Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is well. As the children are self-isolating and will be absent from school on Monday 2nd, Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th of November, I have set some tasks to complete at home which link to the work Mrs Hopkins’ class will be doing.
Our topic this term is Dinosaurs with a focus on the text ‘Stone Girl Bone Girl’, which is about Mary Anning, the Palaeontologist.
Linked to our topic, I have set phonics, reading, writing, maths, science and spelling tasks which are explained below.
You will also find some supporting materials to help with the learning. Along with the activities, please share books with your children so that they can engage in reading for pleasure. You can sign up to www.oxfordowl.co.uk to access some age-appropriate books. Remember, there are activities to complete on Numbots too.
If you have any questions please send me a message via Class Dojo. Please feel free to send photos of tasks or activities completed at home via Class Dojo.
Stay safe,
Miss Rutherford
