W/C 20 April 2020: Teddy Diary
Hello Foundation! We hope you all had a fabulous Easter at home with your family.
Teddy Diary
Hello Foundation,
My name is Maddie and I belong to Miss Marsden.
I am very cuddly and friendly teddy bear. I love going on adventures and helping Miss Marsden around the house. We have been keeping each other occupied over the Easter holidays. Here are a few pictures of what I’ve been up to.
I love to help Miss Marsden cook. I used the wooden spoon to stir the vegetables for the stew. It was delicious!
Miss Marsden and I did some mindfulness colouring. This activity helped us relax our minds. It also was improving our fine motor skills!
Here I am sat in Miss Marsden’s window. Lots of children spotted me when they were doing a bear hunt on their daily exercise. I saw lots of smiles and made sure I gave all the children a wave.
It has been lovely and sunny the past two weeks.
Miss Marsden and I have had lots of fun in the garden. Here I am helping Miss Marsden plant some flowers. Every night, Miss Marsden waters the flowers. They need lots of water and sunshine to help them grow!
Each day, I have been helping Miss Marsden put the washing out. Here I am sat inside the wash basket haha!
We’ve had lots of sunshine over the Easter holidays! Before I sat outside, I remembered to put on my sun cream. Do you like my sunglasses?
We used some of our chocolate Easter eggs to make Rice Krispie buns. First, we melted the chocolate. Then, we mixed the Rice Krispies so they were covered in chocolate. Finally, we decorated them with some ice-cream sweets. Of course, we had to try one!
Your Turn!
Choose a teddy to create your own diary. Simply draw, write and take photographs about the adventures you’ve had and add them to your diary. This can be done on a daily basis or every other day.
Please don’t forget to send us photographs of your diary so we can see what you’ve been up to with your teddy.
Miss Marsden will post more photographs on the website of her diary.

Hi children,

Maddie enjoyed her first Easter egg hunt and has definitely got her love of chocolate from me.
Whilst you’re enjoying your break, why not have a go at this little quiz? Can you work out the titles of the 20 famous children’s books? I’ll post the answers tomorrow.
Enjoy!
Mrs Rowley
Happy Easter!
So, how are the Easter holidays going? How are you getting on with the Easter challenge activities? What were you up to last week? What will you be doing this week? Helping with the cooking? Practising a sport? Completing a jigsaw ? I’m trying to do the Joe Wicks workouts every day. Mrs Rowley is getting better at piano. Send us some pictures of all the fun things that you are doing – we love seeing what you’re up to! Here are some we’ve already received.
Hi children
How are you finding the Easter holidays? Have you completed any of the Easter home learning? The den building looks fab – I can’t wait till Maddie is older and we can build lots of dens!
We’ve spent lots of time in the garden playing in her sandpit, reading books, colouring in our picnic blanket and even playing in her water tray in the lovely sunshine!
We have loved receiving your emails about all the things you are doing at home – both learning and fun things! Have a look at Evie making pizzas and Ellie kickboxing with her dad. Please do keep sending us emails – its fab to see what you’ve been up to and you might even appear here on the website!
( [email protected] / [email protected] )
We hope you have a lovely Easter weekend.
Love
Mrs Rowley
Ambition
Mya has written her own poem all about ambition. It was a home learning task this week and it was a writing challenge set by Leeds United! If you didn’t get chance, then you can take another look at what the challenge involves here.
Have you learnt something n
Happy Friday – you’ve made it to the end of another week of home learning.
How have you found it? What have you found the hardest and which has been your favourite part?
We’ve loved receiving emails from your grownups and seeing all the things you’ve been doing.
Before we finished a few weeks ago, Miss Beatson gave the staff the challenge to learn something new. A long time ago, I started to learn the piano but I definitely haven’t practised in a long, long time!
So my challenge to myself is to learn to play the piano better – this was day one of me practising and this is day two – hopefully getting better! Now, it didn’t just take two videos to improve… there were lots of videos and lots of practise in between…
Don’t forget to email us with the things you have been doing and learning – we love receiving them.
