Guten Morgen Goldfinches. Wie Gehts? 

I hope you had a lovely day yesterday.

In the Evans' house, we used the links on yesterday's blog to learn about the significance of VE day and started making some bunting. I have  attached some printable templates if you want to use them. 

My little team were also fantastic helpers at digging all the weeds that were growing out under our front garden fence and then helping me paint it! 

Another fantastic game review arrived in my inbox yesterday:

 Keep them coming! 

School jobs: 

English: This Oak National Academy lesson is based on the book and film 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them' which my family watched last week! Lola and I tried this lesson yesterday and thought it was good.

Times Tables: 7x table this week.  I have attached some ideas.

Reading: I have attached the latest Picture News resouces which would be great to help you with your VE day topic work this week. 

Maths: Have a go at one of the time sheets from your Home School Pack and play these games to help you and see how much you know.

Art: We had a very tired day last Thursday so had a go at some rainbow art. I made a 3D hand inside a heart

1.       2.          3.  

To make the 3D effect you just freehand draw lines upto your shape (my hand) then inside the shape draw the line with a curve (like a bridge) then go straight again when you reach the end of the shape. Colour in rainbow colours then outline with thin black pen. 

   Amelie made a heart with a flower inside   Lola combined our ideas for her flower in a hand. I wonder if any of you could use this idea to help you design a decoration for VE Day on Friday. You could use Red, White and Blue colours.

Have a go and Tweet/ e-mail admin or drop your ideas off in the sharing window box in the school entrance. I can't wait to see them!

Look after each other my lovely Goldfinches. Missing you lots,

Message from Mrs Powell:

Please watch this clip and think about what we talked about yesterday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHBhSmgwbuA&feature=youtu.be 

I love this story. Do you think Mr George likes cabbage now? Can you imagine how he felt? Victory in Europe (VE) Day marked the end of the Second World War in Europe in 1945. Friday 8th May 2015 was the official 70th anniversary of VE Day. VE Day is another day that many people will never forget as it marked the end of a terrible war in Europe, though there was still fighting in Japan until later that year. Mr George’s memorable day was one of great danger followed by relief at still being alive. This is one type of memorable day although hopefully no one present will experience such a day! My Gran Peggy used to tell me when she had her very first orange as you couldn’t get them during the war; she used to make lots of marmalade as oranges became her favourite fruit! Mr George’s story reminds us that we all have special days that will stay with us forever. We don’t know when they will come or what they will be.
