We are now in week 2 of home learning and I hope you are all managing to adjust to the big changes. I am thinking of you all and missing your chatter (honestly) and smiling faces! It’s a tricky time and I know you will have found it difficult to get into a routine. I know I have!
Thanks to those who have sent me an email – it is always great to hear from you. Please remember to keep checking your emails regularly and let me know how you are.
This week I have created a timetable of activities for you all. This will also be emailed to you. If you are able to complete the tasks or activities suggested that is great. If however, it is difficult for you to complete the tasks this week for whatever reason then please don’t worry.
I have only uploaded resources for your tasks for Monday. I will add other resources on Tuesday and Wednesday.
I hope you are well. I have been walking Noya each day which has been great and she seems happy to have me at home more. My boys are not so happy as I have given them lots of chores! I have also signed up to do some keep fit and yoga while I’m working from home. Has anyone else been keeping fit? What about cooking or baking? Please send me photos of your creations and let me know if you are happy for me to share on our blog (remember not to include your face or name in the image if you would like to share it here) .
Please login to your glow account and check your emails. I emailed everyone a link for a Room 14 Microsoft Team which will make it easier for you all to keep in touch and access learning resources.
If you would like your Sumdog login let me know and I will email it through to you.
I plan to upload text book pages onto the blog each week and try to post a daily activity suggestion. I will also post a challenge on a Wednesday lunchtime or afternoon. Let me know what time you would prefer. In the meantime, remember to look at the booklet I gave you with your home learning folder which had lots of ideas for learning activities across the curriculum.
Lots of love and best wishes to you all and your families

Apologies for the delay in posting homework for 10 December. As its such a busy time of year for everyone there are only two tasks this week.
This year our Christmas Advent Calendar is about giving and spreading kindness. You all have a date between 1 and 24 that you choose in class. On your chosen day you have been asked to bring an item for our local food bank box. You will also have a random act of kindness that you should try to do on that day or the next. Parents will be delighted to know that most of these acts of kindness will be at home e.g. help make dinner, wash dishes or tidy your bedroom.
Your first task for homework is as we discussed connected to our Advent Calendar. Please find out who food banks help and find some ideas for goods that you can donate.
2. Your second task is to make a small Christmas decoration for our class tree. We have gone over this in class and discussed ideas. Remember you can ask me for materials such as cardboard, coloured paper and ribbon.
You are all working so hard in school and your effort for the Christmas show has been amazing. So proud of you all, as always.
Following discussions in class about homework, this will now be posted on the classroom blog on a Tuesday. It should be returned by the following Monday.
Write out your words 3 times using different strategies (waterfall, lower and upper case, backwards, alphabetical order diacritical marking, elkonin boxes).
Write a rap using at least 8 of your words. Remember to underline them.
Green
Create a list of 10 words using the o-e phoneme – as in sore.
Write all 14 words ( the other 4 words on the list are home, more, school & Mrs) using rainbow writing and waterfall writing.
Choose 4 words and write a sentence for each.
Maths
Choose 4 activities from this weeks Studyladder set tasks. These will relate to your learning in class. Let me know ASAP if you can’t see the new set tasks.
WW2 Topic Research
Find out if anyone in your family has stories about WW2. Has a family member lived through it ? Were they an evacuee, a soldier or one of the women working in the munition factories ? Ask them to share their story with you and for permission to share it with the class.
I’m looking forward to another great week with you all.
PS. Remember that we are going to Stonelaw High School on Tuesday morning for the start of the STEM activity so don’t forget to bring a waterproof jacket and a snack.
