Good Morning Pupils and Parents!

Day 1 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!

If you are learning at home, take videos and pictures of what you’ve done and post them on the blog or on Twitter for us all to see – believe it or not, the teachers are missing you!

9am

Gym lesson online with Joe Wicks LIVE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ

9:30-10:30: Literacy

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?

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

Your log in is in your home learning pack. Please spend today getting online on SumDog and looking at all the lessons you can do there.

12:15-1pm: Lunch 

Have a healthy lunch and go outside again if you can! If not, maybe put on some music and have a lunchtime disco in the house to get your body moving again!

1-2pm: Expressive Art

Choose one (or more) of the following to have a go at – you can look at the videos or use Google Images to help you find examples to copy.

• Draw as many different shapes as you can think of and colour them all in different colours – you could label them? ‘A yellow circle, a green triangle…’
• Mix some flour and water with a few drops of food colouring to make paint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4ws_5USjFg – use your fingers to make a picture

2-2:30pm: Break Time

Go outside again if you can or have another disco…or you could do another Joe Wicks workout for kids? Stay Active!!

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:
