Hello my super Starlings J

I hope you are ready for a big day today. Mrs Southern, Mrs Elson, Mrs Rice and I are so excited to see you this afternoon. I have woken up feeling excited but a little bit nervous today. That is totally normal. As soon as we running around our beautiful grounds together everything will feel normal again.

I am absolutely thrilled to be taking you up into Year Two with me with me in September. That means that I get to have the pleasure of teaching ALL of you again. I think it might take a little while for me to get used to calling you Swallows though! I think that we, along with your lovely families make a wonderful team and I can't wait to welcome you all back and spend the year learning, playing and making memories together. I hope that you don't mind putting up with me for another year!

Today's story comes from Mrs Simmonds who is reading "Shark in the Park".  Perhaps you could read a story to your family today? You could even video yourself reading and post it on Twitter for all of your friends to see.

 Are you ready for another sports challenge?

Can you create your own target game? Would you use underarm throw or overarm throw? What is the highest score you could get? How could you improve your throwing?

Here is Mrs Evans to show you how it's done...

English

Look at the attached ‘random object generator’ to create some new objects. Create 5 new objects and draw a picture of what you have created. Write a sentence about each of your new objects.

Maths

Practise some more code breaking with these Emoji problems, this time with addition and subtraction. Remember, this activity can we completed on the screen. All you need to do is write the answer. You could even have a go at drawing your own emoji’s!

Science

Make 5 ice cubes. Place each one in a similar cup or pot and place them in 5 different places around your house and outside. Predict which one you think will melt first and why. Keep an eye on them and time how long it takes each one to completely melt. What did you notice? Where did it melt the fastest and the slowest? Why?

Creative

Use your imagination to create something using an empty toilet roll or kitchen roll tube.

I really can’t wait to see you all Starlings, whether it be this afternoon or in a few weeks’ time. You are all so special to us here at Lostock and we know that we will have the best time learning and playing together VERY soon.

Have a wonderful day!

With lots of love

Miss Gillam (Your sparkly new Year Two Teacher)

A message from Mrs Powell

Kindness

Mark Twain said "Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."

Kindness is something we can all understand. It generates a great experience as both giver and receiver.

In Greece, kindness towards the elderly is very important; they believe the older you are the wiser and more valuable you become. In Japan, people show their kindness and gratitude by bowing to each other. The younger person bows to the older person. A simple act of kindness can create an endless ripple effect!

How do you show your kindness? What are you going to do today?
