Home Learning

Dear Parents and Carers,

During these uncertain times, as a school, we have considered ways to keep learning progressing whilst at home.

Attached is a guide for parents to access their child’s learning via Virtual School. Please note that the procedures for Years 1 and 2 differ from Year 3.

Years 1 and 2-Key Stage One Home Learning Guide

Year 3- Key Stage 2 Virtual School Guide for parents (1)

 

Thank you for your understanding, patience, prayers and help during this difficult time.

Kind regards,

Miss Luetchford

A busy week!

I imagine your children have had a week they won’t forget in a hurry. Some of you have kindly expressed your thanks for the trip down to New Barn. Can I say how much I enjoyed taking the class down there – we had a blast! Have a great weekend.

To bring you up to speed on what we have been doing recently in year 3, we have been measuring in mm, cm and m. If you suddenly find your little ones taking a keen interest in the square footage of your house, this may be why.

We also did a little bit of Roman soldier training: marching, standing in formations (spot the tortoise) and close combat! What a talented lot they are!

Performers

Year 3 are quite the performing lot (as I’m sure you’re all aware.) They sang brilliantly at the New Wimbledon Theatre this morning alongside year 4. Perhaps a year 3 and 4 production is in the making. Suggestions on a postcard (or in a comment on the blog!)

When we got back to class, there were more performances of note. As it is storytelling week, the children have made shadow puppets and were performing exerts of Fantastic Mr Fox in science. An excellent day!

Are you persuaded yet?

The children have been learning the art of persuasion for the past fortnight. Be aware that they may be trying their luck at persuading their parents to do all sorts of things for them now. They have been defending Mr Fox and his questionable actions (stealing) on the basis that what the horrible farmers do is far worse (attempted murder)

Don’t be alarmed by all the chalk outlines in the playground! In science we have seen that the size of shadows changes depending on how close the light source is to an object. We also saw that shadows take the shape of the object that blocks the light (hence the silly poses).
