Welcome to Chestnut Class!

Croeso i Ddosbarth Chestnut!

Monday 13th July 

Hello everyone!

It is quite an emotional week saying goodbye to our children, but we hope you have enjoyed coming back to school in our "bubbles."  We would also like to say a huge "GOODBYE!" to the children who have not been able to come back, but we will see you in September! heart

Keep looking at the foundation phase twitter, as we are posting lovely photos of our time down forest school this week!

If you are at home perhaps you could go out looking for twigs, leaves etc and make a picture from them, just like we will be doing this week!

Here is an owl that was created by Amanda this morning!

 

 

Take care, stay safe and have a lovely summer! laughheart🌈

Monday 6th July

Bore da everyone,

Mrs Greasley and I would like to thank you for a fantastic week! It was so lovely to see so many of you through the week. laugh heart You were all so sensible and listened and followed instructions to keep safe. 🌈

This week while you are at home, find some straws, little twigs etc and make 2D shapes with them - just like we are doing in school. smiley 🌈

Think of words that make you feel happy - smiley, calm, safe, fun etc. We will be doing this in school to add to our pictures.

Keep going on your Mathletics - who will be a superstar this week?

Have fun! laughheart

Hi everyone!

It was fantastic to have some children back in this morning, we have missed you so much and we are looking forward to the rest of the week! laugh heart

 

 

 

The children enjoyed using their new learning packs and have begun their journals!

 

I would like you to watch the You Tube story - While we can't hug,by Eion McLaughlin. I have set a 2Do on Purple Mash for you - My friend and I. Go to Tools - Abc 2publish (green pen) - I have found out. Draw a picture of you and a friend and write underneath what ways you can show you care for each other.

 

Super effort, Holly, Ted and Oliver, for your  Purple Mash work this week! laugh

Tomorrow I will be posting a video to you all!

Hello everyone, I hope you had a good week and I look forward to chatting to you again this week! There was some important news given to us last week - that schools are going to open back up. I would like you to listen to Mrs Watkins video on the family page and have a chat to your parents about any worries that you may have.

Some of you may be excited to come back and see some friends again, others may be nervous or anxious, this is ok. Your feelings might change from time to time and this is ok also!smiley 🌈

 

You may wish to put a picture and some of your thoughts on Purple Mash. You can use this as your jar to put your thoughts in. laugh heart

 

Go to Tools - 2Publish (green felt pen), scroll down to "He said, She said" and record your feelings here. You can draw a picture of yourself or click on the 4 small pictures at the top of the screen, (clipart). Clipart will give you lots of pictures you can choose from to make a character - become an animal, a character from a fairytale, a pirate etc. Remember to write your feelings in the speech bubble. heart

 

Lovely work on feelings so far this week from Evie B-B, Bobby, Ted, Freya, Holly, Kourtney and Mikale. xx

Hi Chestnut Class! I hope you had a good week. I listened to Mrs Watkins message about kindness and I am going to try to do something each day - this may be kind words to someone in my family or a kind gesture etc, draw a heart for yourself each time you do this, how many can you get? smiley

 

Thursday is Outdoor Learning Day, so this week I would like you to go for a walk if possible and collect some items to make your own miniature garden. I went for a walk on the weekend and collected lots of colourful and different items for my garden. I put these in a plastic container. Yours could look very different from my photo - it could have little stones in it, a pond in a jam jar lid etc. Have fun and be creative! If you can take a photo of it. laugh

If you are unable to go for a walk, then draw a garden on Purple Mash! Go to Art - 2 paint a picture.

Wow, I absolutely love the gardens you have created! Super work Ethan, Ted, Oliver, Bobby and Holly! heart

Mathletics superstars so far this week are - Ethan and William with a bronze certificate and Ted with a silver, fantastic work boys! smiley

If you have listened to Mrs Watkins' message, you will know that she would like you to draw a leaf and a butterfly with just a positive word or message in them of your thoughts of this time. These can be be photographed and uploaded to face book or twitter, or e mailed or sent to school. 

 

For our topic work this week, I would like you to think of your favourite sandwich - in France, as here, we eat baguettes. I would like you to create a baguette with some interesting fillings! You can use Purple Mash, the same programme as last week to record your pictures - Art - 2 create a story. I would like you to write instructions for someone to make your baguette. Begin your sentences with a time word and use bossy verbs  ie  Firstly collect all the ingredients needed to make the baguette. Have fun, I look forward to looking at your work!!

Hello! 

I hope you are all ok.

 

There are lots of movement and exercise videos on you tube at the moment - have a go, I will be doing it as well!!! smiley

 

I have put some work on Mathletics for you. Most of them are quickfire questions that you should be able to do. For some questions you may need to draw number lines to help you or use your fingers to count in 5's and 10's.

 

I would like you to choose a favourite book and write a book review:

Title of the book

Author/illustrator's name

Write who is your favourite character/creature and say why

What is your favourite part of the book and say why?

Do you think other children would like this book?

Draw a picture about the book to make a front cover!smiley

 

 

 

 

 

Our topic this term is "Let's grow!" we were intending to visit a garden centre to buy plants, soil and pots etc to take to a local residential home to add to their environment. Unfortunately, this will now be postponed until further notice. 

We have loved learning about how things grow and developing our 4 purposes. 

 

 

PE days - Tuesday and Friday

 

Home Learning

 

- bonds to 10 and 100 revision and doubling and halving revision - have a go at the questions below: - remember your doubling and halving diamonds!

double 34

half of 86

I had 100 marbles, I lost 30, how many are left?

Tom had 40 sweets, how many more does he need to make 100?

 

- write a daily diary of what you see, feel, hear and do whilst you are at home. Remember to add "wow" words  - adjectives and words instead of said.

 

- design your own garden aimed at cheering people in the community up. Think about what flowers you would grow and why. You can draw a labelled plan or make a collage. You can also produce this on the computer if you choose to. 

 

- please make sure that you take a photo of the usernames and passwords sent home for Mathletics and Purple Mash in case these get lost. Use these activities to further improve your learning.
