Good morning Learners and families!
Today Chester Zoo are holding a Virtual Zoo Day (from 10am onwards). This might be fun to check out.
You could even draw a picture of your favourite animal and write a description of it in your purple book! hmm I think mine would be a giraffe!
Its fantastic to see what you’re getting up to through Tapestry….so keep posting!
Look out for tonight’s Bedtime Story too!
Keep smiling 🙂

We have been reading the Very Hungry Caterpillar and have done lots of lovely painting and threading and playing.
Here is a link to a video of the talented Eric Carle,the author and illustrator.
Take a look. Perhaps you could send us your story telling on Tapestry

Good Morning to you all. It is a bit frosty but I do think that when the sun starts to shine the garden will be a lovely place to be so with this in mind I have a suggestion for learning today taken from one of my most favourite books.
Have a wonderful day people. I will do a story during the morning so look out for a post on Tapestry
Hello Leaders!
Another beautiful day so let’s enjoy the sunshine. Have a look around your garden or local environment and see how many different minibeasts you can find. You might also want to make a list of the amount of each different one that you find and then make a graph to show your results. I am going to do some investigation myself and will show you what I find tomorrow.
With the beautiful weather, it made me think about being our in our forest, so I have also posted a link to teach yourself how to try a reef knot. If you don’t have a piece of rope see if you can borrow a shoelace – just remember to return it afterwards!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aprfVTaxkk0
We’ll try another knot later in the week – that way we’ll be prepared for our first forest school session back in school – den building and hot chocolate.
Enjoy the sunshine.

Good morning all,
It has been lovely speaking with many of you over the past few days. It has been nice to hear that you are enjoying the sunshine, and have been keeping busy with fun and exciting activities that your families have planned for you.
The maths book that I sent home is definitely challenging, so my advice would be to attempt the questions that you are confident with, perhaps in section A, and then have a break with some fun maths activities online. Here is a website that I would recommend:
https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/kids-activities/fun-maths-games-and-activities/
I also wanted to put some maths questions on this blog for you, I will publish the answers on here tomorrow so that you can check to see if you got them correct:
Good luck!

Hello everyone, another lovely sunny day and a chance to spend some quality time in the garden or a safe outdoor space.
I’d like to start my post by posing a question I was asked on the school playground last week:
‘Why are worms different colours?’
Let’s investigate and carry out lots of observations of minibeasts in their habitats.
Perhaps you might create your own habitat for some woodlice.
If you want to spend some time indoors learning about minibeasts try the ‘Top Marks’ web page they have some super activities.
I also read a super post on shadow drawing which could be done indoors or out. Put a toy animal or other object in front of a white piece of paper and then draw round it on the paper.
These are only suggested activities so please pick and choose as you wish!
I hope you all have a fun day.
Best wishes
Mrs Roe
Good morning everyone!
The sun is shining again, so make the most of the fresh air and enjoying your outside spaces!
I am really enjoying keeping in touch via Tapestry. Spread the word to other families in Learners Class that haven’t yet logged on but would love it too! Even just to watch the bedtime story slot!
Keep busy today and if you would like a task, how about learning some times tables today (only 2’s, 5’s or 10’s) Can you remember we used clapping to help us in class?
Keep me updated with what you are doing through Tapestry, even just to say hello!
I will continue to be ring families regularly. My number will come up as “withheld”. Looking forward to speaking to you all soon!
Keep smiling!
Mrs Brown
Good Morning to you all. I hope that you enjoyed our stories yesterday. A new story will be on later today.
The sun is shining so I am sure that you will all want to take the opportunity to be outside looking for signs of spring and taking care of the worms.

Here is a link to one of our favourite songs if you would like a little reminder. It is Micheal Rosen singing,” Threw It Out The Window…” Sing while you are digging.

This link will take you to a guide to help you identify signs of spring.
If you are spending time inside today you could have a look around your house to find any clocks. I had fun yesterday taking pictures of all of mine. You can send me pictures on Tapestry.
Have a play around with some fun online timers and let me know what you can do in 1 minute.

Have fun and stay safe.

Good afternoon Discoverers,
After spending some time outside this morning, in the beautiful sunshine, I thought I would take a break and play some games on Sumdog. I hope you’re all proud of me, as I only need seven more coins before I am moved from a ‘common rat’ to my next animal rank, yippee!
I wondered if any of you would like to join me in some games? Tomorrow morning (Thursday 26th March) at 9:00am, I am going to play cake monsters. Simply join the game yourself at this time and we can battle against each other 🙂
Thank you to those of you who have given me gifts, as I build my coins I will be giving gifts to those of you who are also playing on Sumdog.
Happy gaming all,
Mrs Taylor
What a lovely day!
What about using your science knowledge to carry out another heart rate investigation after exercise. You could maybe find the difference in heart rates for all members of your family after doing the same amount of exercise. Remember to make it ‘fair’ to give you the best results.
For those of you who would like something different to Joe Wicks, here are some other ideas to keep you active: http://www.imovement.com are the activities we tried whilst we were still in school; Oti Mabuse, from Strictly, is also doing a dance class for those dancers amongst us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Btxws8qvYAA
It has been lovely hearing what you have all being doing so far and I will continue to be in contact with you and your families over the coming days. Remember to think about your 3 week challenge – once I know what everyone is doing I will post them here so you can see what everyone has challenged themselves with.
Enjoy the sunshine and stay safe.
Mrs Walker
