Hello lovely Starlings, and welcome to your Thursday home learning blog. Mrs. Judge, Mrs. Esling and Mrs. Southern have been keeping me up to date with how hard you are all working this week and we are so very proud of you all, and your grown ups!
I am looking forward to our Zoom call this morning. We’ll be doing a little more dough disco so please have your playdoh ready if you have some, but remember it’s okay if you don’t have any.
Today’s tasks are Phonics Maths, English and Spelling tasks. Please see the links to the day’s lesson videos and find the attached PowerPoint versions also. Your Read Write Inc videos are as normal using the same link.
Mrs. Esling will be online on the class discussion homework page today so please share your learning with her as you have been doing all week. I will be in school all day today. Any problems please let one of us know or email admin@lostockgralam.cheshire.sch.uk and we will do our very best to resolve these straight away.

Good Moring Starlings
Can you try Wednesday’s challenge and see if you can spot any signs of Spring emerging? We don’t want to spoil our view with rubbish so maybe you could do your part and help school to keep our playground clean and try one of these activities below:
In order to receive and all of the above and be in with a chance of winning a school litter picking kit through our #EcoSchoolsAtHome campaign, we are would like a minimum of 30 of your pupils to take part in 5 of our short eco-challenges below before 26th March 2021:
· Draw a ‘Don’t drop litter’ poster and display in a window at school or at home
· Upcycle a plastic bottle into something new
· Carry out a 2 day single use plastic audit in school or at home
· Design a new anti littering slogan and logo for fast food, soft drinks or PPE litter
· Interview an older person to ask them about their thoughts on if the amount of litter is increasing.
I’ll also be available for a ‘chat’ on the Class Discussion and Homework page.
As usual, please do your home learning on maths, writing, phonics, spellings, worship, reading and a fitness activity.
