Good Morning grown ups 😊

Bonjour boys and girls 😊

I hope you are all keeping well and were able to enjoy a little bit of sunshine this weekend.  I am missing your smiley faces on a Monday morning.   I hope you’ve been able to show your grown ups just how great you are at all your jobs and also how good you are at building cars and bridges and also making up puppet shows.

Well done for completing week 1 of the Home Learning, I hope you are all ready for week 2!  I hope you enjoy looking out some bears on your walks.  Have you spotted any yet? 🐻

This is a lovely story which may help your child to understand a little more about what is going on just now.  It is written by a nurse and uses simple language and colourful pictures.

There are a lot of great resources available for free online at the moment. I’ve collated them in the ‘Home Learning’ tab above and I’ll keep this updated over the coming weeks. In addition, the link below will take you to some of the daily live events with associated links.

‘Chester Zoo’ has also been live streaming their animals.   If you wish to take a look search for them on Facebook and log in.

Below are the suggested learning activities for this week. Remember they are suggestions so only do what you are able to.

Literacy Activities

• Try to read a story every day this week. This can be a book at home or you can follow the link below to Storyline Online and choose a story from there. Use the prompt cards in the reading booklet issued to discuss the book with your child and support their comprehension of the text. These are also available in the reading tab above. I’ve also added a Reading Bingo activity to the reading tab that you could try to complete over the next few weeks.
