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
In one of your jotters, draw a picture of yourself and your family and add speech bubbles to say how you are feeling today when there’s no school. Are you sad? Are you excited? Are you bored and not sure what to do? What do your parents think? Are they worried about how long the school will be closed for?

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:
