Everyday you should be doing the following before any extra classwork, (you don’t have to do it in this order).
Spelling – (See list from yesterday)
10 words from the year 1,2,3 or 4 list. (I will include the list for children to see)
Look, cover, say, write, check – x 5 for each word
Then put each word into a sentence
Reading – 20 minutes (at least) every day
Also Reading Eggs activities
Handwriting – bomereheathschool.org.uk/…/Joined-handwriting-upper-and-lower-case-letters.pdf
Write three lines of each word from your daily spellings everyday in joined writing and the sentences you made. (In your exercise books)
Write out/ copy in joined handwriting, one paragraph from your reading book each day.
Times Tables –
Use ‘Times Tables Rockstars’ to help you speed up!
Write out and learn times tables for x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x8, x10 and the equivalent division facts. If you know these really well and can answer any fact within 3 seconds go on to learn the rest x7, x9, x11, x12
Optional – Diary Writing –
Keep a diary of what you do each day, how you feel and anything interesting that happens.
Once you have completed daily activities do the following:
Education City x 4 maths activities (We are seeing that this is very busy in the morning, so try this in the afternoon or evening)
Project (For this week)
As we have been discussing rocks in our science work, I would like to see how many of you can make a working volcano. Please send pictures or videos to the school. Some great links online.
If you want to measure the height of the volcanic eruption please do so and send it to me and we will see who the winner is. 🙂
You can also leave parts of your lava to cool and see which rocks you can make.
Can’t wait to see these!

- Lots of elderly people cannot have guests at the moment, so we thought it would be a nice idea if you could write a letter. Tell them what you are doing, maybe include a nice drawing. I know they would really appreciate this especially in the care homes.You can email to school: admin@bomereheath.shropshire.sch.uk
- or drop into the school office reception in an envelope.
