Hello, Hola, Bonjour, G’day mate 1,2V
Hi guys,
Hope you are all doing well. It seems ages since we’ve seen each other but it’s only been a week! I hope you are all doing ok and enjoying some of the learning tasks we have set? It has been lovely to see photos and hear about what you are doing at home. Keep the emails coming.
It has been busy at the Latham house with our 6 new chicks to look after. It has been keeping my children busy so I can get on with some work! I have been joining in with the Joe Wicks live workout and doing some dancing along to my favourite Go Noodle dances too. Why don’t you do some at home?
Take care and hopefully see you all soon.
Love Mrs Latham
Hello 2KN
Hi 2KN,
We hope you’re all well and enjoying the sunshine.
We are really enjoying seeing and hearing about all the fabulous learning you are doing- keep it up superstars!
Have you been doing the Joe Wicks PE sessions? We have in the Lowry and Lake households and it is keeping us fit and healthy. We have been enjoying the Cosmic Kids yoga and Go Noodle too.
Have you been playing outside in the lovely sunshine? Did you spy any new birds flying around or find any new creatures in the grass?
You will have new learning tasks set everyday next week. We would love to see what you have been doing in your red home learning books. There are so many great learning websites and videos online too. This menu of home learning websites has so many to choose from. Please email us to tell us what else you have been doing whilst you’ve been at home. Maybe you have done some baking, played a board game or done some arts and crafts. Send us pictures of all the wonderful things you have been doing.
We miss you all and hope to see you soon. Have a lovely weekend and take care of yourselves. Stay safe and happy.
Miss Lowry and Mrs Lake
Professor Myers challenges you!
Descriptive writing
Thanks Amelie for getting in touch to share your brilliant writing. Can’t wait for the full story. Viking boy’s Tony Bradman has inspired you but yours is much better. Well done.
Story Time
Hello, Nursery! We’re really enjoying seeing all of the photographs that you have emailed us. You’ve all been really busy learning at home. Keep up the good work next week and don’t forget to e-mail us. We’re going to aim to post things on our website on Monday, Wednesday and Friday; make sure you check in with us on those days to see what Ferdie has been doing.
Today, we thought we’d share a story together. Ferdie has chosen to read ‘Hattie Peck’ by Emma Levey (published by Simon and Schuster). Hattie loves eggs but she doesn’t have any of her own so she goes searching for eggs around the world.
- What does Hattie Peck love?
- What did Hattie Peck want most of all?
- Hattie had an idea, what did she decide to do?
- What happened on her journey?
- Can you remember where Hattie found some of the eggs?
At the end of the story, there’s an illustration to show all of the different creatures that hatched from the eggs that Hattie found.
- Can you name some of them?
- Can you think of any other creatures that hatch from eggs?
Home Learning
One of the suggested home learning activities for this week, was to look at eggs and have a go at peeling the shell off a hard boiled egg. However, we know that eggs are difficult to buy at the moment, so we wouldn’t want one to go to waste! Make sure you make a sandwich afterwards and ask your child to help you butter the bread and mash the egg for inside. Yum, yum!

Day 5 of your home learning pack
Get crafty!
Did your child make a model with recycled items? It would be great to see a photo of it! Please email us.
Letter formation
Has your child been singing the letter formation ditty’s whilst writing? Letters that are often difficult are s,b,d,e and a. Encourage your child to practise these.
Maths
Can your child count on to find the answer?
If you have any questions we are here to help and will respond to emails during school hours: scholesf2@spherefederation.org
Chick, chick, chicken…
Here’s a quick up-date on our chicks. We have 7 chicks that have hatched and they’re all now happily keeping warm under the brooder. You may remember that one of the chicks was taking a very long time to break out of its shell. With a little bit of help, it broke free and spent an extra 24 hours in the incubator whilst its feathers dried. It has now been moved to join the rest of its friends.
Some of the chicks are just beginning to grow feathers on their wings. These look different to the fluffy down. Can you see them in the photograph?
The chicks are getting bigger everyday, in fact, they can now jump on top of the brooder and one managed to escape! We’re going to move them into a bigger space today so that they have more room to run around. They’re also very fast; Mrs Long has been struggling to catch them!
Home Learning and family fun
Thank you to those children that have been sending us details of your family fun and home learning. Here are a few of your chick drawings; we love their long legs and fluffy feathers. It’s also great to see you’re enjoying some sunshine too.

Day 4 of your home learning pack
Phonics
Did you play snakes and ladders today? Was your child able to spot any digraphs and trigraphs? MrThorne has some engaging and informative videos about digraphs and trigraphs.
The snakes and ladders games are from an educational resource website called Twinkl. Twinkl are offering parents and carers free access to thousands of resources, so you can select your own activities based on your child’s interests too.
“Setting this up is really easy to do – go to www.twinkl.co.uk/offer and enter the code UKTWINKLHELPS”
Maths
How did you find making number stories for your child? Here are some ideas of number problems you could ask your child.
Literacy
Did you read todays story? The children have really enjoyed talking about what will happen to the eggs in our classroom. Can your child tell you the life cycle of a chicken? Please email us your child’s comments.
If you have any questions we are here to help and will respond to emails during school hours: scholesf2@spherefederation.org
Good morning 5/6 S
Good morning everybody!
I hope you all had a good nights sleep and that you’re looking forward to another day of home learning.
Today I am setting you a challenge. I want as many of you as possible to email me to let me know how you are getting on. I’m missing our class chats and giggles together. In your emails though, I want you to tell me about one of the best things that you’ve done whilst at home, since we finished school. I want to know how you are getting on with your home learning and also the yummiest thing you have eaten recently. We are no longer able to have our chats about food, so we will have to do it via email instead. I accidentally ate a Cadbury’s Creme Egg last night (other eggs are available). It was yummy! Feel free to send me any pics of what you are up to- it’s nice to see your smiling faces. I’ve already seen a few photos and it has really made me smile.
Anyway, I hope to hear from you later. Have a great day and keep smiling.
Mrs H.x
