Good morning wonderful willow and thank you SO much for all your hard work during this crazy time. We are SUPER DUPER TRUPER impressed with all your effort and commitment to learning at home and we cannot wait to see you in real life next week!!

If you haven’t already looked or you would like to look again, then here is a reminder of what the classroom looks like ready for your return to school – classroom tour.

Today, there are some more football activities for you take part in instead of (or as well as) your cosmic yoga session. Click on the links: Session 1, session 2, session 3

You also have time to finish off your write up/video discussion about your diorama that you made yesterday. They were all so fantastic and Mrs Lutas rewarded you with 1xdojo if you made one. We would like to double that to 2xdojos for each child that made a diorama as we were so impressed!

There is also a maths and a phonics session today if you get round to it!

Thanks again for all your hard work and we look forward to next week 🙂

Good morning wonderful willow… please have a little look at our classroom tour. We’ve changed things around and here’s your chance to have a little look before Monday!

Here is a reminder of our suggested timetable for this week: Term 4 Timetable

Today you can enjoy PE, phonics and handwriting, literacy (Year 1&2) or guided reading (reception), maths and an RE lesson. Don’t forget to keep your eyes wide open for the symbol where you should stop your lesson and lose yourself for 10-15 minutes in a good book! Did you spot it yesterday during literacy, year 1 and 2? Or just after your maths, reception? Where will it be today?

Please reply to sign in for today.

And it’s the start of another new month… Happy March everyone!

We do hope you have been enjoying the spring sunshine this weekend and are ready to start your final week of home learning (for good, hopefully!). We can’t begin to tell you how proud we are of you all and how excited we are for this time next week.

We have a wonderful  week lined up for you:  Term 4 Timetable

On Thursday, we are celebrating World Book Day, but to enjoy the fun all week, you will see this symbol        randomly within your lesson plans. There will be one each day to look out for. So, when you see the Stop, Drop and Read! symbol then make sure you do just that- stop your lesson, grab a book and let your imagination fly in the world of stories!

Today, you have PE, phonics and KL handwriting, literacy (Year 1&2) or guided reading (reception), maths and a fun science lesson this afternoon investigating wind; you can make your own wind turbine! Don’t forget to look out for the Stop, Drop and Read! symbol and have lots of fun with your learning.

And we’re back again! We hope you’ve all had a restful week and are feeling refreshed!

Good morning everyone and welcome to a brand new term.

We have a new suggested timetable for you this term- Term 4 Timetable. We have made some changes to the subjects that we would like the children to complete. You will notice you have ‘literacy’ on the timetable (for Year 1 and 2); this has replaced Guided Reading and the writing element of the mini topics. These have been uploaded to this blog as a PowerPoint doc because they contain some audio files. The easiest way for you to access these is to download them to your device so that they don’t become altered. Please email your teachers if there are any technical issues. They have also been uploaded as PDFs in case of formatting issues but unfortunately these do not contain the audio files so the children will likely need an adult to read to them. There is also an additional live session on your timetable: there is a book club session on Tuesday pm as well as an alternating PSHE or ICT session on a Thursday pm and an assembly on Friday. You will also see that there is no mini-topic but, instead, there is a different subject lesson for you each day. This is because, until later today at the news briefing, we are unsure of the plan to return to school so we can’t deliver ‘blocks’ of lessons because they don’t guarantee subject coverage.

Phew- that was a lot of information! So today you can enjoy PE with Joe Wicks, Phonics and Kinetic Letters handwriting, Literacy (Year 1&2) or Guided Reading (Reception), Maths, Science (this is optional for Reception) and story time- choose from one of the stories on the page and practise your own reading too!

Reply to sign in today and, as always, email us with any queries, concerns and to show off that wonderful work!
