some advice and ideas about growing plants at home. (Why not plant some seeds which sprout quickly to maintain the children’s interest.)

Maybe you could make a quick-growing cress head like in Mr Bloom’s nursery:

If you don’t have any seeds are available, maybe you could grow leftover vegetable scraps to use in salads.

White Rose Maths

Look at Lesson 3 w/b 29th June

Today we are going to look at the story of Oliver’s Vegetables again. Oliver has been planting vegetables with his grandad. Can you help him to work out his problems? Then help him to sort his vegetables and say how he sorted them.

Learning Characters

At school we have 8 learning characters that help us to focus on what we need to do to grow our brains. Can you remember them all? (Cooper Crab, Sadie Spider, Roger Robin, Tommy Turtle, Clara Clownfish, Lizzie Ladybird, Kiki Chameleon and of course enthusiastic Bobby Bee)

Can you draw a picture of each of the learning characters and think about how you can be more like them?During the summer holidays can you try to do things that help you to grow more like each of them?

Have fun and think how you can continue to grow your brain - you might want to set yourself a challenge and see if you can achieve it before the end of the holidays. (Learn how to ride your bike, learn how to climb to the top of the climbing frame or go across the monkey bars, learn how to tie your shoe laces, be able to count to 100, or count in 2s or know your address. These are just some examples of things that you might want to do but I’m sure you could think of your own. )

PE

Remember it’s really important to keep active. Think about what you can do today to keep active. Maybe you want to have a go at something you are good at because you enjoy doing it. Or maybe you know there is something that you would like to get better at and need a bit of practise with. Maybe you would like to have a go at more than one thing! You choose!

I hope that you have a super day.
Don’t forget to send me some photos of what you have been doing. (Please send all photos by lunchtime tomorrow so that I can make them into a little photo movie. Thank you)

Year 3 Wednesday 15th July 2020 home learning

‘Dream big little ones.’

Reading

How is your reading coming along? Will you manage to meet your reading target before the end of the week? Isabella has met her target, well done!

RE

Click below for today’s RE challenges.

Maths

Today I would like you to make a maths board game that you and your family can play over the holidays to keep that maths brain of yours ticking. Pick the area of maths you think you could improve on ( x + - or divide), make it fun and interactive. You could even throw some forfeits in! Here are some ideas.

Memories

Today we would like you to share your best memory of Year 3. Please go on Purple Mash and access the 2do called ‘My memory of Year 3’. Write about a funny or interesting thing that happened in Year 3 so that others can read about it. Draw a picture to go with your memory. Once you have saved it please share it to the display board called ‘Year 3 Memories’ by clicking on the share option of the drop down menu.

Year 2 Home Learning - Wednesday 15th July

Good Morning Year 2!

Have a look at the image below. Do you recognise it?

That’s right! We looked at this image right at the beginning of Year 2 when we were thinking about our class rules and expectations. Have another close look at the classroom and think carefully about the following questions:

Which Blob do you think best represents you and your time in Year 2?
Do any Blobs show any of the great choices that you made in Year 2? Do any of the Blobs represent any of the wrong choices you may have made in Year 2?
Which feelings do the Blobs represent? What colours would you associate with those feelings? For example red for anger or yellow for happy. If you are able to print the image, you could colour each Blob in the colour to match their feeling.
Remember that everyone looks at the image in different ways. What you think might be different to what someone else thinks. Did you ever think that someone felt a certain way in Year 2 when it turned out that they didn’t feel that way at all?
Maybe you could give the Blobs that represent you a number and then write about when you felt like that in Year 2 and why. You could have felt like many of the Blobs - remember this is perfectly fine!

Enjoy reflecting upon your thoughts and feelings throughout your time in Year 2.

Good morning! This weeks ‘Let’s Learn from Home’ is all about play dough!!

I LOVE messy play!!

Reception Learning from Home Tuesday 14th July

Good morning children. It’s Terrific Tuesday again - try to do some terrific work today. Can you be a Bobby Bee?

Today’s Learning Activities:

English - Traditional Tales

Read and enjoy the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears: or you may have your own version to share together.

Then have a go at answering the questions

What happened when Goldilocks ate Baby Bear’s porridge?  How do you think she felt when she broke Baby Bear’s chair? What happened when she fell asleep in Baby Bear’s bed? How do you think the three bears felt when they saw everything that Goldilocks had done? How might Goldilocks have felt when she got home and thought about her behaviour?

Can you write a letter from Goldilocks to the three bears to say sorry? What will she write? Remember to use your phonics to help with your sounding out and spelling.

White Rose Maths

Lesson 2 w/b 29th June

Today we are going to look at the story of Oliver’s Fruit Salad. Can you play the game - I went to the market and bought …? (I love playing this game - whenever I play it I always like to create pictures in my head and I find that it helps me to remember. Maybe it will help you too!) Then can you look at the pictures and ask and answer some questions? Have fun!

Postcard

You have been in Reception since last September and you have grown so much and learned such a lot. Think about what it was like to start at school. Were you excited or were you a little bit worried and scared? When the new Reception children come into school in September some of them might be a bit worried and not know what to do.

Can you use Purple Mash and write them a postcard to tell them how wonderful it is in Reception and to tell them not to worry?

PE

Remember it’s really important to keep active. Think about what you can do today to keep active. Maybe you want to have a go at something you are good at because you enjoy doing it. Or maybe you know there is something that you would like to get better at and need a bit of practise with. Maybe you would like to have a go at more than one thing! You choose!

I hope that you have a super day.

Year 3 Tuesday 14th July 2020 home learning

‘Every child is a different kind of flower, altogether they make this world a beautiful garden.’

Reading

Can you finish the book you are currently reading? Could you count how many pages you have left and set yourself a set number of pages each day to get to the end of it. A big well done to Esme and India who have met their targets.

RE

Let’s get on with our next RE lesson.

Science

This week we go back to a little bit of Science and investigative skills. What do you wonder about? There are so many things I wonder about as I experience the world, what about you? I want you to pick something you wonder about and investigate and experiment until you find some sort of answer. It might be that you make something or write a song to teach others about it. Look below for some inspiration in the form of a song, a video clip of questions and a photo of Steph’s wonderings a couple of weeks ago when she wondered about how clouds were formed on a wet weekend.

Secret thank you task

I would like you to open Purple Mash and access the 2do called ‘Thank you’, please draw pictures of our lovely ladies who have worked with you in Year 3. Please read the information with the 2do as I don’t want to say too much now! Shhhhhh!

Year 2 Home Learning - Tuesday 14th July

Good morning Year 2. How are you all today?

Last week whilst working with some of the Year 1s, I discovered that many of them had worries about Year 2 and felt a little nervous about moving into a different class with new teachers.

Therefore, today I would like you to write a postcard to Year 1. In your postcard I would like you to tell the Year 1s what they can expect when they come into Year 2. Do they need to be worried? What will they be learning about in Year 2? Include your favourite memories from your time in Year 2. What made you smile? What advice would you give them? If you could go back, is there anything that you would change? Have you grown to be more of our learning characters this year?

Use the template below if you wish. I have also created a 2DO for you on Purple Mash if you would prefer to write it on there.

Here are some photographs to inspire you!

Year 4 Home learning Tuesday 14th July

English

Today you are going to do a bit of Year 4 writing revision and then you are going to create a magical item! My video went a bit wrong! It was supposed to have me in the top right corner but it didn’t work. But it still has my voice! At one point I show you a stone - now obviously you will not be able to see it!

Maths

Celebrating Year 4

Today I have set you a purple mash task to write a postcard to a new year 4 pupil. Your aim is to make them feel excited and hopeful!

Give them lots of advice about what it is like in Year 4 and what you need to be like. You could tell them about some things we learn about. I can then display them on our shared school board for them to read.!

Faith Filled and Hopeful

Today we will learn about how Mary praised God. Read and complete the prayer below.
