Friday 26 February 2021 Home Learning Week 7 Well done Squirrels on another super week of home learning. Only one week to go now before we are back together in school. This week you have impressed me with your sentence writing and counting on skills. You all remembered to use a capital letter and full stop in your descriptive sentences and I loved reading your versions of how Claire hurt her leg.

Tuesday 16 February 2021 Home Learning Week 6 Well done Squirrels for being so amazing this half term. Learning via Zoom is not easy for anyone, but it is even more difficult when you are only 4 and 5 years old. You should all be really proud at how well you have adapted to home learning. Please say a huge thank you to all of your parents for supporting you so well. Each and every one of you has made progress this half term and I have been blown away by your reading. Fingers crossed we will all be back together in a few weeks but until then have a lovely relaxing half term break and I will see you all on Zoom on Monday 22nd!

Friday 5 February 2021 Home Learning Week 5 Well done on another fantastic week of home learning! This week we have done lots of different activities based around the book Handa's Surprise. We have found Africa on a map, printed with fruit, found one less than a given number, made animal masks, watched Go Jetters, made story maps and written sentences to retell the story. To end the week we had a quiz and Show and Tell session.

Friday 29 January 2021 Home Learning Week 4 Another fantastic week of home learning from everyone. We have been doing work based around the book ‘Whatever Next!’ We have written questions and lists, made rockets, carried out an experiment to find the best material to make an umbrella from, made blow rockets and found out about the first moon landing! In maths we have made clocks, learned to tell the time to o’clock and have measured different objects using non standard units. On Friday we had a quiz to check our understanding and we all impressed Mrs Newbery with our answers. Take a look at some of the super work we have all done.

Friday 22 January 2021 Home Learning Week 3 Congratulations on another fantastic week Squirrels. You have completed some super work based on the story of Stanley's Stick. I have been particularly impressed with your maths work. It was lovely to see Matilda using what she had learned about symmetry last week in her stick picture and to see Oliver learning about tallying. Well done Catelyn for making all of the numbers to 10 out of sticks and Emily for using her sound cards to make words to splat. Theo, I loved the sword you made out of a stick and Oscar, Sienna and Hattie your stick measuring was super. Peaches and Layla-Grace your parrot and witch sticks were great and Alba, Teddy and Ella well done for working so hard at school. Willow, I have been impressed with how hard you have tried with your phonics this week - well done. Charlie, your starring role in Tilly's video was worthy of an Oscar!

Friday 15 January 2021 Home Learning Week 2 Well done Squirrels on another fantastic week of home schooling. You have continued to amaze me with how well you are coping with remote learning. We have managed to learn 3 new sounds this week and everyone has made progress with their numbers. I was so impressed with how well all of you coped with the symmetry work. I enjoyed hearing you read and wanted to say how proud I am of all of you. Well done to those children who completed the activities. I have loved looking at all of the photographs of you having fun at home.
