Another busy week for our Reception pupils. Alva has been doing some perfect writing and even had a go at writing on her blackboard. Ellenie has been busy writing sentences too. Georgina made some brilliant bunting and lots of tasty treats to celebrate VE day on Friday. Stellan has been a scientist this week and has been looking at different different materials and discussing if they are solid, liquid or gas. He has also been observing caterpillars and their journey through their change into butterflies. He also has a duck and her seven ducklings living in his garden and has been looking after them and feeding them from his own hand! Taliah has been working really hard for the whole period of isolation. She is working on her number of the day in this picture. She also has a new chicken called Burt. William built his own Lego crocodile this week. He followed the instructions by himself and built it perfectly. Harriet has been busy with phonics and Literacy. This picture was from a lovely video of her singing the alphabet song.
Thank you for your brilliant Tapestry entries.

Hi Everyone,
I am uploading phonics tonight. We are looking at common exception words in greater detail and thinking more about making our own sentences and writing those.
Maths has a focus on capacity and measurement this week. I will begin uploading these tomorrow. If you want to do the activities during the video then lesson 1 will require 2 jugs that will hold different amounts and then 2 teapots (or something different to jugs) that hold different amounts and water. For the stretch task after the video, you will need 3 cups, 3 teddies and a teapot.
The second lesson uses bottles of different capacity, a cup,labels, water and a funnel.
The third lesson uses rice, card to make you own cone, sellotape, a jug and a cup
The fourth lesson requires chalk, toy cars, a metre ruler or tape measure
You could just watch me do it on the video but it will be good for the children to have their own measuring to do either during or after the video as this will be a good opportunity to hear them talk about the activity and record any good quotes from their exploration.
I have recorded 4 phonics and 4 maths again so that you have a day to revisit anything that you think they might not have understood or could do with going over again. This will also give you time for music, science, DT and Literacy.
I hope that the science document that I sent you opened up ok as it was a big document. I haven’t set any new science as I don’t think that anyone has had time to do the music themed experiment that I set last week. The document and pages you need to look at are attached and referenced in last Sundays email.
I hope you have had a chance to look at the second Literacy lesson on information texts and that you have had a chance to start your own non-fiction information book on the topic of ‘people that help us’. I put a link onto the YouTube video for some good places to research your topic beforehand.
I hope everyone is doing well and feeling fine. There is now hope that we may all be together again before the end of the academic year and I look forward to this immensely.
Keep being excellent at Tapestry!

Good Afternoon,
I hope that you were able to enjoy VE Day celebrations and make the most of the Bank Holiday.
I have attached the home learning grid for this week as well as a project set by Miss Coe as she would have been teaching the class during the summer term. There is not an expectation for you to complete all the activities from both grids. Pick the activities that capture the children’s interest. Ideally your children are completing some Maths, English and Reading each day as well as one other curriculum task. It’s great for me to receive pictures of the completed learning as I can add them to the scrap book that I am collating of the children’s achievements during this lockdown period.
All these resources will also be available on the website and if you have any queries or concerns don’t hesitate to get in touch – hos@sandringhamwestnewton.norfolk.sch.uk.
As it is important for me to hear from everyone at least once a week to check in, I will be making calls to anyone I haven’t heard from this week when I am in school tomorrow.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
With Kind Regards,
Mrs King

Good morning
I hope this email finds you all well and that you enjoyed VE Day and the bank holiday weekend. Thank you to everyone who sent work in, what a talented lot you are! From bakers, to a radio announcer, a pop star in the making and artists working in all sorts of mediums, you have really kept yourselves busy this week. I have to mention all the great writing and maths work that has been going on too. Well done.
So we find ourselves at the beginning of another week of home learning. I’ve attached the home learning menu for the week and resources for some of the activities. Just a reminder that you can pick and choose when you would like to complete the activities. If the children have an interest towards something I’ve included this week, then they can research, carry out work around that topic. For example, the Battle of Marathon may interest some, others may enjoy the virtual tour of Frida Kahlo’s house and want to write, draw and investigate that. Everyone’s situation is different and I leave it to you to use the home learning menu as a guide.
I hope you all have a great week and keep sending in the photos.
Please email if you have any questions.
Best wishes,
Mrs Brice
