Letters to those we love and much more
One of our home learning tasks this week was to write a note, letter or postcard to someone. A purpose for writing is so important and the writing is always great when it is for a real audience.
We also loved this video book review.
The maths learning has been all about money. Playing shops is a fun way to learn about this – great work, everyone!
And finally, try to watch this without a tear in your eye…
It’s all about the money, money!
We’ve had some fabulous emails about the home learning today. Everyone has been positive about the video lessons that the teachers are starting to make. Watch out for more as the week goes on.
We’ve seen some super learning about money. Counting and knowing how much money you have is a very important life skill!
We also have a budding radio presenter too. Listen to her awesome presenting skills.
The notes and letters are lovely too. Keeping in touch is so important at this difficult time.
Home learning
I have received so many pictures and messages from you today sharing your home learning so far this week.
It’s great to see and hear from you so keep them coming!

Message from Mrs Latham
I’ve recorded a message for you after setting up a tent for garden camping! Hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine. The poems are below if you want to read them.
Happy home learning – all about the emoji ❤️😊👍🏽
The ‘Design your own Emoji’ task has been very popular today! We love all your ideas and have also enjoyed hearing from lots of people, seeing photos and keeping in touch via email. Keep sending us your messages, photos and videos. Remember though, looking after your health and emotional well being is the most important thing at this time. Any missed learning can be caught up on at school when all this is over. We miss you all and hope to see you soon.
Free access to NumBots (part of Times Table Rockstars)
Before schools closed, each child was given a username and password to access Times Table Rockstars. This is useful for Year 2 children in particular, but there is also NumBots which is for improving addition and subtraction skills. They are both worth a look. If you have lost your username/password, email vickylatham@spherefederation.org and I will be able to get it for you.
Making fruit salad
Great to see the reading activity and challenge being done today – making your own fruit salad. Looks delicious!
