Use the timetables below to access this week's learning whilst at home. In addition to these activities there are website addresses on the Home Learning page of the school website which will give you more activities and learning experiences if you wish.

My Maths and Spelling Shed activities are also set weekly as homework so please continue to complete these. We will check these sites regularly to monitor progress.

 Maths and reading activities have been added to Purple Mash for those who would like to complete them.

If you have been given access to Lexia please also continue to complete the weekly activities.

In addition to these you can join us for story time at 2.30pm using the Zoom link below. You will enter a waiting room and will need to make sure that your zoom account uses a child's name to gain access.

Jacob's mum has found a way for you to see Stephenson's Rocket for yourself. Although we are now moving onto the geography element of our topic, I am sure that you will enjoy using the link below to visit the Science Museum and see the Rocket as if you were visiting the museum in person:

To find the Rocket: go to floor 0, turn around, head down through the first hall into the space hall then through into Making the Modern World.

 Worksheets Monday to Wednesday

 Dear Parents, I would like to set up some zoom meetings this week, in friendship groups, so the children can have a chance to talk to each other about what they are up to at home. If you could email me the names of 2 or 3 friends your child would like to meet, via zoom, then I will sort the children into groups and set up the links for this to happen.

Many thanks

Antonia Buckingham
