Ash Class Inspire, nurture and challenge 

We have had a very happy week back as a whole class, and I have been so pleased by how. Well the children have settled back into the routines. They have managed to survive on only one snack a day and have coped well with the learning and it has been a joy to have the classroom full again.

In English we have looked at blends gl/fl/cl and we are reading The Disgusting Sandwich. In maths we have been measuring using non standard measures.  New spellings have now been added to spelling shed.

Below are a few collages, showing our cooking activity on Thursday, making bread and food tasting for sandwiches, and our Activity time which they children enjoyed in the sunshine at the beginning of the week.

Hi!

I am so sorry my Zoom did not work yesterday, we had real problems with the Internet and it just would not let me go on!

It’s the last day of homeschool! I don’t know how you will feel about that. You might feel a bit scared or nervous about coming back to school, and you might feel a bit sad about leaving your home school teachers. They might also be feeling the same. Try and enjoy your last day of homeschool and perhaps talk about these questions together;

What has been the best thing you have done in homeschool?
What has been the most interesting you’ve learned?
What has been your grownups favourite bit of homeschool?

If you like, have a look at this website and make yourself a superstar certificate. I am very proud of all that you have achieved – and all the teeth you have lost! Golden Generation

Check out your final maths challenge in the previous post.

Phonics – please have a go at your Spelling Shed words which all revisit Phase 3.

Art task – I’d like you to paint a picture of your time in homeschool, like a time capsule. You probably won’t want to keep all the work you’ve done, and you might not even really remember this time when you are as old as me, but if you have this painting it can be one thing you can hang onto and keep to remember this time. Try and draw the room that you have done most of your learning in. Draw who has helped you, draw the things you have used – you could even include some thought bubbles to show what you have learned. When you have completed it, roll it up carefully and put it somewhere safe. Remember to put the date on it!

Finally, your final continent to visit with the Oak Academy. Can you remember which ones have gone before, and one feature of each? For example, Europe is a continent, Italy is in Europe, and I might find the colosseum in Italy!

Have a lovely weekend, I cannot wait to see you on Monday, ready for learning!
Love

Happy World Book Day!

Today is ‘World Book Day’ and it looks a little different to normal. However, your book tokens are waiting at school for you to collect on Monday and can be redeemed at the supermarket or Petworth Bookshop. We are not dressing up today, however, we are taking part in a world book day challenge, set by MRC.

We are going to make models of monsters! Your model could be made of junk (look in the recycling bin) paper (think about what you know about paper engineering, folding and cutting paper and card) or any modelling material such as clay or play doh. If you want to make your own play doh it’s half a cup of water, half a cup of salt and a whole cup of flour, mix it together and colour it with food colour if you like.
Please make your monster as exciting and interesting as you can and send me a picture of it.

Next – Please share a story with someone. You could read it, they could eat it, or you could read to a toy or teddy. Check out this one, on the world book day website Share a story

There are lots of audiobooks available to listen to on the website, here Audiobooks

There are also some live story sessions which you can tune into. Find them here Live story sessions

Now – Choose an online lesson from a real life author! You can choose whichever you like but I would recommend Tom Fletcher as you are probably all familiar with his books Online Author Academy

Finally, if you feel like a reading superstar, please have a look at the reading game and challenges here Reading challenges

There are also lots of fun activities to choose here Activities

Finally…..have a think about these questions;

• Which has been the best book you have read, and why?
• Did you prefer The Pied Piper, or The Iron Man, as a class reader?
• Which is your favourite traditional tale?
• Can you retell “The Girl, the bear and the magic shoes” from memory?
• What is your parents favourite book?

Have a great day enjoying stories together,

Love

Hello!

Maths – As per previous post.

Phonics- Please continue with the activity set yesterday, revising phase 3 phonics.

Handwriting – Today we are going to practice ‘s’, which has the same formation. Please also remember you should use the upstroke in all your writing. Could you please write down this sentence, which revisits all the letters we have done?

Sara the snake was queen, she liked to dance and sing.

English – Please continue with your information page.

What type of book are we making?
Can you name three features in this type of text?
Where could you find meanings for words you don’t know?

Today I would like you to write about what your monster does in his spare time. Can you remember what the monsters in the original text did? (Bake bread and cupcakes, play games, go for walks) Don’t forget your subheading!

Science today, and you are going to continue to think about the seasons and weather patterns. Revisiting your Science from last half term….

Is Africa a continent?
Which are the coldest continents?
Which is the smallest continent?

Oak Academy

Have a lovely day, make some time for some play today! Have you got the game Uno? We have been playing it a lot lately and it is great for number recognition and thinking quickly. We also love Dobble, which is great for quick picture recognition.

Love

Morning!

Your maths is as per the previous post. If you would like some extra challenges, try the nrich website.

Handwriting – please continue to practise q and o. If you are revisiting last weeks letters, which four are you doing?

Phonics – for the rest of this week I would like you to work through this PowerPoint. It revisits some of the phase 3 phonemes which we looked at last term. When the PowerPoint asks you to look around the classroom, please just look around your home! Phase 3 activities

English – please continue with your information book page. You may revisit the resources I posted yesterday for help. Make sure you have a subheading!
Today I would like to know what your monster eats.
Is it: a carnivore? A herbivore? An omnivore?
If you can’t remember what these words mean, please look them up – how will you find out?

PE – this website shows a variety of activities, some of which will be familiar, but which you should be able to access whatever space you have. Please choose at least one and have a go at home. Stacey will be looking at movement and coordination next week.

PE lessons

Please join me at 2 for our penultimate zoom, which hopefully no technical hitches! We will be looking at shape, playing I spy and doing some spelling.

Love
