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:

  1. Lucy visited the shop to buy some milk, bread and eggs. The bread cost £1.20 and the eggs cost £2.40. She paid with a £10 note and received £5 change. How much did the milk cost?
  2. Drew decided to mow the grass, but first he had to collect all of the balls that his dog had left out. For every 2 tennis balls, there were 3 footballs. If there were 6 tennis balls, how many footballs were there? 
  3. Lillie wanted to play Sumdog, and was aiming to be the world’s best player. The top score was 15,292, her score was 6, 397. How many more points did she need to be in the lead? Don’t forget, to be in the lead she needs to score more than 15,292 altogether. 

Good luck!

Good Morning Sunshine!!

Scott Grason-Taylor

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

 

 

 

Hello Thursday!

Scott Grason-Taylor

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 26th March 2020

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.

Sumdog Saga

Scott Grason-Taylor

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.

Sunny Wednesday

Scott Grason-Taylor

Good morning everyone,

I hope you are all well! The sun is shining on this lovely Wednesday morning!

I am declaring today a “National” (well Learners class) Read a Book in the Garden Day. So get outside, just a chair in the sun will do and enjoy reading any book you like with the sun shining down on your face. What could be better!

Don’t forget to send me your pictures and videos on Tapestry….. it’s a great way to stay in touch!

Keep smiling!

Mrs Brown

Good Morning! It’s a lovely sunny day to raise our spirits.

Scott Grason-Taylor

It’s a lovely day for some outdoor learning and I’d like to share some Forest School ideas with you.

  • Make some pictures in the garden using twigs, leaves, stones and mud. These could be family portraits or pets.
  • You could create your own garden clock making numbers from stones and using twigs for the hands.
  • Build a small den for a toy animal or doll. You could even test that it’s waterproof!

Indoor activities:

  • Make a watch from paper or a clock face to go on a box.
  • Create some art work to display in your windows to help cheer people up. Perhaps a rainbow, sunflower or hearts.

I would like to recommend the website San Diego Zoo Kids. We have used this in school and it has lots of information on all the animals, videos and live cams, games, activities and stories.

Hope you have a happy day!

Mrs Roe

Keeping Busy at Home

Scott Grason-Taylor

Hi Discoverers, 

I hope you are keeping busy at home, with some fun things to do. 

I have put lots of wool in the chest, which is outside of the school entrance. Please help yourself to this, baring in mind that others may want some too. With this wool you can make pom poms: you can make animals out of them, or decorate the rooms in your house. I have found the video below which should help you:

 There are also plenty of other things in the chest, such as skipping ropes, so that you can keep busy outside, and lots of material if you would like to make dens, or make things out of it. 

There continues to be plenty of pictures to colour in, and lots of different pens to use. 

Here is the link to Joe Wicks’ PE, if you would like to complete this at home:

I will keep in touch with you through this blog,  speak soon, Mrs taylor.
