Your Excellent Work!
Here are some pictures of some of the brilliant things you’ve all been up to at home. Keep the good work going!
A Minute’s Silence – A Tribute to NHS Workers
In school, we will be holding a minute’s silence to remember the bravery and pay tribute to the NHS workers who have sadly died during the virus pandemic.
We will be holding the silence at 11am, but if you can’t do it then, you could do it with your family later today.

Supporting Home Learning
We feel that children work best when they have a routine. The Education Endowment Foundation have released a document which might help you plan your day for your child – this will help them keep mentally active, with goals to work towards.
You could print this or even use it as inspiration to create your own!
Reading and Phonics lessons
Here are some useful links to phonics and reading aimed at Reception Years 1 and 2
Letter to parents and carers about online phonics lessons
There are daily lessons for Reception and Year 1 .
It would help Year 2’s that need a bit of extra practice.
Oxford Owl have opened their ebook library to everyone so that children can access banded reading books.

To Choose the correct level use the letters and sounds levels.
Here is what has been covered in letters and sounds lessons
Reception are confident with phase 2 and have covered phase 3 once (it is recommended that it is covered twice). Children in reception can read the phase 2 books and the phase 3 books with support
Year 1 are confident with phase 4 and phase 5. Some Children will be going onto phase 6
Year 2 can read phase 5 and phase 6 and above.
Remember if you child is reluctant or struggling go back a phase to gain confidence.
We hope this helps with reading and phonics

Sam’s Picture
Sam has sent in this picture he has drawn of him and Indi. It’s lovely to know that you are still thinking about your friends even though we aren’t all together at the minute.
Gabbi’s Nature Picture
Gabbi sent in this nature picture of a field that she has made. I’m really impressed with how many different objects she has managed to use.
Ducklings!
Most of you will probably remember when I brought my rescue ducklings into school last year for you all to see. Over the Easter holidays my family were really pleased to see that one of our ducks has now had her own family of ducklings and they are all living happily on the canal near my house.
Spirited Arts Competition
Every year the National Association of Teachers of R.E. hold an art competition called Spirited Arts and this year we were going to take part as a school. As we can no longer do that, I am attaching the details of the competition in case anyone would like to create an entry at home. There are a number of themes on which your art could be created. These are judged in different age groups and the winners get themselves an Amazon voucher!
Full details can be found here: https://www.natre.org.uk/uploads/Spirited%20Arts/Spirited%20Arts%202020%20competition%20details.pdf and examples of previous year’s entries can be seen here: https://www.natre.org.uk/about-natre/projects/spirited-arts/spirited-arts-gallery/2019/
If you do create an entry, please send it into the school office so we can send the school entries in together.
Happy creating!
Mrs Gregory
