Amazing Year 1 Learning!
Hello everyone!
I’ve had a really good week setting you tasks and seeing some of your learning. Here are a few pictures of them…
A quick update
Hello, Year 2. Hope you’ve had a good week back to learning. Thank you to Mr Wilks who has been keeping you busy with your home learning while Mrs Freeman and I are back at school working with the children who have started to return.
We miss you all lots and please do keep sending emails so we can see what you’ve been doing.
It’s been another busy week with Lexia learning and we wanted to share that a few more children have reached their next level.
Well done to Saif, Kian and Evie. Great work!
If any families need help with accessing Lexia while you are at home, please do contact us (carolinetaylor@spherefederation.org and jackiefreeman@spherefederation.org).
Have a happy and healthy weekend, everyone.

Amazing artwork
Today, the children in school learnt all about Amelia Mary Earhart. She was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. 
After lots of discussion about Amelia’s heroic adventures, we had a go at drawing some pictures of her in an aircraft.
