Tuesday is usually our PE day in school so why not try and independently put on your PE kit and join in with the dinosaur yoga on Cosmic Kids! Don’t forget to stretch first. Whilst you’re stretching have a conversation about the effects of exercise on your bodies. What do you notice as you exercise? What happens to your heart beat, the colour of your  cheeks, the temperature of your bodies?

Message from Mrs Smith:

Good morning everybody! I am sitting in a very quiet school and missing you all desperately so I thought it would be a great idea, until we are all back together again, to run our Monday morning assemblies through the blogs for now and to invite our Foundation children to join us for the first time this year! I will send you a message every Monday morning, share the theme for the week, you can then share your creations and thoughts with me directly and we will then celebrate these ideas together on the blogs on a Friday afternoon – just like we do in our Celebration Assembly in Years 1-4. Please remind your grown-ups that they have an email to help them to support you with your assembly job each week.

So, for this week I wanted to share with you a story that was in the news a few days ago about a project that school children across the country are now taking part in.

While you are reading it with your grown-up, I wanted to share a quote that we often use in our assemblies …

I thought this would be an ideal project for us all to join in with and that your task this week could be to make a rainbow that can be seen from your home along with a message to make your neighbours smile.

Along with pictures of your rainbows this week I would also love to hear of any good news stories that you have found. We can now see ‘interdependence’ so clearly all around us and your grown-up can help you to understand this if this is a new word for you.

I can’t wait to see your photos and to hear your stories (your grown-up will help you to share these with me). It will be almost as good as the smiles and chats we share on the gate! I will reply to any messages that come in and I will share all the highlights in our celebration on Friday.

Take care Team Damers 🙂

This Weekend

Dear Skipper F,

We are missing you all lots. After only 2 days without you we feel lost. It’s been so lovely to keep up with what you’re up to on EExAT. Please keep the pictures coming and don’t forget you can comment here on the blog. Now it’s the weekend take some time to rest and relax with your families and don’t worry about the learning packs until Monday. School doesn’t feel the same without you all and we think about you often.

Much Love, Mrs Bracey and Mrs Holt

Home learning

We’ve loved seeing all of your home learning coming into school. As we move forward with not being at school please try as many of the learning activities in your home learning pack. Check here on the blog everyday from Monday to Friday for more learning support, ideas, games and links. All the ideas on the blog will support the learning in the home learning packs as well as help with reading, phonics and maths. Thank you for all of your support and keep us updated with your child’s learning by using EExAT and commenting on the blog.

Dinosaur detectives

We wrote about what we thought had happened in our classroom when we came into a big mess after half term. The children’s ideas were creative, funny and so imaginative! They’re a pleasure to read. If you’d like to read your child’s story, please ask in the mornings to see it. They would love to sit with you and read it to you.

Number pairs to 10

We’ve been practising our number pairs to 10. We each got given a number card between 0 and 10 and had to dance around the room to music. When the music stopped we had to find our partner. The only rule was that both numbers had to equal 10.
