We understand that routine is very important at this time. Each school day we will be providing a Literacy, Numeracy and ‘Other’ activity to be completed.

We have put together some resources that we hope will help with your daily learning. If your child has been absent from school we will make these available for collection. We will let you know where the collection point is in due course.

We would also ask that you continue to undertake these activities each day:

Practice lower and uppercase letter formation (using laminated sheet provided as guidance)
Practice 0 – 20 number formation (using laminated sheet provided as guidance)
Practice writing full name (using laminated sheet provided as guidance)
Discuss the date and day of the week. What date/day was it yesterday? What will date/day will it be tomorrow?
What is the weather like today?

On our daily task sheet we may provide options in the form of a ‘Chilli Challenge’. The ‘Chillies’ act as a measure of challenge in which there are three levels. Therefore, we do not expect that your child will complete all ‘Chilli Challenge’ activities.

As well as academic learning we appreciate the importance of daily physical activity. Each day we have suggested your child may like to participate in Joe Wicks live PE lessons. These will be streamed live on Joe Wicks’ YouTube account every morning at 9am.

Thank you for your co-operation,

Miss Kidson and Miss Cowper

Science Super Skills

This week we have been exploring ‘what makes things move?’

We have been investigating the forces ‘push’ and ‘pull’.

We have been making car ramps and measuring how far the car travel using cubes. The higher the ramp the further the car travelled.

We have been using magnetic force to move objects.

We created a Venn diagram to help us sort objects into ‘push’ and ‘pull’ groups. We decided that some objects are ‘both’, like our interlocking cubes, sticky tape and whiteboard eraser!
