Good Morning Haughmond!

Today, firstly remember to keep up with your daily tasks.

Sam, thank you for your picture of you and Indi. I can tell you spent an hour working on it, it’s really good!

I have changed the training on Times Tables Rockstars a little bit, so it will now do automatic training and take you through levels when it is sure you are completely secure with the previous one.

For the rest of your Maths learning today, it’s lesson 3 on the set I gave you on Monday.

For English, today will be your second lesson about the Magic Faraway Tree. Please remember when you are writing to try and get your handwriting spot on. If you need to practise your handwriting a bit more, try and find the link I gave you before the Easter holidays.

Your lessons today are at:

Year One: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zd372sg

Year Two: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zpbbkqt/articles/zf6c47h

Happy Learning!

Mrs G.

Good Morning!

Wasn’t it a lovely day yesterday? Remember to try and get outside in the garden when the weather is nice and make the most of it. You never know when the rain might come again!

Thank you for sending your nature picture to me Gabbi, it’s fab! I will put a picture of it onto our News page so that everyone else can see it too.

Keep going with all your daily activities.

For Maths today I would like you to go back on the link I gave you yesterday and complete lesson 2.

Keep going with Times Tables Rockstars too. I was really pleased when I logged on yesterday morning and could see that people had already been practising. Remember that you can access Numbots too with the same login if you want to have a go at that.

For your English today and tomorrow we are going to be using the BBC Bitesize lessons. Both lessons will use The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton, one of my favourite childhood books, but the activities are a little bit different, depending whether you are Year One or Two.

Today’s lessons can be found at:

Year One – https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z7hc47h

Year Two – https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zpbbkqt/articles/z7b72sg

There are letters and sounds activities on Education City too.

For your other learning, remember to use the grid of activities.

Have a good day,

Mrs Gregory.

Good morning Haughmond,

I hope you all had a lovely Easter break with lots of chocolate and you were able to do some nice things with your families. At my house we’ve done lots of art activities and been camping in our garden! We’ve also done lots of jobs but my children haven’t found that very exciting!

How about starting your morning with Joe Wicks live P.E.? I will be joining in with my children to work off our Easter eggs!

Maths

Maths is going to be a little bit different this term. Each Monday I am going to give you a link to a week’s maths lessons that you can follow and complete the activities each day. All the weeks are on one page so you just need to check you’ve picked the week with that Monday’s date.

I know that not all of you are able to print out the activities, so you can just write the answers and your working out in your book. There are different lessons for Year One and Year Two:

Year One: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/

Year Two: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/

Times Tables Rockstars – This week I haven’t set a battle because I would like you to focus on the Garage, Studio and Soundcheck sections. Please could you do at least one of these activities each day and for at least 15 minutes.

English

Please continue with your daily tasks and practise your spellings and handwriting. If you can spell all the words off the weekly spellings, also remember to practice the list of words that you took home in your packs.

Reading Eggs/Reading Eggspress – For today I have set most of you a Storylands lesson on Reading Eggs to complete. Some of you will have a lesson on Reading Eggspress instead, as you have completed all the Storylands lessons. You know who you are!

The week’s letters and sounds is on Education City for you to work through.

For your other activities, I have put together a grid with nine different mini projects for you to work through which are linked to the different topics we would have been learning about if we were still in school. Remember, each of the activities should take more than one session and don’t feel you need to start them all at once. It is up to you how you organise yourself for it. I will put the document in another post as well so you can always find it easily.

Haughmond Home Learning Tasks

My audiobook recommendation for this week is for you to access Oliver Jeffers’ website and watch him reading some of his books. The videos can be found at https://www.oliverjeffers.com/abookaday

Take care, and keep staying safe. You are all doing amazingly and I am so proud of you.

Mrs G.

Good Morning!

Last day of the term today, so for two weeks this will be my last daily update. You can still send things to me, but I might not be able to acknowledge them until after the holidays. There will be some ideas of activities on the website over the holidays in case you want something to do.

Again, it looks like a lovely day, although I ended up being wrong yesterday as it went very grey in Market Drayton!

English

Your English today comprises of a few tasks:

1. Spelling test! The spellings to learn for your test after Easter are now on the website too.
2. The next Storylands lesson you have got on Reading Eggs
3. The second task after the two that you set yesterday

Maths

1. TTR – Year Two, I am so impressed that you are currently beating the Year Fives! See if you can increase your lead to make it a definite victory. Lara, you are doing incredibly! Year One boys, the girls have taken a big lead against you. Serena, well done for scoring the most points in Year One (so far) for the second week in a row. Dom, Patrick and Sam, you are putting up an especially determined fight for the boys, but can everyone else help you close the gap?
2. The last two days you have been learning about time. Today I’ve found a jigsaw for you to have a go at here https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-n-5408-oclock-and-half-past-times-jigsaw-puzzle-activity If you can’t print it off, have a god at finding matching times and draw them in your book, or ask your grown up to draw you some clock faces so you can work out the time. If you wanted you could even create your own time matching jigsaw for someone else to complete. Year Two, this would allow you to practise time to the five minutes as well.

Art

I keep saying it is important for you to spend some time outside, so at some point soon I would like you to go out into your garden and draw/paint/colour something that you see outside. It could be a flower, a plant or your dog lying in the sunshine! My boys have done some leaf rubbings with wax crayons. Whatever you choose to do, remember to look carefully at what you are drawing and include as much detail as you can.

I hope you all have a cracking Easter, and I will be back in two weeks!

Stay safe,

Mrs G.
