Hello Willow Class,

We hope you had a great holiday and we're sorry we can't see all of you in person.

Home learning for this week has been posted to Google Classroom. 

There is a video and help sheet on the school website

You should have login details in your planners but please let Sue and Pip know if you need any help.

Happy Holidays Willow Class 

Well done to ALL of you for all the fabulous work you’ve been doing at home!  We’ve loved seeing all the pictures you’ve sent in, talking to you on the phone and via Google Classroom.

There are three challenges posted on Google Classroom to keep you busy over the summer holidays: reading, maths and a set of fun & different things to try out.  There are prizes to win and we know you will try your best.

Even though our time together was cut short, we’ve really enjoyed getting to know you all and have some very fond memories including your amazing performances in the Nativity.   

You should all be very proud of everything you have achieved in this very strange year. We’ll miss you all but are sure you will really enjoy Year 3.

Mrs Carson, Mrs Cleasby and Mrs Beck 

Dear Willow Class parents and carers

There is a website called Epic which has online free access to books, some of which are on the Accelerated Reader Scheme. There are also some audio books and books that will read along to your child. We have set up our class children's names and we can currently use it for free throughout the Summer holiday. 

You will shortly receive an email from Epic. Please follow the instructions to log your child in. You may need to use this classroom code tjg5841. Please ensure you activate your login by 30th June as this is the deadline to ensure you have free access throughout the holidays.

Happy reading! J

Mrs Cleasby and Mrs Carson

Well done for all the amazing work you are doing at home.  We've loved seeing your emails of all the work and extra bits and pieces you've been doing.  Keep sending your pictures to the office! 

Please note that from this week there will be a separate link below to all the Maths worksheets for the week as they are no longer available from the main part of the website.

Here are some more ideas...

Reading

• Read lots of different fiction and non-fiction texts.  Choose a reading response activity to complete each time you read.
• You can set up a free account on Oxford Owl to access free e-books: https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/oxford-owl-ebook-collection
• You can listen to stories at: https://www.storynory.com/archives/stories-for-younger-children/ 
• For as long as schools are closed, Audible are offering free audio books: https://stories.audible.com/start-listen

Writing

• Choose one of the pictures and write a story or explanation text.
• Can you find and underline the features you have used:

Adjectives

Verbs

Nouns

Conjunctions (because, and, if, but, when, or, that)

Spellings and Grammar

• Can you learn and spell all the Year 1 and Year 2 Common exception words?

Maths

• Practise the KIRFs in your planner
• Choose a times table to practise – this could be 2x, 5x or 10x.  You could write them out or play TT Rockstars.
• Play Maths games from Willow class page.

• Choose two numbers from the above.  Can you add and subtract them? e.g. 6 + 7 =   7 – 6 =
• Repeat with four numbers to create two 2-digit numbers

e.g. 23 + 45 =            45 – 23 =

• Make a 2-digit number.  What is 10 more or 10 less?

Topic

• Many museums offer virtual tours - why not take a visit and see what you can find out.
• Spend some time being creative - draw, craft, Lego, bake
• Most importantly, look after yourselves!

We hope to see you all soon,

Mrs Carson and Mrs Cleasby
