Children's Home Learning Week 6

Week 6

Hello, I cannot believe we are on week 6! What a great week we are going to have.

Hopefully I will be seeing you all on Monday in our Zoom sessions. You do not need to have a Zoom account just enter the URL https://zoom.us/join and then the ID and password that your parents received in a text last week. You will then enter a waiting room until the meeting starts. The meeting can only start when there is more than one person in the waiting room. If this happens you will be sent an email after the meeting.

Don't forget to go on Sumdog, there is an Essex competition on until Thursday, it would be lovely if Class 2 won. The more times you play Sumdog the greater the chance that we will win.

See how much you remember about Neil Armstrong by taking part in the Bitesize History lesson (go to our class History page for a link to the lesson). Can you make a blossom tree or a handprint butterfly? Instructions can be found on our art page.

Daily phonics lessons start today for Mrs Barber (10.00 a.m.) and Mrs Woodford's (10.30 a.m.) phonic groups, click on the link on our English phonic page. Please keep on reading and practising your times tables.

Take part in pyjamarama day on Friday 1st May by clicking on the rainbow at the top of our 'Home learning ideas by subject' page.

Keep sending me pictures of all the activities that you are doing at home and if you need any ideas look at our subject pages, our new Summer learning or our Home learning weekly pages to see what your friends in Class 2 have been doing. They all look as if they are having great fun. I hope you are too.

Take care and keep safe.

Mrs Barber

Zoom meetings on Monday went well, it was lovely to see you all. We have set a challenge to you for our next Zoom meeting - to make a character out of a toilet / kitchen roll. Bring your character along to our next Zoom meeting and send a picture to homelearning@northcrescent.org

Some ideas for you:

Three more toilet roll characters

A gorgeous family - Mufasa, Simba and Sarabi.

I cannot wait to see them at our Zoom meeting.

She has done lots of reading and made a bookmark too.

Two more super toilet roll characters

She made two characters out of kitchen rolls with her mum.

She made a butterfly and a mermaid. They are brilliant I hope you are going to join us on Zoom Monday to show them to your friends.

Bird watching and maths

Wow! Emily spotted lots of the birds and described where she saw them, I hope one day you might see a Blue Tit too. Super problem solving using measure. Well done.

Maths, maths maths

Darcy has been busy adding 2 and 1 digit numbers and then ordering numbers.

Well done.

Lovely to hear that your plants are growing so well that you have re potted some to bigger pots and you will be putting them in the garden soon. We would love to see some pictures when they are in your garden, perhaps you could keep a diary to note and draw your plants as they grow.

You accepted our first Zoom challenge

by being the first one to make a cardboard roll character

Well done, a super hungry caterpillar, please bring him along to our next Zoom meeting.

English - suffixes, maths - measuring and pyjamarama word search

What a fantastic suffix detective you are, you have added 'ing' or 'ed' and then you looked at making words plural and the rules for adding 's', 'es' or 'ies'. In maths you are an expert at ordering lengths and you completed a beautifully coloured word search. Well done.
