I bet there were lots of ice-creams, playing in the paddling pool and picnicking in your gardens! 🍦🏊🌞 Before I add today's activities, here is a note for Mum's and Dad's: Please be aware that this term you will notice that the activities posted on the class blogs will be a little different from what you have been used to previously, for example, they may not always include an English and Maths lesson. This is for several reasons, i) there will be a focus on Well Being for the children (in and out of school) as we move through the Covid-19 journey; ii) normally during the summer term we have a range of curriculum focus weeks; iii) to ensure consistency for groups both attending school, or remaining at home. This approach will enable teaching staff to manage providing the planning for both groups in a workable manner. This week, the school will foc

Hi Red Class, I know many of you will be wondering what school will be like on Monday, so I have made you some videos showing you the classroom and talking through each part of the day.  They are in small sections so you can talk about each part at the end if needed (I was hoping to make it into one video, as you will hear, but there were technilcal issues! Sorry 😅 ). Introduction Arriving at school Numbers in Classrooms Classrooms Tigers Classroom School Day Timetable School Rules Toilets End of the Day Thank you for watching! Mrs Prescott

*Edited - 8.40am Weds 13th* Hello Red Class 🐅 Yesterday we started looking at one of my favourite stories, 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. I was bought this book when I was a baby and I loved it!

I wonder if I still have that version somewhere?🐛 Anyway, here are the activities today: Wednesday 13th May   (Apologises - two of the links were incorrect. These have now been fixed) And as a little treat , here is something for you to enjoy at the end of your 'school day'! 😃 Mrs Prescott

Hi Red Class Parents, As we continue in lockdown, children can find it hard to understand why we are still doing it and how to deal with it, just as adults can. Here are a few stories that have been created to help children through this time: The Story of the Oyster and the Butterfly Coronavirus: A Book for Children The Book of Hopes Use these when, and if, you need them and if you find any other good resources, please let me know through the schools Admin account with the subject title 'FAO Mrs Prescott - Convid support' Many thanks, Mrs Prescott

  Hi Red Class 🌞 I have been busy catching up on your photos and videos from last week and it gave me an idea; wouldn't it be lovely for you all to see these! Well, with permission, I have put a few on here for you to enjoy! Jackson enjoying his school work in the garden: Flora enjoying the Supertato work: It seems that you all really enjoyed those activities! This is a photo of Ned, Benjamin, George, Ellie, Isla and Henry, who all had a 'Show and Tell' Zoom session; what a fabulous idea to keep in contact with your friends.  If anyone else has any photos or videos of ways they are keeping in contact with school friends during lockdown, please email them to the school Admin account with a sentence giving permission for them to be used on the blog.  I would also love some of the children working too; again, email them to the Admin account with giving your permission for use on the blog.  I hope that cheered you up as much as it does me w
