Home Learning Heroes! – Week 4
Take a look at what our home learning heroes have been up to this week:
A big thank you to the children who sent in photos of their completed focus number challenges, taken from the number 14 lesson video this week…
You are all superstars!
Have a fantastic, sunny weekend!
It’s Friday!
HELLO FOUNDATION!
It’s Friday again and another week of home learning is completed. Well done! I hope that you’re all remaining happy and healthy at home.
We hope you are enjoying the new home learning videos. You are all doing so well! We love reading the emails and seeing what you’ve been up to.

Miss Marsden is trying to do a lot more cooking during ‘lockdown’. She has bought two new cooking books. On Tuesday, she made a pasta dish. She definitely added too many chilli flakes – it was too spicy! On Wednesday, we had chicken fajitas – they were delicious! Here I am helping Miss Marsden with the cooking! Cooking is a great maths activity. Why not help your adult cook tea at home.
We made some wobbly strawberry jelly!
This week, Miss Marsden has been doing lots of exercise. She goes running every other day and does hula hooping sessions. They hula hooping sessions are great fun!
Tonight, we are having a movie night. Look at all of my popcorn!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
Pride and Presentation
It’s great to see pictures of the home learning you’re doing at home. Here is some Y6 maths learning Mya has been doing. I’m so impressed that Mya hasn’t let her standards slip with her pride and presentation- well done!

Story Time!
Hello Foundation! It’s Mrs Marsden again. Today I am going to read, ‘Room on the Broom’ written by Julia Donaldson. Can you think of any other Julia Donaldson books?
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin…
Here are a few questions and things to talk about after you’ve listened to the story.
- What made the witch wail and the cat spit?
- Why does the witch need more room on her broom?
- Why did the broom break?
- How did the witch feel when the dragon appeared?
- What objects did the animals through into the cauldron?
Did you enjoy listening to the story?
Activity
Design a new broom for the witch and the animals.
See you next Friday for another story!
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!

I’ve had some serious technology gremlins against me making this week’s maths video! Please excuse the outfit and location change part way through, as half of the original video was deleted. Still getting used to this new video-teaching life!
There is also a missing numicon example page from the video, so afterwards please share the numicon combinations below with your child (after they have had a go at the challenge themselves)
Please click here to view this week’s video.
Storytime: Pog by Lynn Lee
If you fancy listening to me reading the story of Pog, the little monster who was afraid of children, click on the link. It’s my first time at videoing me reading a book, so I hope it’s ok! We are all learning new things in lockdown!
