Good Morning everyone Happy 1st of May!

The weeks do seem to whizz along and now it is Friday again! I hope you have enjoyed your learning at home this week well done for whatever you have managed to do. The stars of the blog today are Miss Haynes's chicks! They fit in beautifully with Reception's learning this week all around chickens! Keep your eye out for more of the fabulous animals Miss Haynes's Dad has at home, there will be more photos appearing on the blog! 

Are you doing PE with Joe this morning?

Phonics (reading and spelling)

Please try to spend 10 minutes (or more if you would like to) on a phonics activity to keep making your brains bigger and reminding yourself how to read and spell sounds. You can go on https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk or Teach Your Monster To Read https://www.teachyourmonstertoread.com (which is also available as an app).

Reception and Year 1 children If you would like to do a page in your phonics workbooks (the ones made by CGP) please do so.

Year 1- Day 5 of your activities on your plan -Today you are going to talk and learn about how to take care of a pet, I know many of you will be great at this as you have your own pets at home and we have learnt about how to take care of animals in school. Then you are going to write a list of instructions telling us how to take care of a pet.  

Year 2- Day 5 of your activities on your plan - Today you are going to talk about all the poems you have read this week and then choose your favourites. After this I would like you to practise performing your favourite poem, you could use your teddies and toys as your audience! Once we are back together in school you can perform your poem to the class if you would like to! 

Next week your activities will be ...
