Collins Big Cat Reading

Collins Big Cat Reading

We are delighted that we now have access to Collins Big Cat Reading scheme.

Reading is so important to your child’s development. We would encourage everyone to try read a little every day, especially if you are finding it a challenge to get your child to complete work at home.

This is a whole school reading programme that provides support for primary reading.

Our pupils will be able to access hundreds of high quality fiction and non- fiction banded books by award- winning authors and illustrators.

There are also activities at the end of each book and resources for you to try if you wish.

Each book is read aloud but if your child would prefer to read by themselves click on the pause button.

Your child’s teacher will advise a colour of level for your child to start reading.

Please adapt this if necessary to suit your own child’s reading ability.

P4S work gird 6.5.20

Morning everyone, hope you had a good weekend.  Today’s grid is slightly different from our usual one to take it more in line with most of the other classes in the school.  Also as it is a shorter week there are less learning activities.  This week I will be doing a live video chat at 10 o’clock on Thursday.  Set your alarms to remind you.  Just give my morning message a thumbs up so I know to invite you to chat.  Looking forward to hearing what you have been up to.

The Great Science Share – Week 1

Good Morning everyone!

This term we are going to take part in The Great Science Share for Schools which will hopefully inspire you to think about and talk about science. Each week there will be a new theme to focus on with investigations for you to get involved in, as well as a ‘Question Maker’ to help you think of creative ways to ask great questions. You can print this off or just create your own!

You can then share your scientific questions and investigations with me either through your class Teams page, or by emailing your completed investigation into school. You can create a poster, write about it, draw it, take photos, or anything else you want to do to share your findings.

The theme this week is ‘International Dawn Chorus Day’ where you are encouraged to get up early and listen to the birds singing in the morning. I’ve certainly heard and spotted many more birds around than normal! I also managed to make a homemade bird feeder out of a recycled plastic bottle which you could also try (although my one was quickly destroyed by a squirrel).

You can think about what time of day do you see the most birds? What types of birds can you see near you? Can you identify any the birds you see or hear? Can you see and hear different birds on a walk than you do at home?

Below is a link to the Great Science Share page which gives you some ideas for your investigation (You also get a sneak peek at the themes for the coming weeks ahead – ssshhh)

Have fun bird spotters!
