Hi everyone,
In the event that your child has a period of absence from school or your child's bubble at school is closed for a period of time, we will be uploading various different activities, resources and learning ideas to this page on the website.
We will also be loading weekly phonics & maths activities onto Google Classroom. Please use your USO google login info to access these resources.
Busy Things offers lots of phonics, maths and other activities/games as an additional resource for your child's learning. You will need your Google Classroom USO login for Busy Things, however you only need the initial part of your login, e.g. pbrown006.205 not pbrown006.205@wendelpark.lbhf.sch.uk
The password is the SAME as your USO Google Classroom password.

TOP TIPS ON HANDWASHING:
- Count for 20 seconds as you wash your hands after holding someones hands, after you've been to the toilet, after handling animals and before you eat!
- Sing happy birthday twice to ensure hands are fully cleaned.
- Follow the instructions above for guidance.
Here are some great videos to make kids aware of the importance of washing hands and for a gentle explanation to the Coronavirus.

Welcome back online everybody and a very happy New Year to you all!

| Surpising Sharks Book & Writing ideas.pdf | Download |
This week we are looking at a fantastic non-fiction text all about sharks - it is called Surprising Sharks because it asks us to look at sharks in a slightly different way and asks the question, who should really be afraid - humans of sharks or sharks of humans?
The book introduces us to many different sharks and is bursting with facts and information. Do you know what a non-fiction text is? How is it different to a story book or picture book?
When you have listened to the story, have a look at the Surprising Sharks ideas pdf above and see if you can have a go at some of the activities.
Can you make a little origami book (template below) and fill it with shark facts? Can you write down words to describe a shark? Can you draw your own picture of a shark and label all his features/parts or write down what he might be thinking? Can you have a go at the shark song or shark yoga?
We have lots of fun shark and ocean themed crafts for you to have a go at too so take a look and see what you would like to try this week:)
We can't wait to see what ideas you come up with - have fun!
Have you ever wanted to find out more about sharks? Now is your chance! Take a look at all the videos below and here are a couple of websites for you to get started with:
We have LOTS of different shark crafts and a lovely CD rainbow fish, handprint mermaid & paper plate crab for you to have a go at this week - which one will you choose?!
Check out these great shark craft websites for ideas too!

Don't forget to write your name on your poster, and if you can write a few key words on your poster or a sentence describing your poster.
We will continue reviewing all our numbers 1-20 this week but will also start to take a look at money, coin amounts and the different ways we can make amounts, e.g. 5p can be 5 x 1p, 2p + 2p + 1p, 2p = 1p + 1p etc. There are lots of resources below to get you started.

Inspired by 'Shark week' here is an activity you can try:
Go outside and find some point leaves on the ground, cut them up and then turn them into the spikey teeth of a ferocious shark!
Hello everybody!
As it's shark week, we thought some fun ocean animal themed snacks were in order! Why not have a go at making a shark banana, shark quesadilla, crabwich, jellywich or pepper octopus?!
Take a look here at the Change4Life website for more delicious recipe ideas and fantastic ideas for getting fit indoors:)
What are you talking about?!
Have you had a good chat today?
It's good to talk and we would love to hear what you have been chatting and thinking about:)
This week we have found some mindfulness activities for you to have a go at - we particularly love the senses challenges, for example walk 10 steps slowly and concentrate - what did your feet and toes do?
Or, lie down with a teddy on your tummy. Breathe in and out. How does the teddy move?
We have some Mindful breathing with Teddy exercises to have a go at and also some lovely colouring - perhaps you could do this while you are listening to your favourite music?
We have been reflecting and thinking about how wonderful it is that we are all different and yet all the same in so many ways too.
This week, why not have a go at the Oak Academy's lesson about Friendship which is based around the story of the Lion and the Mouse? We have also attached a link for another interesting lesson that looks at the different kinds of homes we all live in:
'Home is where the heart is...'
Just as a plant needs to grow, you need to grow too! Have a look at the activity below and see if you can think about the people at home and at school who can help you to grow:)
Have a listen if you can to the wonderful story 'Don't Worry Little Crab' and see how he grows to love the ocean:)
