A message for Class 1!

Hello lovely Class 1

Mrs Bowman and I are missing you all but hope you are having some lovely adventures at home with your family! Don’t forget to stay home and stay safe and before you know it we will all be back to normal again! Keep busy and keep reading (you know how we feel about how brilliant reading is) and after Easter you will be getting a new home learning grid and some other fun stuff to do too.

We will write more messages soon and keep in touch because we haven’t forgotten about you all and we miss you all very much!

Stay home and stay safe.

Lots of love

Mrs Johnston and Mrs Bowman

A message for Class 2!

Hello Everyone!

I hope you’ve been keeping safe and staying indoors!

I’m missing you all lots and think about you often.

Evie is keeping me busy and we have been doing a lot of home learning - PE with Joe, Read Write Inc on YouTube and the work sent from school - as well as lots of arts and crafts - I’m sure you all have too.

I go out for a big walk everyday with my dog Arlo - we go to the beach and look for sea glass.

I hope you all have a lovely Easter and that the Easter bunny is good to you all! I hear he’s allowed out to deliver goodies.

Missing you lots, lovely class 2

Mrs Ridley x

Hi everyone in Class 2, I hope you are all keeping safe!

You are all doing an amazing job staying home! I miss you all so much and can't wait until we are all back together.

Things I have been doing to keep busy; reading, baking, playing board games, washing the car and going for walks.

Keep smiling and try not to miss me too much!

Lots of love, Mrs Gibson xx

Lovely Class 2!

School has been very quiet without you all! I miss seeing your lovely faces and laughing at your terrible jokes!

I can't wait to see you all again. Stay safe!

Love from Mrs Scott xx

A message for Class 3!

Hi Class 3, how are you all? I hope you are well and still singing Happy Birthday when you wash your hands - you might have found a better song by now
I moved house so have lots to keep me busy - I'm having to wash up because I don't have a dishwasher anymore!!!
Mrs Laws got her son Luke home safe and well and she and her family are all ok. She is so kind, she brought me some food because I don't have a cooker in my new house.
It's Easter this weekend so I hope you have a wonderful time and that the Easter bunny can still come.
Stay strong, stay safe and
"Don't worry 'bout a thing 'cos every little thing is gonna be alright"!
Love you all and missing you lots. Make lots of rainbows for your window because they are a symbol of hope and for Christians a sign of God's promise of sunshine after the rain.
We'll meet again, lots of love Mrs Laws and Ms Herron xx

A message for Class 4!

Hello Class 4!

I hope you are all keeping safe!

I have missed you all when I've been working in school, it's just not the same without you all.

Alice is keeping me busy at home and I've been helping her with her really hard homework! Although I have enjoyed sitting painting rainbows with her and we have made lots of delicious cakes too (you all know how much I love cakes!)

I hope you are all taking part in some form of exercise every day. Poppy has enjoyed her walk but she prefers sunbathing in the garden!

I can't wait to here about your adventures and keep safe class 4.

Love to you all and a big hug,
Mrs Gould, Alice and Poppy xxx

We gave the money to ‘Books and Bread for Kenya’ who are a charity that takes books and other things like clothes and food to orphaned children in Kenya. We enjoy our reading more now that we know these children can enjoy story books too.

Class 3 : World Mental Health Day

We played ‘Towers, Robots and Jellyfish’. We learned how to breath – ‘Milkshake Breathing’. We had a ‘Pizza Massage’. We learned how to turn a RED (unhelpful) thought into a GREEN (helpful) thought.

We listened to music with our eyes closed and thought about somewhere that is special to us.

Class 2

In Class 2 we have been learning about where food comes from and how to prepare it. We harvested potatoes from our outdoor classroom, prepared them by washing and chopping them into wedges. We added some rosemary from our herb garden and baked them in the oven. Delicious!

Class 2

In Class 2 we connect with each other through play, both indoors and out. We share ideas and help each other. We develop positive relationships and make each other feel safe.

We toasted marshmallows on the fire-pit as part of our Golden Time. We talked about the Great Fire of London!

We have had a lovely start to our work about the 1969 Moon landings with a Space Station role-play, and the children are so enthusiastic about this topic that we are now learning about the Solar System too so our space theme is going to continue for another week or so! In preparation for our next topic of Castles, we have been on a trip to Durham Castle. It’s all go in Class1 – lots of fun and lots of learning!

class 3 have been learning about The Five Ways to Wellbeing:

• Connect – connecting with others

• Give – looking outward as well as inward

• Be active – doing something active

Connect with people around you. Spend time with your friends and family. Make new friends. Use different ways to communicate. We have been learning all about how we can CONNECT.
