Good morning Starlings

                                 

I hope you are all well and looking forward to another day of home learning. I have been very busy in school this week, it still feels strange to be there and not see your little faces. I have them all in my mind though. Our bubble classrooms are nearly ready and I can’t wait to welcome you all into our new zones soon. It won’t be long now.

There are the four adults who will be working with our two Year One bubbles. Mrs Elson will be working with Miss Gillam in one bubble and Mrs Rice will be working with Mrs Southern in the other. We have chosen to work like this to ensure that you ALL have an adult that you know really well to help you to settle back into school. Working and playing in a bubble just means that we are working with a smaller group of our friends, a smaller Starlings team. There will be no more than 15 children in each Starling bubble.  We have made a lovely video to share with you soon where Teddy shows you exactly what our school looks like now that there have been a few little changes. I will keep telling you little bits about our return so that you know exactly what to expect when we get to see each other again in a couple of weeks’ time.

 

Please continue to follow our attached timetable today. I have also listed some additional activities that you might enjoy having a go at below. Enjoy! 

 

Maths

A few weeks ago, our Maths work focused on Volume and Capacity. I wonder if you could solve some problems on the BBC Bitesize website today? In today's lesson, learn how to solve some farmyard problems about capacity and volume.

Writing

Today I would like you to learn how to correctly write the days of the week in order and use them in writing. Remember that the days of the week always start with a capital letter and all end in 'day'.

You need to remember the sequence for the days of the week - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

 

Please follow the link below to see a lovely BBC Bitesize lesson with a video and activities to help you to learn the days of the week.

History  

 Who is Valentina Tereshkova?

In today’s History lesson we are going to be learning all about Valentina Tereshkova. She was the first woman to go into space! We will be listening to and drawing the story of her phenomenal life. Get your space suit ready so we can blast off into space!

Have a lovely day Starlings, fingers crossed the rain will stop soon so you can enjoy spending some more time outdoors.

With lots of love

Miss Gillam

 

Message from Mrs Powell

Pause for Thought: Being Grateful

Click here to watch the following video: https://youtu.be/dilMMKU762g

Lucky showed his gratitude to Jack by saving his life, and Jack did not abandon his faithful friend. He, too, showed gratitude in return.

Think about and discuss the following questions:

• Who are we grateful to?
• Who has helped us recently?
• Are we people who say ‘thank you’ often?
• Is there someone to whom we should show gratitude today?

 

Dear God,

Teach us to show our gratitude for what we have

By caring for those around us,

And for the wonderful world in which we live.

Amen.
