The Sun Has Got His Hat On – Friday 15th May

Good morning everyone, 

I hope you are all well. The sun has got his hat on today and it’s Friday! Hurray!

today’s suggested activities on Tapestry today are;-

In Maths, we are testing our fractions skills. Can we work out a half of a number and a quarter of a number? Plates to the ready!

In English, you did so well with your acrostic colour poems, lets have some fun today and write one using our names – see Mrs Brown’s as an example!

In Art today, we will create our very own colour/feelings board. We can keep it safe and talk to our family about how we feel using colour. I really enjoyed making mine!

I have declared today Read-a-Book Friday. So grab a book (or go on Oxford Owl) sit in the sun and enjoy reading your book! 

Keep sending me you messages and videos of what you are doing!

Have a lovely weekend and hopefully the sun will keep shining!

Keep smiling and maybe hug each other today too!

Best wishes,

Mrs Brown

Good morning everyone,

I hope you are al ok today!

Today’s suggested learning – details on tapestry – is as follows:-

In English, we are collecting some colour information, in order to write our Acrostic Colour Poems tomorrow! I think you will enjoy this task today!

In Phonics, we will carry on with split diagraphs and focus on the i-e sound – there’s a fun sound spotting activity to do!

Last week in Geography, we researched continents and found out all about them. Today, we will investigate oceans – see if you can answer Mrs Brown’s questions about oceans today!

I think the weather is set to improve soon and the warm sun will return! 

In the meantime, keep busy and keep being kind to each other and keep smiling 🙂

I am missing you all,
