Hi all,
We will be having an extra special dance session with Mrs Hilditch tomorrow afternoon, so please can everyone come into school wearing their PE kits for the day.
Thank you!

Hello everyone,
Here is what we did at school today.
Morning activity
This morning we didn’t have any maths, instead we spent the starting to make posters about the butterfly life cycle.
To start off with, we wrote our title and then stuck pictures in the right order like this:
Then, we wrote our first sentence on our poster about the eggs. Ours looked a bit like this.
And that’s all you need to do so far, we will be finishing off our posters later in the week.
Letters and Sounds
Today we looked at ccvc words again. Can you put each of these words into a phoneme frame?
spot
skip
trip
from
plan
Here is an example below.
Forest School
This afternoon we had Forest School and we went out to make dens! Maybe make a den in your house or garden out of different things you can find.
Have a lovely day!

Tuesday 29th June
For everyone having to self-isolate, here is what we got up to in school today.
Maths
First we had a go at counting in 2s and 5s and counting up to 20 forwards and backwards. Then we continued our work with subtraction and completed the subtraction sheets below, crossing off the correct amount of minibeasts.
Please select the level to suit you.
Letters and Sounds
Today we had a go at capital letters. Can you have a go at writing the capital and lowercase letters for the whole alphabet?
There is a capital letter sheet below to help you.
Activity
Today we learnt about the life cycle of a frog. Do you remember the frogspawn that we borrowed from Mrs Pope’s class a little while ago? Here is a reminder of each stage of the life cycle of a frog.
Have a look at the pictures below and put them in the right order for the frog life cycle – or you could just draw your own!
Afternoon activities
This afternoon we had a story, and then we spent the afternoon playing – so I suggest you do the same!
Have a good day everyone.

Hello everyone!
I hope you all managed to have some fun whilst you were stuck at home over the weekend. Only one day of home learning and then we will all be back at school tomorrow. Here is what we are doing today…
Maths
This week we are learning about taking away. Sometimes we call this taking away and sometimes we call it subtraction – it’s up to you what you choose to call it because you will hear both ways as you go through school.
To start off with, can you have a go at counting in 5s up to 50 and counting in 2s up to 20 like we do each morning?
Today I would like you to have a go at working out the number sentences below. Please use something that you can move around like counters, such as Lego, beads, pasta etc.
To start off with, look at the first number and get that many counters. Then look at the second number and take that many counters away. How many are you left with? That’s your answer! You can print off the sheet and write the answers down, or just work practically by reading the number sentences off the screen. Up to you!
Letters and Sounds
First, can you have a look at your sound mat and see if you can say all of your Phase 2 and 3 sounds and tricky words just by looking at them?
Today we are going to look at ccvc words. Can you read the word below?
pot
Can you write this word down, but turn it into the word ‘spot’? What do you need to add to turn it into this word? Where do you need to add it?
Then, have a go at changing the rest of the words below.
Write ‘top’ – change to ‘stop’
Write ‘kip’ – change to ‘skip’
Write ‘rip’ – change to ‘trip’
Write ‘rom’ – change to ‘from’
Write ‘lan’ – change to ‘plan’.
Literacy
We have got some animals in our class that are busy going through a few changes, can I remember what they are? They’re caterpillars! Today we are going to learn all about their life cycle.
Watch the video below to help you understand a little bit more about each of the stages.
Then, I would like you to use the sheet below to order the stages of the butterfly life cycle. You can use the sheet to cut and stick the pictures, or just draw your own version of the butterfly life cycle.
Once you have done this, please can you label each stage of the life cycle using the words egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly. Remember to use your word builder and sound mat to help you sound out each word.
Story time!
Activity
I thought you might like to have a go at some butterfly crafts today. There are a few pictures below with some ideas on, you could pick one of these or come up with your own idea. Totally up to you!
I hope you all have a lovely day. Just so you are all aware, I won’t be in the classroom tomorrow, but I will be in school throughout the day. So don’t worry when I’m not there in the morning!

Things To Ask Me
Hi everyone,
With the rush for going home today I completely forgot to hand out the ”Things To Ask Me’ sheet. I’ve attached it for you below.
Tapestry
Just to say, apologies that there hasn’t been much going onto Tapestry this week. My iPad has decided to reset itself and I can’t get onto it at the moment. Fingers crossed that it’s resolved soon and I can get back to letting you know all about what your little lovelies are up to.
RSE Curriculum
Dear parents,
As part of the statutory National Curriculum, your child/children will be taught all aspects of the new Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) Curriculum. This includes developing healthy relationships, staying safe, knowing how to look after their mental health and wellbeing, understanding the natural changes to bodies and naming of body parts. We believe that this biological approach needs to be balanced with an emphasis on relationships, feelings, and values. We are particularly concerned to ensure our children know how to keep themselves safe and healthy and develop confidence and self-esteem to ensure they are not vulnerable or exploited in any way.
This year we are using new materials as part of our personal and social health education curriculum. We are delivering Shropshire Respect Yourself: Sex Education programme. This programme has been nationally recognised, is informed by good practice guidance and has received the quality Kitemark from the Personal, Social Health Education Association (PSHE), It includes the transition programme for Year 6, which ensures continuity and age-appropriate progression with the Shropshire secondary programme.
As part of our planning for the delivery of this programme we have ensured that there is consistency with our school’s ethos and related policies, such as safeguarding, equalities and bullying.
The programme will be delivered by classroom teachers. There will be opportunities for children to work in mixed and single gender groups and exercises will be adapted to take into account different levels of maturity and ability. We encourage pupils to ask questions, seek further information and complete activities at home. We see this work as a partnership between school and home.
Please feel free to contact your class teacher or myself if you have any questions about the content we will be covering. Depending on the amount of queries we get, we may also be able to offer an information sharing session for parents if we feel this is necessary.
The topics we will be covering in each year as well as the vocabulary we will be learning is outlined in the document below.
Many thanks,
Miss Roberts
Wet socks!
Apologies for all the wet socks and tights coming home with the children today. Once the (very heavy!) rain had eased a little bit after lunchtime, we took the opportunity to do some puddle jumping. We did put on wellies and waterproofs, but even so – every single child managed to get their socks or tights completely sodden!
On the plus side – the children were very happy splashing through the deep puddles that had formed throughout lunchtime!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for all your yogurt pot donations, we now have plenty for our activity next week!
Also, on Thursday it is dress as a pirate day, however, I know that Room 4 have PE in the afternoon. So please either send your child in wearing some trainers / joggers with their pirate outfit, or send their PE kit in for them to change into for the afternoon. We haven’t had to get changed for PE yet this year, so that will be a big test for them (and us!). But either way, please make sure that they have trainers and a suitable outfit for moving around in – we don’t mind a few pirates doing PE!
Help please!
Hello,
The week after next we will be doing a craft activity which involves empty yogurt pots. If you eat yogurts at home, please would you send your empty (and clean!) yogurt pots our way? We will need 1-2 pots per child. Just the little snap pots or something similar will be perfect for our activity.
Thank you in advance!
Miss Roberts
