Today we’re celebrating the launch of our new school topic all around growth. Join in with Mr. Cross at home, as he teaches you how to create two unique pieces of art. Don’t forget to share your learning with your class teacher on Seesaw, Tapestry or Google Classroom.
Matthew Cross
Story time: Miss Wright reads ‘Oi Dog.’
I hope everybody has enjoyed their first week of home learning. Here is a story for you to listen to over the weekend. See you next week!
Counting to 10 and beyond!
Join Miss Compton counting her magic seeds. How many do you think she has? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UICZs5YWHq4
See if you can count some seeds or your toys at home. Can you write down how many you have?
Bean Diary: Week 1
As part of our learning over the next few weeks, we will be making a ‘bean diary’ where we will record how the plant has changed each week. If you had a go at planting runner beans at home, you are welcome to draw your own plant in your bean diary!
You will need paper, a pencil and some coloured pencils.
Have a look at the picture of the runner bean. What does it look like? Can you draw the bean in ‘week 1’ of your bean diary?
Charlie challenge: can you think of a word to describe the bean? Have a go at writing the initial sound next to your picture (for example, ‘s’ for small).
Please upload a picture of your runner bean diary to Tapestry and come back next week for an update on Miss Wright’s runner bean plant!
Mr King Reads Flat Stanley
Listen to Mr. King as he reads one of his favourite stories Flat Stanley. It’s a the simple tale of Stanley Lambchop, an ordinary boy who has the misfortune to be squashed flat by a cork notice board.
Plant a magic bean with Miss Wright
Hello everybody!
Our new words for this week are ‘grow’ and ‘planting.’ I had a go at planting my own bean like Jasper the cat! This means that I have put the bean in some soil so that it can grow. Can you have a go at planting your own bean?
You will need:
– runner bean seeds
– a small plant pot
– soil
– a garden tool for scooping (a tablespoon or cup also work fine!)
Make sure you keep your pot in a sunny spot and water the bean every day. This will help it to grow!
Don’t worry if you can’t plant your own bean at home, as I will be posting a picture of my bean plant every week.
Happy planting!
From Miss Wright 🙂
Make a beanstalk with Miss Wright!
Would you like to make the beanstalk from the story ‘Jasper’s Beanstalk’?
All you will need is play dough, clay or plasticine! Follow the link to have a go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y__agyULsrI&list=PL4eYibLKDXpL5AUZo2z2AN5N7GOwqwbf2&index=5
