I can sing a rainbow…
We had a go at making our own rainbow art. The children finger painted rainbows and used coloured lollipop sticks to create temporary works of art.
A week at St James’
I am back in school so I also have some learning from school to share. I am still enjoying seeing what everyone is doing at home. Please keep sending me messages and photos.

Home learning: maths
I have enjoyed seeing the practical maths learning all about measuring height, length and capacity.
If you haven’t been in touch with me for a while, please send me a quick email to let me know what you’ve been up to.

Happy and healthy home learning
We pride ourselves on being a happy and healthy place to learn when we are at school. It is particularly important at this difficult time to keep fit.
Levi has been doing DVD workouts in the house.
Lucas has been playing basketball.
Why not set yourself a challenge today?
Get caught in a super book!
It was lovely to receive this video showing a child reading. By the end of key stage 1, children must be able to read at a rate of 90 words per minute. Reading for pleasure improves well-being, develops empathy and teaches children about the world around them. Please keep reading any chance you get!
Keep it coming…
I have had lots of photos and emails this week. Thank you! It was great to see some of you practically making halves of shapes, objects and amounts.
What’s growing?
Mr Atkins has been very busy planting some vegetables in our school allotment. Can you guess what he has planted?
There are peas, carrots, radishes, lettuces, beetroot, spring onions and potatoes! Thank you Mr Atkins for watering them and keeping them going until we are all back at school.

Happy Friday!
I am ending the week with a huge smile on my face thanks to the fantastic home learning that has been happening:
Ralph has completed some work for Beavers. He walked 2000 steps for his ‘Hike to the Moon’ badge by going up and down the stairs 72 times!
Jacob is beginning to join his letters in preparation for year two. Keep up the good work!
The maths learning has been all about money. Playing shops is a fun way to learn about this – great work, Lucas and Jacob!
