Hello and welcome back to Swallows class blog.

Can you believe that it is the middle of the week already? Did you enjoy writing your little quiz yesterday? I hope you learnt lots about your lovely families.  I loved reading the many examples that were sent in via our class discussion and via email.

Please see our task list and PowerPoint presentations below to see what your home learning tasks are for today. Please also remember to take a few moments to look at the class discussion page each day where I will be available to ‘chat’ to you about the work that I have set for that day. You can just pop on there to say hi or tell have a little chat with your friends. The children can type in their own messages. It is a lovely, safe way of us staying in touch.

  Maths – Can I find 10 more and 10 less?  Please see the talking Power point attached at the bottom of the page. You will see a little icon on each page which needs to be clicked on in order to hear my voice. If you are struggling to hear the sound on the PowerPoint, here is a video of the full PowerPoint. You may need to come out of this to watch the White Rose video mentioned and linked below.

  Reading

Please spend some time reading either the school book you took home with you or a book you have been reading at home each day.  Please also remember to use our Oxford Owl website to access reading books online. Here you can access Read Write Inc and other story books at your level.

Spellings

Our spellings will be on our English Powerpoint each day. Please use your spelling whiteboard and roll and spell game to help you to learn them. We will complete our little spelling quiz each Friday.

Why not take your spelling work outside with you today? Can you use a paintbrush or your finger to write your spellings on the ground using water? Can you use leaves or twigs to create your spellings?

 

 

 Story

Please have a listen to our exciting story ‘WE ARE NOT FROGS’. You will find the audio at the end of our English PowerPoint. I will read a little bit of the story to you each day.  We are now on chapter 6 of 7! I wonder what will happen at the end of our story?

 

 Worship

We love completing our weekly ‘My Smiling Mind’ worship when we are in school. This is a time when we can meditate and think about ways to look after our mind. It is quick, free and easy to sign up. Why not have a go at home?

 PE – Please try to spend some time outside having a run around today. I have also attached a link to the 5-a-day fitness website. Swallows, you are going to LOVE the new dances! We love dancing along to these videos in school. Please let me know if you try a new dance in our class discussion today. Username: lost9261   Password: Ns9h0an6

 

 

Have a great day Swallows and don’t forget to let me know how you are getting on with your learning in our class discussion today. I would love it if lots of you popped on to say hello and let me know what you have been getting up to. Maybe you have a question you would like to ask one of your friends today?

 

Thank you for always working so hard.  

Lots of love from

Miss Gillam
