It was lovely to see our new parent last night at the first of our reading evenings. As promised, I have attached some useful websites and games that would support the children and yourselves when sounding out and learning new sounds.

We’ve made it to the last week of the Summer Term! We can’t thank you enough for your support and dedication to keep the children working through these unprecedented times. Mrs Phillips-Ames has been busy adding all photos from home and from school to our busy book. When we get back to a new “normal” and we are allowed to share again, I would like to invite you to come and see exactly how well everyone has done together. It looks even busier than normal!

What a busy week! Leopards have been busy at home and school this week, working hard on their zoo creations, animal homes and tiger facts. We are so proud of how well they are doing, thank you for your continued support.
This coming week will see the children use their imaginations, caring for their own “creature”. If you haven’t already collected it, there is a little “creature” waiting at Reception for you to collect. There is no right or wrong this week, just encouragement to complete the step-by-step tasks.
Hi all!
Next week, some of us will be going back to school, not as Class 1 but as the “Leopard” bubble! We will be covering the same work as those at home, so please keep sending photos in, I would like to show the children that we are still a team, regardless of whether we are in or out of school at the moment.
I have added some extra stories onto our You tube page, don’t forget to keep checking and I will be putting on some videos of work we do in class too, if you feel it might help.

Day 1 The Princess And The Wizard
Day 2 The Princess And The Wizard
Day 3 The Princess And The Wizard
Big cats, small rats, tiny fleas and buzzing bees!
This half term, we’re going to discover that animals come in all shapes and sizes! We will meet animal owners which will allow us to ask and answer questions, share information about the pets we have at home and write animal information booklets.
We’ll study animal artwork, draw detailed animal pictures to capture their special features and make collages, sculptures and prints. Famous animal fables will make us laugh, and we will have fun reading them aloud. We’ll spot similarities and differences between animals, look at different habitats around the world and investigate camouflage. Designing a zoo is even on the agenda!
At the end of our project, we’ll share our work with you! An exhibition of our amazing artwork and performances of animal songs, with musical accompaniment, will allow you to take a walk on the wild side with us. We will also share our knowledge of animals and recite amusing rhymes that may include an animal noise or two!
Help your child prepare for their project
Animals are amazing! Why not take photos of a favourite pet together and describe their habits, likes and dislikes? You could also put bird food in the garden and visit a local park or nature reserve for a spot of bird watching. Make a note of their markings and features then use a simple spotting book or app to identify different species.
Thank you so much for your hard work and support. The children have produced so much beautiful work, I hope you are very proud of them?! Here are some of this weeks photos that have been sent in to finish off our “Why do Ladybirds Have Spots?”.
I want to thank everyone for their huge effort and support through this time at home. You are all doing so well. I just wanted to say if your child is showing some resentment, you do not need to be doing all of this work and putting unnecessary pressure on yourself and your child. If you are struggling, take a break and come back to it. We are all feeling the same. Nobody will mind! Just keep talking to us. Jo xx
Dear Parents,

Lesson 1 Compare Lengths And Heights
IMPORTANT Change to Maths
As you are all aware, we have been using ‘White Rose Maths’ materials for the vast majority of the maths homeschooling provision. As of Monday 11th May, WRM are stopping the free access to the independent worksheets.
So what does this mean?
You will still be able to access the resources because we already subscribe to WRM, but there’s just a small change in where you will find them. Still go onto the WRM page as normal and watch the video, this will remain free and accessible to all. Then instead of downloading the activity by clicking next to the video, visit your classes home learning page, where your teacher will have uploaded the resources for you, and download the day’s activity free from there.
