School update

Dear Parents/Carers,

I understand that you must have so many questions and indeed worries about the news that the Prime Minister announced this week concerning schools. This is a very useful document to read and I hope you find it informative.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/closure-of-educational-settings-information-for-parents-and-carers/reopening-schools-and-other-educational-settings-from-1-june

We are currently working very hard on our plan around re opening and hope to share that with you very shortly. If you have children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 or Year 6 then please do fill in the form that was sent out this morning to give us an indication as to whether you plan to send your child/children into school or not following half term.

Kind regards

Miss Cook

Facial Expressions Activity

Gabriel enjoyed taking part in our facial expression activity yesterday. Can you guess his expressions?

Tuesday’s phonics challenge

Today’s challenge is also an ICT one but this requires no other resources.  The aim of the game is to spell out simple words to keep the viking happy.  Press on the wave to see if your child has spelt them correctly.  Each time you only have to change one letter to make the new word, this helps your child look really carefully at the letters in words.  Eventually you end up back at the word given at the beginning and your child shouts “full circle!”.  Happy spelling!

Update from Miss Cook

Dear Parents/Carers,

 As you will have no doubt heard, yesterday the Prime Minister outlined guidelines that schools MAY return on a phased opening from June 1st starting with Reception, Year 1 and Year 6.  At this moment we are waiting for further guidelines from the Government and the local authority.  We will of course update you with more information as it becomes clearer to us.

 Thank you for your continued patience during this difficult time.

 Kind regards

Enjoy!

Wonderful observations

Keep them coming because we love looking. You have all again done an amazing job. We’ve all had a nice week it’s clear to see, more milestones have been achieved. Your hand writing and reading is coming along nicely. Enjoying maths in so many different ways from activity sheets to playing games. Lots of you have been exploring our wonderful country side but more importantly respecting it and talking about the wild life and insects that you find.

We all had a big day to celebrate the 75th anniversary of VE Day and the weather was fab too for the garden party’s, dancing, painting your own t-shirts, dressing up, tea and cakes. 🇬🇧

Nursery Activities Monday 11th May

Good morning nursery,

We hope you all had a fabulous weekend and enjoyed celebrating VE Day. Please send in your photos, we would love to see them.

As today is Monday, we are starting a new theme. This week’s theme will focus on ‘Citizenship’. Nursery will adapt this to include personal, social and emotional development and health and self care. The first activity this morning is to help grown ups lay the table safely!

VE Day Junk Modelling Challenge

As it is VE Day tomorrow, you may like to take part in a JUNK MODELLING CHALLENGE that has been launched by the museum at RAF Cosford. The challenge is to build your very own aircraft, using whatever you can find around your home! In school, pupils from Nursery to Year 6 love junk modelling so I am sure many children would love to have a go at this at home – it would even be a nice project for siblings, or whole families, to work on together! 🛫🛫

The competition deadline is Thursday 14th May. To enter your aircraft, all you need to do is post a photo of your creation in the comments on the competition post, which can be found at ‘The Royal Air Force Museum, Cosford‘ Facebook page. Alternatively, you can share your photo using the tag ‘@rafmuseum‘ on Facebook.

Good Luck!! ☘
