Please continue to read and remember your spellodrome lists will be reset each Monday during the Easter break!

Although the schools have closed we still want the learning to continue. We will be updating Spellodrome every Monday as usual, TT rockstars can also be used (with support) and reading books need to be read every day- either the book you have been sent home from school or from your collection at home.

We expect at least 1000 points on Spellodrome every week. You can also use the red book sent home to write spellings and use them in sentences.

Literacy and Numeracy activities will be posted each morning for you to complete. If you want to send pictures of completed work to us then that would be great, if not then that is fine, these activities are for you to complete independently- you need to do these to make sure you continue to progress and grow. 

HWB – please log on and explore some of the activities in the Just2easy section, there are some wonderful resources on here. 

A lovely idea would be for you to keep a diary- in your book or maybe a special book from home. This will let you monitor what is happening and what you have done each day. This will create a really interesting read in the years to come.

Thank you for all your continued support! Please remember to email us with children's work or with any concern/comments no matter how big or small. We would love to see photos too!

Our email addresses are - mrs.marten@ewloegreencps.co.uk

Walk around your house and look for analogue and digital clocks. Write down how many clocks you can see in each room. Remember it may not be as easy as you think. Some clocks may not be easy to see. There are clocks on some TVs, on mobile phones, on tablets, on cookers, etc etc. How many clocks can you find?  Mr. Williams found 14 in his house. Use one of the analogue clocks (that means a clock you can move the fingers on) and see if you can move the fingers to make different times (o’clock and half past).
