‘Pick n Mix’ Topic Homework

We have given the children ‘Pick n Mix’ Topic homework. We would like the children to complete at least 3 items from the list given, during each half term. We love seeing any topic work that the children have completed at home and encourage them to bring these in for show and tell.

I miss you all so much!!!!!

Home Learning

Dear Parents,

Welcome back, I hope you had a lovely half term. As always, I will be uploading each week a home learning grid with activities for all curriculum areas. I will also be uploading English and Maths home learning work to accompany the online Maths and English pre recorded videos and their spellings are also attached under the home learning section. Please do remember to do a spelling test on Friday and practice these in joined up handwriting.

This term our new topic is Beachcombers. We will be learning about the different sights, sounds and smells of the seashore and finding out about the living and non living things that live there. We will learn about a wide range of coastal plants and creatures and We’ll read a range of seaside stories and use the coast as a setting for our writing. Maps and film footage will help us to find out more about the coast and we’ll create a wide variety of artwork. We’ll use books and the internet to search for information about the seashore and use our knowledge to write our own non-fiction books. At the end of the project, we’ll decide how we should look after the coastal environment and how the beach can be kept clean! Thank you for all your hard work- I upload all your lovely work to the website as it so fantastic, so please remember to send me at least two pieces each week.
