Week beginning 30.03.2020

Good morning,

We hope you are all well and are enjoying the sunshine!

Have any of you made a rainbow for your window? These are Mrs Steele’s – made by Olly and Arlo.

If you have made one, we’d love to see a picture! You can send photos to gw18burnsidephotos@glow.sch.uk and we can then share them on the blog. Please put in the subject area ‘room 7 rainbow photo’.

This week you can continue with the work set to you in your home learning folder as well as with online games and activities. A good structure for each day might look like this;

  • 1 numeracy task (i.e. a worksheet, website game)
  • 1 literacy task (i.e. diary, book review, spelling game)
  • Personal reading (roughly 15-20 minutes)
  • Exercise/fresh air (i.e online exercises, playing in the garden)
  • 1 other activity (i.e art, ICT, music)

Please remember this is only a suggestion and we understand if you can’t manage it all.

See image below for lots of really good ideas of some online activities to do that spreads across the curriculum.

As it’s nearly Easter time, you might also want to try some Easter activities! Below is a list of ideas.

-decorating a hard boiled egg

-decorating an Easter bonnet

-make an Easter card

-Easter egg nest crispy cakes

-create an Easter egg treasure hunt. Write out some clues that would lead someone to find eggs in your garden or at home. You could save this one for Easter Sunday!

Please take some photos of any Easter activities and send them to the email address above – we’d love to see what you’ve been up to!

We miss you all lots, please let us know if you need anything.

Take care,

Mrs Steele & Mrs Rhicard

Remember also you can watch Newsround on the CBBC website.

Steven Brown the Scottish Artist has also provided a free colouring in sheet for his giraffes. He liked that children were drawing rainbows and putting them in their windows to spread joy and thought people could spread even more colour with his pictures.
