Tuesday 1st November 2022

We hope you have all had a good half term. Here is a planning overview showing what topics we will be covering in all the subjects this term. Please take some time to discuss it with your child. Thank you.

Monday 19th September will be a National Bank Holiday for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. School will be closed.

The announcement of the Queen’s passing was a very sad day for us all. As a school community, we dedicated our Friday morning assembly to Queen Elizabeth II. We recognised the sadness that many people are feeling at the passing of the Queen but we also celebrated the life of a remarkable person. The Queen has been a constant in all our lives and it was lovely to take a moment to celebrate her amazing life of service.

Pictures to follow of our Teddy Bears Picnic on Friday 9th September. We also watched a video about a very famous bear.

A quick reminder about how Read Write Inc works can be found below.

Here is our class letter which will tell you about all the learning we will be doing this term.

6.9.22

In class today we worked together to come up with ideas for making Rosen Class 'Ready, Respectful, Safe'. Everyone agreed with these words. Please take some time to talk to these rules with your child.

Rosen Class Agreement

   We will:

• Try our best
• Stay in the classroom during learning
• Be kind to each other
• Walk when we are inside
• Use our hands and words kindly
• Share equipment sensibly
• Help each other
• Respect each other’s space
• Follow the listening rules
• Use the play equipment at playtime instead of playing in the bushes and climbing trees
• Tell an adult if we have a problem
• Try our best to make good choices
• Look after our classroom
• Wash our hands before eating, after using the toilet and when they are dirty
• Put our rubbish in the bin or recycling box
• Look after our friends if they are hurt

We will be adding our class letter later this week which will let you know all the exciting things we have planned this term. In the meantime please can everyone bring in a teddy or some sort of (not enormous!) cuddly toy on Friday 9th Septemeber. Thank you!

Welcome back! We are really looking forward to starting our new Summer term in class. We hope you had a lovely Easter break and were able to catch up with much missed friends and family in some way.

As in previous terms, please come into school in your Forest School kit (old shoes and clothes and a waterproof coat) and bring your uniform in to change into afterwards on Tuesdays and wear your PE kit to school on Fridays. Thankyou.

Return to school for all children -

               Monday 8th March - YAHOO!!!

We will add information here about anything you need to know about that day. Also watch out for news in the Blue Beacon. If you have any class specific questions or information we need to know about your child or just any worries please email us on 

   learningathome.034@educ.somerset.gov.uk

and we will try and help.

We would like children to bring back their orange books and their maths workbooks (red and green) in the first instance please. We will need to quarantine them for a few days to stay covid safe. We are excited to see all the work everyone has been doing whilst at home.

The first few days will be all about settling back in and reminders about how school works. The children will also have Forest School as normal on Tuesday (9th) morning. We will be spending time focussing on wellbeing throughout the first week (and beyond!). 

We still need to be careful about transmission and will be reiterating this message at all times in our Year 2 bubble.

We are really looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Wednesday 3rd March

Google Meet at 2.15pm see you there!

Friday 22nd May

Good morning everyone! How are you?

Today's activities are as follows:-

Maths

Please finish the White Rose Activities for the week. The worksheets are attached under Monday's post. Friday's White Rose activity is a family challenge! There are lots of problems to solve, the most suitable for year 2, being questions 1 to 3. Looks like fun and there are certificates to download too!

There is also some new MyMaths set which revises 10x table and using coins.

English - Writing

We hope you have enjoyed creating your space creature and writing some extended noun phrases to go with it. 

Today we are going to be writing a description of our character, using our picture and noun phrases. A description gives the reader information about your creature. It might answer some of these questions:-

What does it look like?

What does it feel like?

What does it eat?

How does it move?

Where does it live?

What special features does it have?

Your description will be full of statements. These are sentences that give information.

Let's use Mrs Jenkins' picture from Wednesday to have a go at the first few sentences of a description.

The Igglepop is a strange creature from the planet Pop. It has a dome shaped head with three scary, lazer eyes. Two purple, jelly arms wave from its green, spotty body. It has four extendable legs with suction pads for moving about. The Igglepop likes to eat .....

Did you spot the extended noun phrases and how commas have been used when listing the adjectives?

Good luck with writing your Space Creature description. Do continue to send in your work. We love to see your photos and know that you are o.k.

Geography

Today is the last of the mapping activities and it's a creative challenge!

Can you create a map with a key of the place where your space creature lives?

Remember that the key is a set of symbols that represents a place on the map. Here is my idea for Pop, where Igglepop lives! 

Have fun creating your map!

Thank you for all your hard work and effort with home learning. We are sure that it has its challenges and some days are better than others. We do not expect you to complete all the tasks, but hope that you will enjoy some of them and that they are helpful in your child's learning journey. As ever please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of more help.

Next week is the half-term holiday, so there will not be any new work until Monday 1st June.

Hope that you all have a lovely half-term!

Today, look at the maps below:

What do you notice about the parts of the buildings and the trees you can see? 

Just the tops! 

Have a think about your house and garden, or house and road where you live.  Do you think you could draw an aerial map of it?  Remember to use a key. 

Look at my example to give you an idea:

Tuesday 19th May 

Since we have been able to go out more this week, my family and I have been to Shapwick Nature Reserve, which is near where we live. We were so LUCKY because we saw a family of swans with 8 cygnets. Check out the video on Bishops Hull TV.

Monday 18th May

Good morning everybody. Hope you had a lovely weekend? Here are our learning activities for today.

English - Reading Comprehension

Continuing with our space theme, please find below a SATs style Reading Paper. Read the text on each page before answering the questions. Feel free to talk through the answers or record them on paper.

I hope you enjoyed reading about the funny space creatures? Later in the week we will be writing a description of our own imaginary character from outer space!

Maths

Please continue with the White Rose Maths lessons for week 5 lesson 1. This is a revision lesson about multiplication. There are suggestions for further learning through BBC Bitesize.

The worksheets for the week are attached below.

Quest - Geography

Today we are going to be thinking about the use of symbols and keys with maps.

Click on the map to find out more.

Notice how the key explains what each symbol means. It helps us to understand the map.

Today we would like you to have a go at creating a simple map for the village of Bishop's Hull!

Firstly, you will need to create a key, with symbols for the following places:

- School

- Church

- Village Stores

- Butchers

- War Memorial

- Playing Field

Now have a look at the aerial map below to see if you can spot these places. This image was taken from Google Earth, so you might like to take a look through the street view.

Now we would like you to have a go at drawing your map with symbols for the above listed places. You may like to add some other places too. I think I would start by drawing the main road first!

I've attached the picture below if you would like to print it.

Happy mapping!

Saturday 16th May

Hello everyone!

I thought you might like a story for the weekend?  This is a story called 'The word collector' read by Barack and Michelle Obama. Maybe you could collect different groups of words when you next read a story and base your collections on different themes? 

Barack Obama was the President of the USA for 8 years from 2009. If you like their story reading then search online for more stories, read by Michelle - The gruffalo, The very hungry caterpillar, There's a dragon in your book and Miss Maple's seeds.

Friday 15th May

Over the next two weeks we are going to be thinking about geographical features and mapping. 

Today we would like you to become familiar with a number of human and physical features that are on the word mats below.

Can you locate any of these features in your locality? Perhaps you could go on a short walk with an adult around your neighbourhood and tick off any of the features you see? If you are unable to get out, then maybe you could talk about the features you remember in your locality or have a look at your home area on Google Earth.

You could also find out about some of these features on Journey to the Coast - Espresso.

Happy learning!

PE

Mrs Fielding has asked us to share details of the SASP #May Challenge.

The idea of the challenge is to get people playing fun simple games at home as a family every day throughout May. 

 

I know that I have put out a lot of resources lately but I really would like to share this challenge as far wide across Somerset as possible. We are looking for families to interact with us and share videos/images of them playing the games and using the hashtag #MayChallenge - I will be giving it a go myself!

 

The calendar is attached to this email, feel free to share with ALL your family groups, partners and other EYFS settings (or schools of which you have links to them too) share within your own families too?

 

If you didn't know SASP socials are on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram (just search SASP Somerset), you can interact with personal accounts or professional ones, there are no rules to this challenge, give it a go and see if you can tick all 31 days!! Our website also has lots of ideas that you can share out as well - https://www.sasp.co.uk/home-family-activities 

 

Who knows what May has in store for us but let's keep supporting each other. 😊

Friday 1st May .......... Pinch, punch, first of the month!!! Good morning everyone!

Here are our activities for today:-

English

Today we are going to write a fact-file about Planet Earth and the Solar System. A fact-file is a sheet with information and interesting facts. So, firstly you will need to collect some useful information about the planets. You can do this by re-reading the book we read on Monday. Click on the book to take you to the Oxford Owl site.

You might like to do some of your own research as well.

Next, have a look at the attached fact-file below which will give you an idea of how you can set out your fact-file. 

Now you are ready to create your own! You will be writing statements about the planets. These are sentences that give information. Make sure your sentences begin with capital letters and end with full stops. Good luck!
