March 2021 - Return to School, by Mrs Harris
Date: 12th Mar 2021 @ 12:25pm
A very warm ‘Welcome Back to School.’ It has been so lovely to see all the children and families return to school after months in lockdown.
The children settled in well and were happy to see their friends and teachers. We are looking forward to supporting our children for the remainder of the academic year and enabling each pupil to reach their full potential.
We need to ensure we are all still following government guidelines and I would like to remind parents that masks must be worn on school premises at all times. If you are exempt, please indicate this to staff.
We have heard children sharing news that they have been to each other’s houses for tea and to play. Please can I remind parents that this is not yet allowed and households are not permitted to mix. We really need to work together to ensure we are still preventing the risk of infection across the community so that we can have a safe lifting and easing of restrictions. I know we are all looking forward to a summer when we can all see our families and friends again and enjoy life as it was before Covid-19!!!
We are really looking forward to being able to share events in school as rules are relaxed and guidance allows us to widen our activities.
I have attached an overview of the key dates and easing of restrictions so I hope this is helpful.
If you have any concerns or queries, please contact the school office.
Take care and keep safe.

What foods should we eat every day and what foods should we only eat sometimes?
What kinds of foods do you eat?
Can you use the worksheet on School Spider to help create a healthy lunch for Eddy and Ronnie (our class bears). Can you draw the food and label it?

Play What am I game,

the video above can be watched and children will be able to answer the questions as it plays.
3. can they draw a family of their favourite animal, thinking about what the baby is called, what they eat, what they may produce and any facts they ma know.
Parents do the same and show your child your animal family, telling them the facts you have found out about your animal.

Literacy
Warm up
Joe Wicks
1.
Encourage your child to recap on alliteration, thinking about some of the animals that started with the same sound from yesterday’s activities.
Can they draw some animals that start with the same sound and write the correct initial sound? If they can’t do this by themselves they could write over your writing or dots etc.
2.
Think about an animal that they like, can they look on google to find out some facts about their favourite animal.
Once you have read out the facts to your child can they draw their favourite animal, write their initial sound and then talk about their characteristics and facts they have learnt.
e.g. where do they live?
What do they eat?
What is their young called?
3.
If you have some animals make a farm/zoo or a mixture of both, this could be with cuddly toys, plastic animals etc.
Play with your child pretending to be a farmer/zoo keeper. Feed the animals, put them to bed, take them for a walk etc. If you have a pet at home maybe your child could help to feed it or groom it?
