Hello everyone,

We hope you had a lovely weekend and are ready for a week of exciting activities.

Phonics

Today’s sounds is ew chew the stew. We will be logging onto google classroom at 10am to deliver a phonics session for the class. The materials below will help you if you are unable to join the classroom meeting.

 

The video below will further support the children’s learning.

Challenge the children to spell the ew words using Fred fingers to help them. They could then try to use the words in sentences. Remember the children can log on to fast phonics on reading eggs to further support their reading of these sounds.

In English we’d like you to look at pages 10 and 11 which has activities about using adverbs.

Maths

Maths today is adding and subtracting ones on pages 10 and 11 of the activity booklet.

Science

At school we have been learning about the basic needs of animals. Today we’d like children to design a pet home, thinking about what the pet needs to be healthy and happy. Use the internet to research your pet to help you design the perfect pet home!

Seasonal Change in Science

2nd October 2020Emma Adams

In Science, Year 1 have been working on seasonal change. On Tuesday, we learnt about hedgehogs and how they prepare to hibernate in the winter time. We know that they are loved by gardeners because they eat lots of pests. We enjoyed a first visit in our school allotment and had fun looking out for slugs!

 

Ladybird life cycle

17th June 2020S Robson

In our allotment we noticed that there seemed to be a lot of strange looking ladybirds on our raised beds! After a bit of research, we discovered that many of them were in fact stages in the life cycle of a ladybird. We didn’t see any eggs, but we spotted lots of larva, pupa, and adult ladybirds. We had a little ladybird spotters guide and found that the most common ladybird in our allotment is the adult 7- spot ladybird, its larva and pupa. Apparently there are 46 different species of ladybird in the UK. We learnt quite a bit about them. They are great for our allotment ecosystem.

The Nature Around Us

19th May 2020H Langley

Our daily challenge was to photograph the nature around us. This could be in the garden or out on a walk. It is fantastic to see the varied photos and proof that the nature surrounding us is beautiful!

Blue Peter Eco Badge

18th May 2020H Langley

During Science week, Year 3 completed a comic strip with a message relating to saving our environment. Our children chose to focus on either; littering, chopping trees or recycling. As their comics were so brilliant, we decided to post them to Blue Peter. Over the past few days, lots of children have been emailing us with fantastic news that they have received an Eco (green) Badge. We are so proud of their achievements, Well done Year 3!
