A few pics for you….
Hi all!
Here’s some excellent cooking skills being shown off. They’re an Indian sweet dish called Jalebis. Don’t they look tasty?!
I wonder if anyone can guess the member of our class being very acrobatic in front of their apple tree?!

Welcome Back!
Hello everybody,
I hope you’ve all managed to get back into the current ‘norm’ this week after what I hope was a lovely Easter holiday for you all.
Just a quick note from me – I’m sorry the images for the home learning tasks weren’t showing properly/at all and I hope that it didn’t cause too much inconvenience. Thank you for letting me know, too.
I know it may still feel strange having to do your learning from home – it does for me! Despite this, remember that we are all in this together and you are all doing a superb job at getting on with it and generally being awesome!
I miss seeing you all and I hope to see you very soon.
Here are some pictures of learning that has already taken place this term – it looks fab!
please send any pictures/videos or just general updates of learning to oliwain@spherefederation.org
What beautiful presentation, too!
21 April 2020: Home learning
Good morning! I hope you are enjoying the lovely weather.
Here are today’s home learning activities.
In addition to these activities, there are lots of good lessons and ideas on BBC Bitesize.
The lessons begin from Year 1 but some of the games and ideas look to be suitable for younger children. They are even showing Numberblocks!

Phonics
Practise your letter formation in your home learning book.
Remember all the letters start on the line with a lead-in!
Words to write:
chip food queen ship
Please read the words to your child. They can then write them in their home learning book.
Phonics activity:
Can you write a sentence including one of the above words?
Remember that at this stage we are looking for children’s phonetic attempts at words. It is important your child grows into an independent learner. Encouraging your child to write the words as they sound rather than always spelling correctly is important. It encourages the children to use their own skills – rather than copy from an adult.
Literacy
Book of the week: The smartest giant in town

Solve the number problems.
- I have 5 fish fingers and I eat one. How many do I have left?
- There are 10 children in the park. One child goes home. How many children are left in the park?
