Owls Star of the Week 26.06.20
Date: 25th Jun 2020 @ 8:19pm
This week's star of the week is a little boy who I have been so impressed with over the past 13 weeks! He always works hard and completes all of the tasks set. I can feel his enthusiasm for learning through his blogs and he never fails to make me smile. The creative way he has been learning at home has been super and I know that he will have been making the most of being away from school and spending time with his little brother. Keep up the wonderful work Eli, I'm very proud!
Don't forget to head over to the school blog to see if you have been nominated for the Gold Book.

Good morning penguins!
We have had another great week this week in school and at home. You continue to really impress me with how hard you are trying to progress your learning. Just need to see a few more blogs from some of you at home.

Just like yesterday use what you have learnt this week to see what number the robot needs to hold to make the number in his tummy. You did really well at this yesterday.
Challenge: can you write what you have found as number sentences?
Literacy
Spellings Friday! Can you get your grownup to test you on your spellings and then choose at least 2 of them to write in sentences?
Challenge: Add an adjective or conjunction to make your sentence even better.
Daily reminders:

Have a great day!

Over the past two days in Bubble 7, we have been working hard to create our own rafts. We used a range of materials to ensure that our raft would float on water and we could save our little toy.
Well done to Amy, Lucy and Alfie who successfully saved their toy!

Over the past 2 weeks Bubble 7 have been working hard to write their own ‘I have a dream speech’ inspired by Martin Luther King. We discussed recent world events and the future world we would like to live in. I am so proud of the work created!

Good morning my little Pumpkins!
I hope you all had a fun Wednesday!
Mine was very special because I picked up my new puppy! He's called Benson and he's a cocker spaniel. A lot of you have heard me talk about how much I have wanted a dog so I was very excited to finally get him! He's settled in well so far - we're just trying to figure each other out right now!
I'll keep you all updated with how we get on and what adventures we get up to over the next few weeks.

What another busy week the children have had at home, I am so impressed.
We've had some super superhero mask submitted, I love them and am actually quite jealous. I will try and make one myself tomorrow after being inspired by these ones!
Chloe has been a busy bee again completing her work on Oak Academy!
Hope has also been really busy, here is her character description of the 'Evil Pea' from the sotry 'Supertato' and she also came first in the maths quiz on purple mash. What a super achievement!
And now the sun has decided to make an apperance again (yey!

Another busy week in Bubble 6, continuing from our experiment last week we decided to test which material was the most waterproof, using paper, card, tissue paper, ribbon, felt and cellophane. Some materials were much better than others, tissue paper got wet very quickly. We decided the clear winner was ribbon after a lot of testing.
As part of our PE session we have been looking at using directional language, the children had to have a socially distanced game of blind mans buff guiding each other to different spots. They did fantastic.
Along with all this we did a lesson on how important it was to listen to instructions, the children listened to my instructions once and had to follow them drawing different things on their sheet. After we talked about how important it is to listen to instructions the children completed a second sheet much more successfully, well done Bubble 6.
