Thank you :)

We just wanted to say a big thank you to all the children’s families who have emailed us the work they have been doing at home. It is so lovely to see how you are all getting on with your work but also to see your smiling faces and hear how you are.

A special well done to Szabina who has shown us lots of the work she has been doing at home!

Take care everyone 🙂

Spelling shed!

The whole school standings are the same with Mrs Branford’s set in 1st place, Mrs McEvoy’s set in 3rd and Mrs Holt’s set in 4th but it is very close so all to play for!

Mason and Olly B you have all climbed several places over the last few days and a special mention to Georgia R, Harvey B and Sarah Louise who are all new additions to the top 10!

Keep up your hard work children 🙂

Week beginning 4th May – maths activities

This week is going to be all about 3d shape.

I will list some activities but if you have your own ideas then go for it and remember we would love to see emails from you with all the fab work you have been doing! Thank you so much to all the children and parents who have emailed so far, it is so lovely to hear from you.

Ideas for 3d shape

Could you go on a 3d shape hunt around your local area on your daily walks?

Could you make some of your own 3d shapes out of things you can find around the house? For example you could use cocktail sticks and marshmallows to make a 3d shape.

Could you find examples of 3d shapes around your house and either draw or take photographs of them?

Once you have done any of these activities, remember to think about the name of the shape and the number of faces, edges and vertices.

Twinkl resources for 3d shape

I have also found a variety of Twinkl activities you can do if you wish to.

Here are some colour by 3d shape, there is an easier version with the shapes on (perhaps you could label the properties) and a harder one with descriptions of the shape.

Colour by 3D Shapes – Higher Ability

Colour by 3D Shapes – Middle Ability

Below are some nets for you to make a variety of your own 3d shapes. Beware some are quite tricky.

T2-M-387-Cube-Net-3d-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

T2-M-2093-Pentagonal-Prism-3d-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

T2-M-2094-Hexagonal-Prism-3d-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

T2-M-2095-Octagonal-Prism-3d-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

T2-M-2099-Triangular-Prism-3D-shape-net-Activity-Sheet

T2-M-2101-Heptagonal-Prism-3D-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

T-N-707-Tetrahedron-3D-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

T-N-708-Octahedron-3D-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

T-N-709-Icosahedron-3D-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

T-N-2242-Cylinder-3D-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

t-n-2243-Cuboid-3D-Shape-Net-Activity-Sheet

Also here is something a bit more tricky for those of you who like a challenge! There is a PPT for you to work through first then an activity sheet and there are also answers to check you’re right at the end!

Answers – Reasoning About 3D Shapes (2)

Horizontal Activity Sheets – Reasoning About 3D Shapes (2)

Presentation – Reasoning About 3D Shapes (2)

Sorry for the long post everybody but I hope there is something for everyone here!

Good luck and don’t forget, email if you need us!

Set 3!

Hi everyone,

Some of you may find the spellings in this section a little tricky. If you normally work with Mrs Owen or are in Mrs Lloyd’s letters and sounds group, you may find this resource to practise your letters and sounds helpful.

Below is a link to a website which contains daily phonics lessons based on letters and sounds (the scheme we follow for phonics).

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP_FbjYUP_UtldV2K_-niWw/featured

I would suggest that level 3 lessons would be most appropriate but if these are too tricky, try the previous level.

New lessons are uploaded at 11.30am each weekday.

Have fun with phonics!
