Good morning everyone, hope you all got a good sleep last night. I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s weekend news post and seeing what you’d all been up to over the weekend.
Day 7 of no school so see below for a ‘could do’ list for today. We want you and your families to look after each other and think about staying safe first so don’t worry if you can’t do all of this today!
9am
Gym lesson online with Joe Wicks LIVE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ
9:30-10:00: Literacy
Jolly Phonics- Practise your jolly phonics sounds with the video and do the actions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzBoqtayewI
Using one of your jotters, practise writing the letters. You can draw the picture from the song too!
Can you write any words?
Remember to ask an adult to dot your sounds to help with the letter formation!
10:30-11:15: Break Time
It’s important that you have breaks and fresh air if you can. Social distancing means you can’t go and play with other people that you don’t live with but you can go outside with your family for a walk, a run in the park or a cycle ride. Don’t stay inside all day.
Have a healthy snack – a piece of fruit or some raisins?
11:15-12:15: Maths
The best way for you to keep practising the right maths for you is through SumDog: https://www.sumdog.com/user/sign_in?to=%2Femails

During a time like this it’s important we share what’s on our mind with our friends and families. This is so we can tell people how we’re feeling so they can help look after us.
Have a think about how you are feeling, is there anything that is making you feel sad or worried? Use the worksheet below as a prompt to help your conversations at home with your families. You could write words or draw pictures to show how you feel.

Mum’s and Dad’s this is quite an abstract concept… make it easier by saying ‘you are happy when…. And you are sad when….’ Allowing your child to finish the sentence. This will allow your child to become more familiar with talking about their feelings.
2-2:30pm: Break Time
Go outside again if you can or have another disco…or you could do another Cosmickids yoga session in your living room? Keep your body moving!
2:30-3pm: Story and chat
At the end of each day, we will send you stories to listen to/read. Some of these will be read by your lovely St. Albert’s teachers, others might be by famous authors. To get ready for the story:
- Get a snack and a drink
- Get somewhere comfy – on cushions/sofa/bed, under a blanket
- Get one of your parents or a brother/sister to listen with you
Here are today’s stories:
