Date: 1st May 2020 @ 8:56am

Hello hello hello!

Are you ready for the weekend? Did you notice anything different about the date today? Thank you so much for all of your hard work this week, you are all making me so proud. Our Twitter feed is looking fantastic, filling quickly with lots of your amazing home learning. Please remember that you can also send work or photographs of your quality family time together to me via email. I can then Tweet the work for you if you would like me to.

Do you like playing maths games? I know I do! Here is a link to some super games for you to play online. Please select either number bonds, doubles or halves. I do not expect the children to learn timetables in Year One. Learning how to count in 2s, 5s, and 10s is the expectation for our year group.

Today is the ‘Friday Maths Challenge’ on the White Rose Maths website. Follow the link and scroll down to Friday. The most suitable questions for Starlings and questions 1 and 2. But why don’t you work with your family on the rest of the problems? Solve as many as you can! Help each other out.

My final idea is a bit like Marmite. You will either love it or hate it. Please feel free to pretend that you never even saw this one…

Why not have a go at making music using everyday objects?  Maybe you could use pots and pans to make your own drum kit? Please use the link below as inspiration.

Message from Mrs Powell

“Somewhere inside all of us is the power to change the world.” Roald Dahl

You are amazing and you are doing something very special; by not leaving the house you are keeping safe.  We have talked about making one small change that can change the world and actually that is what you are doing right now. I’ve said this a lot but future children will be reading how you made the world a safer place by staying inside.

Remember what you are doing is amazing and we are so proud of you.  If you can, have a hot chocolate today. If not, have a cup of anything you like to drink and remember how very special we think you are!
