Science – planting potatoes
Watch this video to learn all about how to prepare potatoes (it’s called chitting) before you plant them.
Home learning heroes
Thank you for all the emails, photos and learning that you have shared during our zoom sessions. Everyone has done their best in these difficult circumstances and that is all we can ask for. Enjoy a well-earned half term break.
Have a listen to this super reading fluency.
Sometimes, learning goes off in a different direction – which is fine! Feeling proud of an achievement is great motivation to learn. Making a sock dispenser, using toys to count, baking a cake or finding out which materials are waterproof are all valuable lessons!
And to make learning even more exciting…some people like to dress up…
End of unit quizzes
Have a go at our quizzes to see what you can remember from the Science and Geography learning this half term.

Message from Boris
I hope everyone managed to see the message from Boris yesterday. It was the introduction to the writing texts learning for the week. Even if you don’t do all the lessons, the message is worth watching!
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM BORIS JOHNSON
Children’s Mental Health Week
Children’s Mental Health Week is taking place on 1-7 February 2021. This year’s theme is Express Yourself.
Here are some activities and ideas for you and your child(ren) to complete at home together. You can also download it here.
Expressing yourself is about finding ways to share feelings, thoughts, or ideas, through creativity. It is about finding a way to show who you are, and how you see the world, that can help you feel good about yourself.
As parents and carers, you play an important role in your child’s mental health. Check out the free resources.
Don’t forget to email your teachers with any photos or messages of your activities about Children’s Mental Health Week.
Thank you!
Home learning in different ways
We have had some lovely pictures of children learning in different ways this week like refining problem solving skills, being aware of environmental issues, working on fine and gross motor skills and measuring. There has been word searching, litter picking, baking, bike riding, painting, mosaic making and operating a digger!
Home learning heroes
We’ve had some lovely emails from people learning at home. Thank you for keeping in touch with your teachers and keeping your brains busy.
Things are feeling tough for some people, but just do what you can and have a day off every now and again, if you need to!
Jake is really enjoying the science videos.
