Today has been all about saying thank you. You should have all received a little something from the children tonight as a way of thanks for everything you have done for them. We have been saying thank you to our school community, to our parents and to our friends.

Reception Learning from Home Tuesday 14th July
Good morning children. It’s Terrific Tuesday again - try to do some terrific work today. Can you be a Bobby Bee?
Today’s Learning Activities:
English - Traditional Tales
Read and enjoy the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears: or you may have your own version to share together.
Then have a go at answering the questions
What happened when Goldilocks ate Baby Bear’s porridge? How do you think she felt when she broke Baby Bear’s chair? What happened when she fell asleep in Baby Bear’s bed? How do you think the three bears felt when they saw everything that Goldilocks had done? How might Goldilocks have felt when she got home and thought about her behaviour?
Can you write a letter from Goldilocks to the three bears to say sorry? What will she write? Remember to use your phonics to help with your sounding out and spelling.
White Rose Maths
Lesson 2 w/b 29th June
Today we are going to look at the story of Oliver’s Fruit Salad. Can you play the game - I went to the market and bought …? (I love playing this game - whenever I play it I always like to create pictures in my head and I find that it helps me to remember. Maybe it will help you too!) Then can you look at the pictures and ask and answer some questions? Have fun!
Postcard
You have been in Reception since last September and you have grown so much and learned such a lot. Think about what it was like to start at school. Were you excited or were you a little bit worried and scared? When the new Reception children come into school in September some of them might be a bit worried and not know what to do.
Can you use Purple Mash and write them a postcard to tell them how wonderful it is in Reception and to tell them not to worry?
PE
Remember it’s really important to keep active. Think about what you can do today to keep active. Maybe you want to have a go at something you are good at because you enjoy doing it. Or maybe you know there is something that you would like to get better at and need a bit of practise with. Maybe you would like to have a go at more than one thing! You choose!
I hope that you have a super day.
Don’t forget to send me some photos of what you have been doing.

‘Every child is a different kind of flower, altogether they make this world a beautiful garden.’
Reading
Can you finish the book you are currently reading? Could you count how many pages you have left and set yourself a set number of pages each day to get to the end of it. A big well done to Esme and India who have met their targets.
RE
Let’s get on with our next RE lesson.
Science
This week we go back to a little bit of Science and investigative skills. What do you wonder about? There are so many things I wonder about as I experience the world, what about you? I want you to pick something you wonder about and investigate and experiment until you find some sort of answer. It might be that you make something or write a song to teach others about it. Look below for some inspiration in the form of a song, a video clip of questions and a photo of Steph’s wonderings a couple of weeks ago when she wondered about how clouds were formed on a wet weekend.
Secret thank you task
I would like you to open Purple Mash and access the 2do called ‘Thank you’, please draw pictures of our lovely ladies who have worked with you in Year 3. Please read the information with the 2do as I don’t want to say too much now! Shhhhhh!
Year 2 Home Learning - Tuesday 14th July
Good morning Year 2. How are you all today?
Last week whilst working with some of the Year 1s, I discovered that many of them had worries about Year 2 and felt a little nervous about moving into a different class with new teachers.
Therefore, today I would like you to write a postcard to Year 1. In your postcard I would like you to tell the Year 1s what they can expect when they come into Year 2. Do they need to be worried? What will they be learning about in Year 2? Include your favourite memories from your time in Year 2. What made you smile? What advice would you give them? If you could go back, is there anything that you would change? Have you grown to be more of our learning characters this year?
Use the template below if you wish. I have also created a 2DO for you on Purple Mash if you would prefer to write it on there.
Here are some photographs to inspire you!

Today you are going to do a bit of Year 4 writing revision and then you are going to create a magical item! My video went a bit wrong!

Celebrating Year 4
Today I have set you a purple mash task to write a postcard to a new year 4 pupil. Your aim is to make them feel excited and hopeful!
Give them lots of advice about what it is like in Year 4 and what you need to be like. You could tell them about some things we learn about. I can then display them on our shared school board for them to read.!

Final Week of ART Home Learning
13-17th July 2020
I can’t believe we are at the end of our school year already. The last sixteen weeks have been very strange for all of us, but as a true school community, we have pulled together and tried our best. I have enjoyed setting art activities that could be adapted by everyone at home, depending on what we had to hand. I’ve been blown away by the art sent to me and have loved getting to know your families better as emails were exchanged. These are the final art activities of the school year, I hope you’ll enjoy them…

Saying goodbye for now
On Thursday Year 3 will all be saying goodbye for now as we head into our Summer holidays (on Friday there will be home learning challenges, but it will be slightly different - a little like the Health and happiness week where there was whole school family challenges to complete). Therefore we will use Thursday to say our goodbyes and see you soons to each other. Today I would like you to make a short video wishing everyone a good holiday, telling everyone what you are going to get up to and that you will see them soon etc. That will be our way of ending Year 3 as our little community. Please email your videos to me and I will make them into a little movie of everyone, it will feel like a big end of year hug when we watch them on Thursday. If you feel too shy to make a video you may instead want to send a photo holding a piece of paper with the message you want to say - make sure your writing is big and bold enough.

Good Morning Year 2!
Did you all enjoy your transition week and meeting your new teachers? I’m sure you amazed them all with your super focus, determination and enthusiasm!
I am so thrilled to be spending the final week of the year with you all. This week you will be completing some lovely activities whilst reflecting upon your time in Year 2. Let’s really go for it, have one final week of hard work and enjoy our final week as a class team together.
What have you learned this year?
Today I would like you to reflect upon everything you have learned this year. Think carefully about the different subjects and what you learned in each. Create a spider diagram showing all of your new acquired knowledge. If you’ve got a super memory (unlike Miss Woodend!), maybe you would like to create a spider diagram for each subject. Finally, I would like you to think carefully about what has been your favourite subject and why.
Don’t forget to take photographs of your spider diagrams. If you would prefer, you can create yours on Purple Mash and send it over to me when complete.
Here are a few photographs to remind you of the learning you completed in school.

Reception Home Learning Monday 13th July
Good morning Reception . It a marvellous Monday again today. Try to be marvellous in everything that you do!
It’s so lovely to be with you all again for our final week in school. I can hardly believe that you have come to the end of your Reception year and are ready for Year 1 - time seems to have flown by! But then again, I know that you have worked really hard this year and even though things have been very strange for us all, you have been great learners and wanted to keep growing your brains. Well done!
I might not have been looking after your learning for very long but I do know that I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you and watching you learn new things and I also know that Miss Bassett is so proud of you all and how much you have learned.
I hope that you enjoyed last week, getting to know your new teacher Miss Lane. I know that she really enjoyed hearing from you and finding out all about you all. She is so excited to be teaching you all in September.
We have just 4 days of class learning this week and then on Friday we have our final day of the year working together as a whole school to say “good-bye” before we start our summer holidays.
Today’s Learning Activities:
English - Traditional Tales
Watch and enjoy The Gingerbread Man, read by Julie Walters:
Discuss the story with your grown up. Can you answer these questions?
Who baked the gingerbread man? What did the gingerbread man shout each time he escaped from someone? How did the sly old fox trick the gingerbread man?
Can you write a list of all the people and animals that the gingerbread man escaped from? (Remember to sound out each word carefully)
Can you draw pictures of them in the order that they appear in the story?
White Rose Maths
Lesson 1 Week 10 w/c 29th June
This week we are going to look at the story of Oliver’s Vegetables. I know quite a few of you have been busy growing vegetables at home during lockdown and I’ve been looking at all of the photos that you have in, you are looking after them really carefully and will soon be eating lots of delicious things that you have grown. Have a look what Oliver has been up to and see if you can help him with his maths work. Maybe you could use the border that you create in the next activity.
Memories
Have a think about all of the things that you have done during your time in Reception. Talk to your grown up about what you have done. What did you enjoy doing the most?
I would like you to draw a picture and write a sentence or two about your favourite memory of being in Reception Class. (Remember to sound out carefully when you are writing.)
PE
Remember it’s really important to keep active. Think about what you can do today to keep active. Maybe you want to have a go at something you are good at because you enjoy doing it. Or maybe you know there is something that you would like to get better at and need a bit of practise with. Maybe you would like to have a go at more than one thing! You choose!
I hope that you have a lovely day.

Watch the video below to find out your exciting task today. I forgot to say in the video that I would love you to draw the character too!!!
Maths
I thought we could spend our last week thinking about money. Enjoy the video and task below.
Celebrating our Achievements.
I have set a Purple Mash 2do and I would like you to do me a slideshow all about your favourite subject in year 4! I would prefer something we have done in class rather than Art (I know you all adore that!)
Maybe it is a subject you have grown more fond of this year, like English or Maths. Maybe it is Science or History. Perhaps you love geography or computing.
I have written some prompts in the help section (look for the blue question mark) to help you tell me more about why you love it and which parts in particular!
Faith-Filled and Hopeful
During our time at home over the last couple of months, we have all had to put our trust in God and be as full of faith and hope as we possible could be in such different and difficult times. Therefore, the teachers at school decided that the best virtues to focus upon during the last week of home learning would be faith-filled and hopeful.
We are going to end our year by growing closer to Mary our Mother each day. Complete the activity below.
A few more things for Year 6...
I hope the children are excited about tomorrow and coming back to school. Each day I have created a different focus for the children which will then lead their learning for the day. By the end of the week they will have created a lovely keepsake.

Well Year 2, it’s be wonderful getting to know a little bit about you and your families this week. We have really enjoyed this week and now we can’t wait until we are teaching you in September.
We hope that you have enjoyed all of the activities. Thank you for being such enthusiastic learners and for all of the fantastic work that you have done on Purple Mash and for the super emails and lovely photos and videos that you have sent to us this week - we hope that you enjoy the picture movie that we have put together for you.
I’ve also made a little movie to answer the questions that you asked us. I’m sorry that we can’t answer all of them at the moment but by September we should be able to share the answers to the other questions with you.
We hope that you enjoy the last week of term with Miss Woodend next week.
Keep smiling
Take care and stay safe
