Good Morning,

I thought I would start this morning with an idea for an activity. In my house we have got a Wishes Jar. In our jar, whenever we think of something we would like to do but can’t at the moment, or that we are missing, we write it down on a piece of paper and pop it in the jar. Then, when lockdown is over we are going to take the pieces of paper out of the jar (not all at once) and do the things that we wrote down. The things that you write don’t have to be big, but are just a reminder of the things that we enjoy doing but can’t. In our jar we have things like walking up a mountain, going on the Severn Valley Railway and of course getting myself a Starbucks! Maybe you could create a wishes jar with your family?

Good Morning,

I hope you have all had a good three day weekend. At my house we did lots of playing in the garden and got the paddling pool out. We also had a barbeque, which was going well until it started to thunder!

This week I’ve set up another TTR Battle for you, and we have gone back to Year One versus Year Two. The score in year group tournaments is 1 – 1. Who is going to take the lead this week? The only other part of TTR that I want you to look at this week is the Garage. This section is automatically set to your level after you have done the Gig test the first time you enter the Garage. I know some of you haven’t yet completed this part of it, but stick with it as completing it means that the garage will be set to your personal level.

For Maths this week things have changed a little bit. You are still going to be doing the lessons from White Rose, but I will be giving you two links. One for the video and one for the activity.

Year One – Adding by making 10 – Video                                                                                                                                   Monday Activity Y1

Year Two- Adding and subtracting 10s – Video                                                                                                                                    Monday Activity Y2

In English you are continuing with Oak National Academy.

Year One, this week you are looking at another brilliant book; The Tiger who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr. Today you are listening to the story and then answering questions about it: Lesson One

Year Two, you are continuing your learning about The Firework maker’s Daughter. and will today be retrieving information from chapter two: Lesson One

Remember as well to keep practising your spellings and handwriting.

Something else that I have seen that you might like to watch and do is a Let’s Go Live lesson with Maddie Moate and Greg Foot about Planting Tomatoes and Potatoes

Today’s story recommendation is Under the Same Sky

Keep up the good work,

Mrs G.

Good Morning Children,

As you all probably know, today is the 75th anniversary of VE Day. I was in school yesterday and we planted a tree to commemorate the day in the star flower bed outside our classroom.

I also know that a lot of you are doing things to celebrate the day at home. It would be lovely to see some pictures next week. At my house we have been making bunting and flags and will be having a tea party this afternoon.

So, today I’m not setting you any English or Maths, but if you would like them, on Twinkl there are lots of VE day crafts that you can have a go at.

Have a fab weekend,

Mrs G

Good Morning,

The end of the week is already here! It has been really good to speak to so many of you this week and hear about everything you have been up to.

Maths:

Year One you are adding and counting on within 20: Thursday’s Lesson

Year Two, you are adding and subtracting: Thursday’s Lesson

English:

Year One you are learning to describe a character’s personality: Lesson 4

Year Two you are going to be exploring expanded noun phrases: Lesson 4 

Today there is also an activity on BBC Bitesize about the parts of plant that I thought would be a good one for you to do as part of our learning about plants.

I know that some of you have got some really exciting things planned to celebrate VE Day tomorrow, so I hope you all have lots of fun and a fabulous three day weekend!

Take care,

Mrs G.

Good Morning,

Well done on all your hard work so far this week.

I’ve set up a new battle for you on TTR. We’ve going for boys against girls this time. Boys, the girls have topped the leaderboard for both year groups every week, so you have really got your work cut out to beat them. I have every faith in you though!

Today in maths Year One you are learning about addition: Wednesday’s Lesson

Year Two, you are learning about related facts: Wednesday’s Lesson

English:

Year One you are learning about character description: Describing the dragon

Year Two you are going to be looking at the key features of the character descriptions: Lila and Lalchand

Have a good day!

Mrs G.

Good Morning,

Well done to everyone on your efforts with TTR yesterday, one more day on your normal training and then your new battle will start tomorrow.

Some of you might be starting to see your seeds starting to grow; certainly the cress. When you create your picnic sandwich for DT, you could think about using your cress or lettuce in your design.

Maths today is lesson two from week three on White Rose.

Year One you are learning about how addition and subtraction are linked: Tuesday’s Lesson

Year Two you are learning to compare number sentences: Tuesday’s Lesson

For English, Year One you will be using story maps to learn the story of St George and the Dragon: Tuesday

Year Two you will be continuing to learn about making inferences: Tuesday 

This afternoon have a go at part of one of the activities on your grid.

Have a good day!

Mrs G.

Good Morning Haughmond and Happy Star Wars Day,

May the Fourth be with you!

I hope you’ve had a good weekend. We were very glad that the rain held off in Market Drayton so we could get outside again.

Well done to everyone in the TTR battle last week and a massive wow to Lara who scored a very impressive 5,750 points for Year Two! This week I am going to set the battle from Wednesday, so today and tomorrow I would like you to practise your normal training.

In Maths we are now on Week Three in the White Rose activities.

Year One, today you are looking at part whole relationships, which lots of you are reall good at anyway so it will be a bit of revision to keep in fresh in your mind. The link is here: Monday

Year Two, you are looking at addition and subtraction facts to 20. Like Year One, this will be some revision, but I know you are all quicker at adding than subtracting so I know it will be useful for you to do. Your link is here: Monday

For your English, we are again going to be use the National Oak Academy like last week.

Year One, this week you are going to be learning about St George and the Dragon, which will link to St George’s Day which was a couple of weeks ago. Lesson one is learning the story and is here: Monday 

Year Two, you are continuing your learning about The Firework Maker’s Daughter. Today you will be making inferences: Monday

Remember to also keep going with your reading, handwriting and spelling too.

Keep up the good work!

Mrs G.

Good Morning Haughmond and welcome to a brand new month!

It has been lovely that over the last two days I’ve had so many e-mails, photographs and copies of what you have been doing at home. I am still very proud of everything that you are all doing and seeing what you’ve done always brightens my day. I will be putting some photos and pictures onto our news page so you can see what your friends are up to as well.

For Maths today I would like you to complete lesson 5 on the White Rose website. As with last week it is challenge day and if you can’t access the activity on White Rose, they will also be available at BBC Bitesize. The links for White Rose are here:

Year One      Year Two

It’s the last day of the TTR battle, and I’m giving you until this evening to get as many points as you can for your year group. The gap is closing Keep battling! 

English, again, is a continuation of the lessons you’ve been doing this week.
Year One your lesson is the last one on Sam’s Sandwich and can be found here: Lesson 5.

Year Two your lesson is to write a set of instructions and can be found here: Lesson 5

As it is Friday, you also need to ask someone in your house to test you on last week’s spellings before starting to practise the new ones.

This afternoon, the Sealife Centre in London are doing a live session about their penguins. A link to it, along with some extra penguin related activities can be found down the page on the Twinkl home learning hub here: Twinkl Hub

I hope you all have a good weekend,

Missing you all,

Mrs G.

Good Morning Everyone!

Well done on all your hard work so far this week. Keep it up! I hope you are enjoying the new types of lesson.

For Maths today I would like you to complete lesson 4 on the White Rose website. For both year groups you will be carrying out problem solving activities. The links are here:

Year One      Year Two

Please also keep up with your excellent efforts on TTR. Last time I checked, Year Two were still in the lead but Year One were closing the gap! Please remember the other parts of the website though too. Only 6 of you have attempted soundchecks and 8 of you haven’t had a go at the Garage or Studio sections.

If you feel like practising your addition and subtraction skills, remember you can have a look at Numbots too. 

English, again, is a continuation of the lessons you’ve been doing this week.
Year One your lesson is about writing instructions and can be found here Lesson 4

Year Two your lesson is about adverbs and can be found here: Lesson 4

As well as this, remember it is important to keep practising your handwriting and spellings, along with keeping reading using either the Oxford Owls website or Reading Eggs.

If you want a longer story to listen to on Audible, they have now released the Harry Potter books for you to listen to for free.

Have a good day,

Mrs G.
