Lila has worked hard on Mrs  Hill’s challenge this week!

Well done Lila!

Good Morning Base 8!  We have seen your wonderful VE day video’s and they have really made us smile, your decorations look stupendous! I am sure you will  see and hear lots about VE day tomorrow on the TV and I know many of you are celebrating it at home.

I found this lovely poem online, written by a Year 6, have a go at reading it with your adults at home. I challenge you to count how many different sounds you can find in the poem and write them down, don’t forget to look for the tricky Phase 5 ones too! I have counted them so lets see if we match!

Share as usual via email, the blog or twitter. Or just have fun counting the sounds with your family. I am sure that you will spot more sounds than the adults in your house can because you are all phonics geniuses!

If you want an extra challenge, have a go at writing your own VE Day poem. Remember, this one was written by a Y6 and so it doesn’t need to be like this one.

Have a lovely day celebrating VE Day with your families!”

Daniel is very pleased to have completed the Year 2 Habitat Challenge this week.

Looks like a food chain there too!

Well done Daniel!

James has been very busy during lockdown and here are some of the things that he has been doing.

He has watched the Jack in the Beanstalk story & been planting his own magic beans! Also some carrots! He is watching what happens as they grow & hopefully James and his Mummy and Daddy might be able to eat the rewards!

He’s been using water play to recreate his favourite film Free Willy, printing dinosaur/ dragon footprints & experimenting with different tracks & mark making in paint.

He has also been visiting the lovely local horses & also practicing tricky words with fish & whales matching activity cards!

Well done James!

Last week, Fae had a go at Mrs. Hill’s challenge to make food chains and came up with:

soil – worm – bluetit – barn owl

Thank you for the challenges Mrs. Hill !

Martha has been doing some baking and she wanted to show everyone what she had done.

They look lovely Martha!

James from Reception has been watching the beans grow in the garden and is comparing with how they grow in a jar.  What a great Science experiment – well done James!

Preston had a very busy week last week.

He went outside looking for different insects, and went on some lovely walks. He had a fire one of the evening and toasted some marshmallows!

Whilst the sun was shining, he planted some seeds so that he can watch them grow whilst he is learning about Jack and the beanstalk with his Mummy and Daddy.  They have already grown lots and will be re planted into bigger pots soon.

Preston then spent some time learning all about the story of Goldilocks and the three bears, he then had a go at making 3 different sized chairs for each of the bears with his dad.

Well done Preston – you have been very busy!

Molly has written a lovely poem that she would like to share with everyone.

Well done Molly!
