You’re amazing!

Goodbye Australia!

We have reached the end of the Spring Term and so the end of our topic on Australia. I hope you have enjoyed learning about this country.

To finish off the topic my sister, Gemma, who lives in New South Wales, has sent you some information about everyday life there. When she sent us the box of goodies for our cake sake, she also sent you some pencils, which I’ll give to you when we return to school.  If you want to ask Gemma anything about living in Australia, let me know and I’ll pass your question on to her.

Another mistake!!

Apologies, there’s (another!!) mistake in today’s answers for yesterday’s questions…

Here’s the correct answers for the blue problems of the day:

1.8kg was the mass of a sphere and not the mass of a cube – I really should make sure I read the question properly!

Anyway – as promised – this is me in my 80s themed outfit joining in with Joe and everyone else this morning!

Reflection Time and Prayer of the Day

Good News: The Resurrection

Yesterday we thought about the Easter Story, when Jesus was crucified on the cross to save us all.  This day is now known as Good Friday?  What a strange name!  What was good about it?  Can you think of anything?

Today we are looking at Easter Sunday, which was when Jesus’ was resurrected.  Watch and listen to this short story by clicking on the picture:

Easter is a time of mixed feelings: sadness, confusion and loss, but also happiness, hope and joy. For Christians, Easter is a joyful time and reminds us that sadness does not last for ever.  So as we break up for our Easter break, away from each other, let’s have a moment to reflect and think to the future, the joy of being back together.

Easter is also a time of new starts, and so is Spring; so to put a smile on your face, what better way than sharing one of my favourite Spring songs – please join in!

SPRING CHICKEN

Prayer for the Day

Loving God,
Thank you that when awful things happen
sadness does not last for ever.
Thank you for the surprise beginnings
that today will hold in store.
Amen.

Happy Friday everyone!

Well done for all your hard work over the last 2 weeks. I have really enjoyed seeing all the amazing things you have been up to.

After today, we have 2 weeks off for Easter. I hope you all have a lovely Easter break. Fingers crossed we have some nice weather and can all be out in the garden.

Daily learning will be back on the Class 1 news page, Monday 20th April.

Take care and look after each other!

Mrs Rollings has suggested a scavenger hunt. She has asked you to find:

1) A feather

2) A skeleton of a leaf from last year

3) A leaf emerging from a bud.

4) Something unusual or pretty (must be natural.)

5) Can you see a mini beast that has been in hibernation or has hatched out in Spring (for example: a bumblebee, a ladybird or a butterfly.)

Have fun and please share your photos. I am sure Mrs Rollings would like to see what you have found.

Year 1 spellings:

Ask your mum or dad to test you on your weekly spelling list. (Remember it is a test so they can’t help you.) Let me know how you get on!

Good Morning Brown Clee!

What a strange way to end the Spring Term – no Well Done Assembly, House Point Presentation or Easter Celebrations! But every day is a new day and takes us a day closer to being back together – whenever that may be!  So for the first time ever I’d like to present a virtual Well Done Certificate to the entire school community for being absolute superstars in working together, communicating together to ensure the school partnership carried on!

The teachers will be setting the last day’s activities for the term – so please enjoy!  We are so thrilled with the response from children and parent in carrying out the activities that the teachers are posting.  We appreciate the challenges, such as having children in different year groups, having working parents or other commitments, but every single thing that you have done has been brilliant – thank you and well done!

I’d like to wish everyone a restful Easter; it will be different as we will all be at home with family rather than heading away for holidays or day-trips.  But living in the beautiful Shropshire countryside is a definite bonus – so I look forwards to hearing all about the fab things you get up to when we get back together, in whatever format that will be on April 20th.

I’m about to go and get myself ready for Fancy Dress Friday with Joe Wicks – see you there!

Yesterday’s answers

Here are the answers from yesterday’s questions:

EBM

 

Problems of the day

 

Bar Models

 

Challenge of the day

If you were just to count the small squares, then you should have got 64. However, there are not just small squares. Here’s a pictures showing a 1×1 square, a 3×3 square and a 2×2 square:

When we start exploring these different sized squares, there are 49 2×2 squares, 36 3×3 squares, 25 4×4 squares, 16 5×5 squares, 9 6×6 squares, 4 7×7 squares and 1 8×8 square.

Therefore, there are 64 + 49 + 36 + 25 + 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 (or 204) squares on a chessboard.

 

Does anyone notice something interesting about all of these numbers?

 

Here’s a video showing all these possible different squares you can find:

 

Sentence / Fragment / Run-on

1.) Sentence
2.) Sentence
3.) Sentence
4.) Sentence
5.) Sentence
6.) Sentence
7.) Sentence
8.) Sentence
9.) Sentence
10.) Sentence

Illustrations – DrawWithRob

I’ve already had some fantastic illustrations already – based on the DrawWithRob draw-along videos.

Here’s Ellowyne’s Gregosaurus:

 

Maisie has already done a Greg and a Kevin:

 

Alex has even drawn her whole family as stegosauruses:

Rob Biddulph does a draw-along every Tuesday and Thursday.

Here’s his website if you want to do any of other (or any of his future ones)

PE with Joe Wicks: Fancy Dress Friday!

For those of you who have been exercising with Joe Wicks – let’s see if we can get as many as possible joining in tomorrow morning, and remember it is in fancy dress! Don’t forget to send photos of you in your outfits doing the exercise to your class teachers (and what tough work it is – my legs are still aching!)
