Dear doves !
Just to see if you’re awake- Who can spot my 10 mistakes? You are usually really good at this :)
Hope you have had a good week and written some things down in your diary. Did you do any Easter activities? If not, you still have next week. I know it is really strange at the moment, just hope you’ve got enough paper left as I know what you’re all like with your “Can I have a piece of paper?” (or 20!!!)
i’m writing to wish you happy holidays – seems strange because no one will be going anywhere!! Perhaps you can look on Google Maps and find places you’ve been to or places you’d like to Go.
I’m not leaving you anything that you have to do but if you want a lovely story to listen to remember my favourites, and I think lots of yours now as well – Jackie Morris (Tell me a dragon, something about a bear, can you see little bear) Oh and don’t forget- A porcupine called Fluffy by Helen Lester? If you want a funny song the singing walrus has lots that we have done- on youtube.
After the holidays we r trying to set up a way you can get in touch with us- can’t wait :) Miss bassett will be taking over from me as you know after Easter but I will still be sending you messages. Thank you all for being a very memorable 30th, last class that I will teach. You are so creative, fun, knowledgeable and kind. I have the big card you all made for me up in my study to remind me of you everyday- so lovely.
Take care, be safe and keep smiling?
Lots of lov

Dear Parents and Carers,
Hope you are all well and coping OK with the activities I set out for you. After Easter we are trying to set up a way so that you can contact us and the children can send us messages etc. Will let you know about that when it’s sorted.
This day is officially my last day as your child’s teacher so I’d like to thank you for all your support this year, and for some last year as well. Teaching has been a big part of my life over many year and I will miss the amazing feeling of guiding those little people through such a fun, exciting 2 years of their lives. I won’t be too far away though!! Miss Bassett will be sending you messages and sending work after Easter. She has met all of your children and spent a few days in the classroom already. I will be supporting her over the next few weeks as she settles in.
Take care and Happy Easter
From
J Bell
PS- Hope I haven’t made too many mistakes in your letter!!

.Dear Doves,
Hope you are all well and that you enjoyed being out in the sun last week. It was really strange being in school last week without all of you, so quiet :)
I know I left you quite a long list of jobs to do, I’m not expecting you to have got through everything yet. If you haven’t started one yet it would be lovely to write a diary- just like our news books. Draw a picture and write down a couple of things you have been doing each day. They will be great to share when we get back together again. I know I used to have to do that when I was your age. I still have them- I’ll show them to you sometime (remind me!!), however your writing is so much better than mine so be kind to me. :)
I have updated Spelling shed and TT Rockstars for you, sorry I had forgotten to do it for you before!! I have put a few spelling patterns on so remember to look for the words in your books. This week we would have been doing lots of Easter activities-
Try and get some of the following skills practised, you can do them in the Easter activities- remember you need to practise, practise, practise to get better, better, better.
Bye for now
Mrs Bell
PS- I tried to put in some pictures but they didn't copy across!! I'd put on a rainbow and an Easter egg :)
Dear Doves Parents,
Hope last week wasn’t too overwhelming, it was difficult to know how much to give you in such a rushed time. Just a few updates-
I hope this gives you enough to be getting on with but with enough flexibility.
Take care and keep safe.

- watching the Easter story video from the Beginners Bible series
- thinking about forgiveness
- a to z of Easter
- making Easter cards (lots of ideas on Pinterest if your parents use that or Google images)
- decorating a hard boiled egg
- writing an Easter acrostic poem
- sketching some Spring flowers by looking at them very carefully first
Try and get some of the following skills practised, you can do them in the Easter activities- remember you need to practise, practise, practise to get better, better, better.
- Letter formation and handwriting practise- look in your handbooks that your parents have
- Ace adders and mega multiplier number facts
- Cutting carefully, slowly and neatly!!
- Reading to yourself or a teddy

Dear Doves Parents,
Hope last week wasn’t too overwhelming, it was difficult to know how much to give you in such a rushed time. Just a few updates-
- White rose maths hub is where I get all my maths ideas and planning. They are doing some videos and worksheets at the moment. Take a look as they may help you. For the Y2’s it is going over fractions but recapping will be good for them.
- If they haven’t already it would be good for them to start to write a diary where they could write down what they have been doing, and then add pictures. This can then be a more independent activity for some.
- Easter focus of activities- if you are not on Pinterest it is a brilliant place to get lots of creative ideas. Free to join and it’s not just educational for the children!! Again I get lots of inspiration their myself
- Use Google earth to locate Israel (Easter story) and UK, plus virtually explore the world
- Lots of free Kindle books for children now
- Elevenses with David Walliams- at 11 am every day, just Google world of David Walliams
I hope this gives you enough to be getting on with but with enough flexibility.
Take care and keep safe.

Book week 2020
This week we had a theme of Pirate poems and stories. We looked at the painting of Blackbeard and created acrostic poems using it. During the week we have heard and shared lots of pirate stories and poems. For our special assembly on Friday we learnt and performed about pirates for the rest of the school. We also made lots of pirate accessories to help us perform like a pirate- medallions, parrots, bandanas, hats, telescopes, treasure maps and treasure boxes. On the Friday we all dressed up as our favourite book character.

Sorry for the lack of photos- camera problems!! We have been investigating how to use watercolour paints-trying to create cold and hot colours, mixing colours. Then creating weather paintings on special water colour paper. (photos to follow when display is up) To finish off our weather topic we prepared and then presented weather reports to include our favourite weather and seasons.

This weeks highlight was designing, making and flying our kites. We had great fun, made mess and used lots of perseverance while making them. We found that we needed more tape than we thought we'd need to hold it together!!

We had a week of thinking about rainy Spring weather. Listening to Vivaldi's four seasons and imagining what we thought the music was describing. We also looked carefully at Renoir's painting of umbrellas painting our own bright version. |

This week we were looking at Winter time and the weather associated with it. We watched The Snowman and carried out some ice experiments on insulating. On Friday we planted some crocus bulbs so that we can watch them growing. |

Our first day back in the new year was greeted with an array of Epiphany crowns. They looked amazing being made from recycled bits and pieces from Christmas. The Year 1's were straight into making equal groups using glass beads. Our topic is Whatever the weather so this week we were learning about Seasons. So we created 3D seasons trees. A big thank you to Friends for our Christmas money. We bought 3 new wooden thinking toys whiuch we are really enjoying already. |

Christmas 2019
Lots happening leading up to Christmas. A fabulous Nativity play after lots of practise; a Christmas experience following Bible stories presented by Valley Kids; Beautifully reflective Advent Collective Worships; Christingle making and service ( no photos as was too intent on keeping an eye on all the flames!!); party and film morning. We had such a lovely time altogether. |
Our finished Tudor houses. Great team work everyone.
22/11/19
We continued learning about the Great Fire of London this week. On Friday we turned cereal boxes inside out so that we could paint them and create 1666 houses. There was alot of team work and cooperation going on- well done Doves. They were then painted white and left to dry for next week. The week before we had Children in Need day- with lots of spots and a visit from the Fire Service to discuss fire safety at home.

Our first week back was started with sharing stories about our holiday and firework parties. We created poems describing the fireworks we saw. At the end of the week we reflected on Remembrance Day through reading the story Where the poppies now grow. This is a story about two friends Ray and Ben who go to war and Ray gets injured and rescued by Ben. Everyone enjoyed it and we then read the next book in the series called Peace Lily which is about a friend of Ben and Ray who becomes a nurse in the war. On Friday we created a field of chalk poppies so we could leave a few at the memorial on Monday.

We had a fun end to the end of half term despite all the coughs and colds we had!! Our science investigation using gummy bears wowed everyone. We put a gummy bear in water and predicted what might happen. It did start to bubble, it's colour did fade and it got really big, from 1 1/2 cm to 5 cm. Try it at home using different liquids and then come and tell us what happened.
Making the most of the lovely weather we went out onto the field and collected Autumn leaves and created Autumn sculptures. We also designed and created trucks for our teddies and ate our teddy biscuit we made with Mrs Cokayne.

We looked at Can't you sleep Little Bear this week. We heard the story, watched the video, created stick puppets, retold the story, performed scenes from the story, created speech bubbles for the characters as well as having fun!! On Friday we watched a brilliant film from WWF on penguins and polar bears. Following that we have a very good discussion on climate change and helping each other to understand things better by sharing our ideas. Using the main messages we created posters to spread the message.

We started the week with everyone bringing in their teddies in so that we could create fact files on them. While they were in school we made them some accessories- wrist bands, rucksacks, hats etc. For part of our science topic on growth we harvested some seeds form poppies and parsnip seed heads. We have also been painting and making play dough teddies. |

We have had a great first week back starting our topic- Bears Tales. Everyone came back to school full of stories and excitement about the holidays. The first book we read was Can you find Little bear by James Mayhew and Jackie Morris- enjoying the wonderful illustrations by playing eye spy with them. We have also been exploring all the toys and games that we have in the classroom.
