Week 7 Summer 2
Hello Brilliant Bonsais, I hope you're all still ok and having fun learning from home!
Some children have returned back to school this week. We are now in PODs and my pod has Mrs Fowler, Mrs Gadsby and Miss Batchford in it. At the moment we only have Brilliant Bonsais but things might change soon. We have been learning the same things as you this week, but we did write you some letters! The children were really excited to share them with you so click on the 'daily message' star to have a look! There is also a picture to show you what our POD looks like and all the other PODs in school look like this as well :) It's a little bit different to what school was like before but we're still having lots of fun!
Speak soon,
Miss Newman :)

Our Home Learning Journey
Watch Your Friends Read!
Teachers have been busy reading books for you whilst you have been at home, so we thought it was your turn! Have a look at some of your friend's brilliant reading below, and email your teacher your reading if you are feeling brave enough.
Bedtime Stories
During our little break from learning at school Mrs Rowe and I will be regularly uploading YouTube videos to our class page. These will be of our favourite stories for you to enjoy! Remember to join in if you know the words.

BRILLIANT BONSAIS LEARNING IN SCHOOL
Purrrfect Pets!
This half term we are learning all about purrrfect pets. We are learning to write postcards, letters and diary entries using 'There's no cats in this book', 'Paddington Post' and 'Can I be your dog?' as our reading hooks. We have an exciting visitor to stay at school for a week and we can't wait to show you who it is!
A Visit From White Post Farm
Maths
In maths we will be learning how to solve word problems using all the skills we have learnt throughout Year 1 so far. We are beginning to learn how to divide and multiply, using these skills to understand fractions. We are going to practice our fluency skills to help us defeat our maths superheroes.
Fluency
We are continuing to use our baking trays to learn all of the fluency facts we need to do know by the end of Year 1!
English and Phonics
This half term we will be focusing on non-fiction texts to write postcards, letters and diary entries all about our purrrfect pets. Alongside tricky words all children should now have phonics bug books which they can read at home. These are in sets and are linked with the sounds that your child is learning to read in class.
Arfy the dog sent us a letter asking us if we will let him come and stay in our school.
We asked Ms Sheppard and she said YES! So now we are writing back to him to tell him the good news.
Describing Sheldon The Tortoise
Remember to read as much as you can (3x minimum) every week to earn a sticker on your RED TED. We love reading at Glade Hill and this term we are focusing on the children becoming independent readers. We will begin using the library during our ICT slot so that the children have a wide range of books to choose from, but don't forget that you can read a book from home as well!
How to Catch a Star
For World Book Day 2020 the children were invited into school in their pyjamas for our 'bedtime stories' theme. We focused the day around the book 'How to Catch a Star' by Oliver Jeffers. The children sequenced the story and then created ideas around how to help the boy catch a star. The children used their imaginations and created a fantastic story board! We love reading in the Brilliant Bonsais so the day was enjoyed very much by everyone.
World Book Day 2020!
