Happy Half Term
Hello everyone
We made it to Half Term
Well done for all of your hard work this half term
It's time to relax and recharge your batteries, get the games and paints out, put your walking shoes on, curl up with a good book, and take time to find the emerging daffodils in the park. Have fun this half term.
Well done for this half term.
Enjoy the break
Stay Safe
Mrs Laughlin
1st - 7th February
Children's Mental Health Week
The theme of Children's Mental Health Week this year is 'Express Yourself'. The aim is to encourage children to express themselves in a variety of ways. For example, expressing yourself can be about sharing your feelings, thoughts and ideas through creativity. Children could express how they feel through a piece of artwork or writing, or they could express it through a performance such as dance or drama.
An important part of this theme is that expressing yourself doesn't mean that you're the best at something. It's all about finding a way to show other people who you are and how you feel. It's about showing how you see the world and finding a way to 'express yourself' which feels good to you. Expressing yourself in a way that's unique to you is a great way to improve mental wellbeing
We will be talking about Mental Health and doing some activities around wellbeing this week.

Message to parents 8.1.21
Dear Parents,
Firstly let me say thank you for all your hard work this week with helping the children get back into a home-schooling routine. They have been working really hard and I can see from their interaction on Purple Mash and by you emailing me that they are getting on well and have enjoyed the activities set both on the class page and via Purple Mash.
For Monday and Tuesday next week I have set some work on Purple Mash for the children to complete. As always they can access BBC Bitesize and Oak National academy for some extra bits. You can also access Phonics Play free of charge for some phonics games.
As before, the children are able to contact me on Purple Mash and you have the class email address which you are able to use to contact me should you have any questions. I will be in school on a Wednesday. On this days please be mindful that responses may be less than other days.
Have a great weekend and thank you again for your continued support,
Mrs Laughlin

Home learning WB 6th January
Firstly I want to wish you a Happy New Year! I would have loved to have been doing this in person but we must keep each other safe. Below is the home learning for the next few days. I will also be setting some home learning using purple mash for this week. The children should all have their log in details in their reading records but should you need them again please send me an email on Silverpiccadilly@connectedlearningmat.co.uk
I will be available Mon-Tues and Thurs-Fri. I shall be in School on Wednesday's so will be unable to respond to emails on this day.
Reading: Year 2 children can still access Renaissance reading and complete quizzes on the books they have read, these do not have to be their current school books as they can access a whole library of quizzes for a variety of books that they might read.
Year 1 & 2 children you can sign up for free for Oxford Owl reading library (link) to access their extensive library.
Maths: Number and Place Value
Watch the Numberblock episodes linked below to give you some ideas on your activity
I would like you to create your own number booklet for numbers 1-20 (1-50 for Year 2) challenge: Year 1 up to 50 Year 2 up to 100
For each number you need to write the number as a digit- make sure that they are the correct way round, write the number as a word, create an + and - number sentence and draw this number- be as creative as you can
E.G
3
three
4-1=3
1+1+1=3
14
Fourteen
20-6=14
7+7=14
1 4
English
We have recently moved into a new year. We are now in 2021. At the start of each new year lots of people make New Years Resolutions. These are promises that people will try and follow throughout the coming year. They might be things like:
I would like you to think of a New Year’s resolution you can make. You could cut out a star shape and write your resolution and promise on this. Think of 2 New Year promises you could make. Something that you will try and do at home and something you will try and do at school.
Phonics
Play this game and then practise copying out each word.
Ext: use a word from each column in a sentence
Reading
Find your favourite book or poem and share this with someone in your household.
Create a book review for someone in our class about your chosen book/poem
You need to tell them:
Why it is your favourite book
What is it about
Who is your favourite character and why
Why do you think they should read it
Draw a picture of your favourite character or part of the story/poem
Art:
In class we follow the 4R’s of learning:
Resourcefulness
Resilience
Reflectiveness
And
Reciprocity
Reciprocity means: two people or groups of people give each other help and advantages
In class this means helping each other and guide each other to improve our learning, At the beginning of the school year we chose an Octopus to represent this learning behaviour for our class. I would like you to think about how an Octopus might help the other animals within the ocean. They clean the coral for other fish and make it a cleaner environment.
Create a picture showing an octopus and some other sea creatures within the ocean. Make it as colourful as you can.

Update 18.10.20
The last half term has gone really quickly. The children have settled in really well and are becoming more independent in their learning and how they come into school each day. As we approach the Half Term break, I hope you all have a safe half term and I thought you might like to see some of the learning we have done over the past few weeks.
We have recently built toy cars using plastic water bottles and bottle lids. The children had great fun building the cars and then testing them out in the playground.
We have also been carrying out some science experiments. We placed 5 eggs into different liquids to see what affect they would have on the shells. We were looking to find out the affect different liquids would have on our teeth. We were very surprised that the vinegar made the egg grow and becoming bouncy and squishy. We then wondered if the colour of the fizzy drink would affect the egg so we have set another experiment to find this out.
Have a safe Half Term Break
Mrs Laughlin

A quick reading update from me:
We have had a few questions regarding reading, quizzes and levels.
The children have all been assessed on Renaissance Reading and the Phonics screening check. We have then given them a reading points range that matches these assessments and the children will choose a book within this range.
Due to the fact that we cannot use reading diaries at the moment we are doing our best to change reading books when needed. The children complete a short comprehension quiz based on their book. We endeavour to quiz and change books when needed. There maybe some days when this might not be possible.
Some books will have both a reading colour and a points range. E.G Yellow and 1.6 We are basing their book choices on the points range not the colour.
When the children have completed the book with you at home they can log onto the link below and complete the comprehension quiz (Accelerated Reader) we can then access this and change their book. If you would like the children's log in details to complete this please let us know.
Thank you for your continued support.
Here is the web link to access the website:
https://ukhosted59.renlearn.co.uk/1896806/
Children need to log in and click on the Accelerated reader button (its orange), they then type in the quiz number (inside the book cover) and once they have searched for the book they click 'take quiz'.
Thank you for your continued support
