In Maths, we are going to practise all the times tables we have looked at this week – 2’s, 5’s and 10’s – there are some fun games to play to test yourself.

In English, we are thinking about capital letters in our writing and where we need to use them.

In Phonics today we are looking at the ey sounds – can you sort out Mrs Browns words?

In RE – we are continuing to learn about the Creation according to Christians. Last week we listened to a lovely song and today there is a sort story to watch.

The weather is beautiful today, so make sure you enjoy the sun on your faces too!

Keep sending me your messages and videos I love to see what you are doing!

I hope you enjoy celebrating VE Day tomorrow and have a fun Bank Holiday weekend!

Sending you a smile,

Mrs Brown

Hello everyone. I hope you are all well and happy!

Todays suggested learning on Tapestry is as follows:-

In Maths, we will continue with our times tables (you are doing so well with them). Today we will practise counting in 10s. 

In English, we will play a Game of Pass the Story. Check out Tapestry for more details – it’s lots of fun!

In Phonics today there are some sentences to read together. These sentences have lots of our phonics sounds in them, so I know you will be great at this!

In Geography today you will need your detective hat on! Will you be able to find out the answers to Mrs Brown’s questions about continents? hmm I wonder who will answer them all?

Mrs Grason has set a Blue Peter Badge challenge – how totally exciting- I wish I could do it! Read the information on Mr Grason’s email or on Tapestry to see what you need to do. Go for it! You can do it, I Know you can!

The sun is shining today, so make sure you enjoy some time in the fresh air with the sun on your faces.

Good morning Learners and families!

If you haven’t already voted for your favourite story from last week, then today is your last day to do this! Login to Tapestry and select the Let’s Vote update – its easy to do!

Today in English, we are going to play a game of Character Guess Who – describe in detail anyone you like (a super hero, a book character, a family member, a teacher) but don’t say their name. The other person has to guess who you are describing! – It’s fun!

Yesterday in maths we counted in 2s and today we will count in 5s – practise makes perfect!

In phonics we will focus on the au sound – as in the word haunted.

Let’s make some VE day bunting and flags today to prepare for Fridays celebrations!

Good morning everyone!

Its is Friday today and it is also the new month of May.

In phonics today, we will look at the ph sound. This sound is in words like elephant, dolphin and phonics! Click on the document through Tapestry and see which real or pseudo words you can read.

DT – Let’s design and make a healthy sandwich today. Remember it is important to design it first and to think about the ingredients and utensils you will need. Also to think about how your sandwich is healthy. We have done this in class before so you will be experts!

Look out for our final story of the week tonight. Over the weekend I will send out a reminder of all five stories this week and we can vote for our favourite – just like we do in class.
