I have received another lovely update from Charlie's mummy, sharing his learning from this week. Look at that beautiful painting- and I love to see you all helping out mums and dads with the chores! :) 

'Charlie has had lots of fun this week with his English challenge, he particularly liked the naughty pixie....I wonder why???  He learnt about the Ocean and the animals and plants that live there and write what he thought it would be like to be a glo-fish.  He wrote to his best friend Rueben and painted him a picture of Steve from Minecraft using paint sticks and posted it to him.

He’s also had fun baking, dressing up and washing the cars with his brothers which we all got extremely wet!!'

Isabelle has been very busy doing lots of fun learning tasks at home. Here is a lovely message from her mummy telling me all about it!

We've done far too much baking and been on quite a few bike rides, one past Grandmas to deliver a letter Izzy wrote her. 

Izzy and Daddy made homemade chicken pizza for everyone's dinner and a lemon cake for pudding, they were very tasty.

We've been on a micro habitat mini beast hunt and found Riley is scared of spiders just like Daddy! Izzy caught 2 wood louse in her bug catcher, these were her favourite mini beasts that she found. So she has painted a picture of one. 

For one of her English tasks she went back a little further in the pictures to choose the guitar picture as shes learning to play one. She is still having lessons online and has been learning incy wincy spider and over the rainbow. She asked me to send you a video of her playing too.    

Izzy and I have both create artwork in the style of her favourite artist and she's said "I bet Miss Watling can't guess who it is?!" And she's written a little about why she likes them.

Can you guess who the artist is that has inspired Isabelle's work?

Super job Isabelle!

🌟Mrs Burton's Ongoing Project - Who is your hero?🌟

When I was in primary school I did a project all about my hero. It took me weeks! I learned lots of facts, made a booklet, drew and cut out pictures, and I can still remember facts about Gary Winston Lineker now! So it's your turn, choose someone who you admire, learn all about them, then show what you know in whatever way you want e.g scrapbook, PowerPoint, poster. This should be a project you work on over the next few weeks rather than complete in 1 session.

Freya has had an exciting week! First Lydia Monks tweeted in response to Freya's super picture of Sugarlump and the Unicorn; then Freya sent a letter to Julia Donaldson as part of her hero project and received a reply along with some stickers. Look at that happy, proud face! I just love to see a love of books from such a young age, and what a beautiful long letter too! Well done, Freya!

Julia said:

Dear Freya,

I hope you have a lovely birthday on May 16th. I've asked the publisher to send you my Q and A sheet, which gives information which might be useful for your project. I'm glad you like Sugarlump and the Unicorn. I got the idea when I visited a toy museum where there was a rocking horse.

With love

Julia Donaldson

We'll be able to stick all this information in Freya's scrap book!

What a lovely email to receive from Mrs Burton today. Lewis worked really hard and had great ideas in his work on the magic box this morning at school! Super work Lewis!

Writing Task- Year 1

Writing Task- Year 2

Here is a reminder of the link for your two week writing task. I hope you are enjoying this challenge. Remember to take time to check that each activity is done to the best of your ability before moving on to the next one. There is absolutely no rush!

Reading Comprehension There are 3 levels of comprehension, challenge yourself!

Spellings: 

The 'or' sound spelt ‘a’ before ‘l’ and ‘ll’

Use the following words: call, tall, ball, walk, talk, always

See if your child can think of some words for each of these spellings and write them down.

Tell your child to look at the tricky ones where they can’t hear the ‘l’. What can they do to help them remember these?

Use some of the strategies worked on in class to help you: pyramid words, drawing an image around the word, drawing boxes around each letter to show the shape, look say cover write check etc. Try rainbow writing: write each letter in a different colour or write the whole word in one colour and overlay this in further colours.
