Good morning.

Today for Maths and Numeracy you can continue to work through the sumdog and Heinemann Active Math games allocated on both sites. Also you can make up word problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, all centered around the snow.

In Literacy, as it is World Book Day, read your favourite book. Also design a front book cover and back blurb cover for a book about Ancient Egypt. It can be a factual book or fiction. Remember the features to include on the cover: tile, author and picture. Also, on the back there has to be a brief summary of what the book is about. Continue to work on your spelling words, doing the spelling activities we do in class.

If you can get out of your door today, I have another snow challenge which I hope you will take up. Your challenge is to make a 3D snow structure of the sphinx and if possible send the pictures to me the same way as some of you did yesterday. They were really impressive!!

Enjoy the snow day. Keep safe and warm!!!!

On Wednesday Jai in the nursery’s dad, who is a pilot, came into tell us all about his job. It was fascinating and we all learned things we did not know. Even the teachers!!! We asked lots of questions but most of them were about crashing!!!!!!

On Tuesday the 7th of February the Rights Respecting Committee had an assembly to make the school aware about internet safety as it was Safer Internet Day across the country. They gave advise and tips on how to stay safe on the internet and had a question wall and photo booth in the hall to further promote internet safety.

The photos below are a record of this.

Wednesday the 24th May is Unicef day for change and the Rights Respecting Committee are hoping to raise money for children in danger. We will be collecting as much loose change as we can from today so if you have any lying around your houses, down the sides of your sofas we would appreciate all coins you can spare. We want to inspire our classmates to help other children around the world who are not as fortunate as we are. We are having an assembly on Wednesday morning which you are welcome to attend. The pupils can pay a £1 for dress down or in blue and there are a few other activities which we hope will help us reach our target of £150 which could provide 6 malnourished children with a month’s supply of life- saving emergency food.

Thank you in advance and any coins you can spare will be greatly appreciated.
