Good morning lovely Starlings,

I hope you’ve had a lovely week so far and haven’t melted in the sunshine! It’s going to be another very warm one today so lots of sun cream, water and a sun hat today! ☀️ 

 

I’m so pleased to hear we have some more of you coming back to our bubbles next week. School is a little bit different to what it was like last time you were there, so please have a look at the pictures below. It’ll really help you to get ready for coming back! We’ve been having so much fun in our bubbles, have a look at some of the things were have been doing on Twitter. 😊

Today's sporting challenge is demonstrated by Miss Thwaites completing the Speed Bounce

This will certainly get your heart racing! How many times can you jump side to side in 10/20/30 seconds? How many people could you challenge to beat your score?

 

Our story today is brought to you by Mrs Campion reading Little Owls first day. What a perfect book for her to read as she will be welcoming lots of new little Owls in September for their first day at school. It is also  perfect for us with today being our first full day back in school.

Writing

In today’s writing lesson, we will start to write our information text. You will need a piece of lined paper and a pencil for this. Don’t forget to let me know if you have run out of space in your home learning book.

Maths

In our Maths lesson for today we will be exploring ‘equal groups’ in the context of shapes with equal numbers of sides. Can you solve problems using repeated patterns?

Geography – Where are the world’s Oceans?

Today, we will be learning about the 5 oceans on our earth and the location of them in relation to the 7 continents. We will be looking at which continents surround the oceans. We will then compare the difference between an ocean and a sea. In this lesson you will need a pencil, a piece of paper or an exercise book and your wonderful brain.

Science

Lots of us are back in bubbles at school now so this week make your own bubbles. Watch this video to help. Make your own bubble blower using an empty water bottle. Experiment with different materials, shapes and sizes to see what else you can use to blow bubbles. What is the biggest bubble you can make?

Have a wonderful day and please do share what you get up to today either in our class discussion, via email or on Twitter.

Lots of love

Miss Gillam

 

A message from Mrs Powell

Our Wonderful World!

Please enjoy this poem!

Big blue planet, swinging through the universe

Big blue planet, what can it be? What can it be?

It’s the planet earth, it’s the planet earth.

It’s the planet earth, it’s the planet earth.

Big blue planet, swinging through the universe,

Big blue planet, what can we see? What can we see?

The great blue waters and the great green land

The great blue waters and the great green land

Big blue planet, swinging through the universe,

Big blue planet, what can we see? What can we see?

The great blue waters and the great green land

The great blue waters and the great green land

Big blue planet, swinging through the universe,

Big blue planet, what can we see? What can we see?

The great blue waters and the great green land

The great blue waters and the great green land

Big blue planet, swinging through the universe

God loves the planet

Loves the land and loves the sea

Loves the land and loves the sea

Loves the people, that’s you and me

Loves the people, that’s you and me

We’ll love it too, it’s our planet EARTH

We’ll love it too, it’s our planet EARTH

 

How can you help to keep God’s world a wonderful place? What could you do?

Dear God

Then let the sun come out and fill the sky with rainbows. Let the warmth of the sun heal us wherever we are broken.. Let the warmth and brightness of the sun melt our sadness. And let the light of the sun be so strong that we will see all people as our friends. Let the earth, nourished by rain, bring forth flowers to surround us with beauty. And let the mountains teach our hearts to reach upward to heaven.

Amen
