Wednesday’s News – 3rd June

Scott Grason-Taylor

Hello everyone!

I hope you are all ok today! The sun has gone in for a while, but I’m sure it will be out again soon!

Today’s suggested learning on Tapestry is as follows:-

In Maths we are looking at 2D shapes and using the correct language to describe them.

In English, we are thinking about persuasion. What does it mean and how do we do it?

Let’s do some spellings today and become experts at spelling the days of the week!

In History, we are being introduced to a new historical figure – Henry VIII – he is so interesting!

Keep in touch with me through Tapestry as always. Do some colouring today or get out a board game – they are always fun!

Keep smiling even though the sun has gone in, it will be out again soon!

Best wishes,

Mrs Brown

Tuesday’s News – 2nd June

Scott Grason-Taylor

Good morning everyone.

I hope you are all well and happy today!

Today’s suggested learning on Tapestry is as follows:-

In Maths, we are still looking at 2D shapes – lets have some fun and make pictures just using shapes! I wonder what you will come up with!

In English, we will have a reading focus today! Why not sign up for the Virtual Summer Reading Challenge on the 5th June – it’s such an achievement to complete it at the end of the summer. Also, make sure you are keeping up with your fantastic reading – it is the most important thing!

In Phonics we will practise our sounds by saying and writing the sounds – why not use different colours to write them.

In Art today, Mrs Brown was inspired by some feathers she found – can you draw or paint a delicate feather?

Keep in touch with me as always on Tapestry and keep smiling 🙂

Best wishes,

Mrs Brown

A New Half-Term – Monday 1st June

Scott Grason-Taylor

Hello everyone, I hope you are all ok and have had a lovely half-term. Do let me know what you have been up to!

Today is the start of a fresh half-term and we all feel re-charged and ready to launch – like a rocket. (Did anyone see the live launch online on Saturday night? It was very exciting)

Todays suggested learning on Tapestry today is as follows :-

In Maths, we are looking at 2D shape – Let’s go on a shape hunt!

In English, we will start to think about what argument means and how we can look at both sides of a story!

In music, a song we love from Collective Worship – its one of my favourites too!

In Phonics, as there are rockets in the air – let’s play  Rocket Rescue on Phonics Play.

Keep in touch with me on Tapestry as always and don’t forget to join me at 6PM tonight for story!

Keep happy and keep smiling 🙂

Thursday’s Learning Suggestion – Plastic Bottle Bird Feeder

Scott Grason-Taylor
Good Morning everybody,
 
The beautiful sunshine has been smiling at us this week, and after spending lots of time outdoors, I thought you might like to create a bird feeder. This will give you something wonderful to watch, as you look out of your window, or eat your lunch in the garden.
 
This bird feeder is very simple to create, and requires few materials. It also allows us to do some recycling: using any plastic bottles that are around the home. 
 
 
Here is the link to the video, which explains how to make the feeder, and exactly what you need. 
 
I have also included a written document, as you may find this easier to follow. 
 
 
Send us pictures of your bird feeders, and see if you can capture any birds in action. 
 
Have a wonderful day,
 
See you at story time ?

Who’s Poo? A Suggestion for Learning. Monday 25th of May

Scott Grason-Taylor

The weather is looking fine and many of you will be out in the garden. You may be able to see signs of wildlife where you live. One clue that something is living nearby is that itt might leave poo.All animals need food and water. All animals move and breathe. All animals excrete. That’s a cool science word for poo and wee.

Take a look at these fantastic links and take a closer look at poo. We can learn so much.

https://www.rspb.org.uk/fun-and-learning/for-families/big-wild-sleepout/whose-poo/

https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife/how-identify/identify-poo

https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/the-lets-go-club-whose-poo-is-this?collection=the-lets-go-club-animal-fun
And a few you will not find in your back garden.

If you are interested then think about the language used to group and classify animals.
Can you find out what each of these words mean?
Omnivore
Herbivore
Carnivore
On the Plop Trump cards there is are symbols in the top corner( a leaf and a steak)
What do they mean?

Find out about the diet of an animal that interests you. The Dung Beetle really fascinates me.

Keep your eyes open for any evidence of wildlife when you are out and about.
Look. Don’t touch

Use your phonics to read the Plop Trump cards.
The photos are not to scale-look carefully at measurements. I suggest that you look at a ruler to check just how big the elephant poo is!

Happy Learning
