Eager Elephants

Here is some more work for you to try out at home.
Have fun and do a little each day.  
I have planted some sunflower seeds and they are beginning to grow.
I am going to measure them each week to see how they grow.
I will take some photos and put them on the website. 
 If we were at school we would have been having a competition to see who could grow the tallest sunflower. 
 Perhaps you could ask your grown ups to buy some sunflower seeds and see how tall your sunflower grows each  week. It will be fun to have photos of them for the website .
Maybe you could ask for some help to make a small booklet with the date each week and how tall the sunflowers have grown and draw a picture of how many leaves the plant has. 

Have fun with the activities this week.

Hello Elephant Class

 We hope you have been enjoying the lovely weather and have been playing outside.

Alfie.B sent over a great story he was reading and I really wanted to share it with you all. Unfortunately the file was too large and I couldn’t upload it. I hope he will read it to you when we get back to school. 

Isla has been on Purple Mash and has completed some lovely work. Well done Isla. Can we share this with Elephant Class when we go back to school please?
There is some school work on the website for you to try out next week. If you get a chance to take some photos please send them to the school and I will put them on the website.

I have been busy in the garden and walking my dogs around my field. There are a lot of buttercups in the field. I attempted to shear the dogs as they were getting too hot tthey now are a lot cooler in this weather.
I Have taken some photos of the dogs playing in the buttercup field. Can you see the pathway we have made walking around the field? There is also a photo of my tortoise and hedgehog who are becoming very good friends and enjoying spending some time in the garden.

We are missing you all and hoping you are all keeping well.

Hi Elephant Class

It was so good phoning your homes this week and finding out what you have all been doing.

Emily sent me a lovely photo of her  writing and making what looked liked Jelly. It made me very hungry.

Please try some of the activities with your adults and enjoy.

It is now May and I know some of you have had a birthday which we have missed as we are not in school. 

We hope you had a lovely time celebrating with your family.

missing you all.

Tractor Visit!

We were so excited to have a visit from farmer Ryan with his tractor!  We learnt all about what his tractor is used for and got to ask him questions.  We were so surprised at how big the tractor wheels were!  This was a lovely way to start our learning about transport.

We wrote letters to farmer Ryan to thank him for bringing his tractor in and have had a go at using pastels to draw our own tractors. 

We've enjoyed using the puppets to retell the story. 

"I'm terrified of the wolf!" (Erin, acting out the role of The Jolly Postman). 

We wanted to have a go at writing our own message to The Jolly Postman. Lots of us wrote questions for him, which we had a go at asking during 'hot seating', which really helped us with our speaking and listening! 

We were excited about posting our messages and questions to The Jolly Postman, so Mrs Howlett found us a very big envelope and we stuck a stamp on, wrote his address and then two of us took it down to the office and asked Mrs Symons to post it for us! I wonder if it will reach the Jolly Postman?!
