The Great Smalley Bake Off - Week 3!
Hi Everyone!
It seems lots of you have been out enjoying the lovely sunshine this week and are saving your baking for those cold and rainy days. However, the grown ups have been busy so here are our bakes this week.....
Please continue to send in your bakes over the next couple of weeks, we love to see them.
Happy Half Term Everyone! xxx
Class 1 Home Learning - Friday 22nd May
Good morning Class 1,
We’ve reached the end of another week! Today I’ve created an exercise alphabet for you.
Start by spelling out your name and doing the action for each letter. Then you might like to challenge yourself to practise spelling some of Year 1 and 2 Common Exception words. If you feel like making an exercise alphabet of your own please send them to our Class 1 email. We would love to have a go at them!
Thank you so much for all your hard work over this half term, it has been really lovely to hear from you and see what you have been up to. Please stay safe over the half term break and enjoy spending time with your families.
With Love Mrs Rodgers, Mrs Boole and Mrs Straw xx
Class 1 Home Learning – thank you so much Maeve for sharing your hard work.

Happy Thursday Class 1,
Continuing with our ‘outdoor’ and ‘exercise’ theme, I have really enjoyed getting out and about for a walk each day. We often play ‘I spy’ as we’re walking, or do ‘Scavenger Hunts.’ Here are some activities you might like to try whilst getting out of the house.
The Woodland Trust have lots of other lovely activities which you might enjoy too. Follow the link to choose one you like.

Class 1 Home Learning - Wednesday 20th May
Good morning Class 1!
Today is due to be the warmest day of the year so far so I hope you manage to pop on your sun cream and sun hats and make the most of the sunshine. Today's activity is inspired by Harrison - thank you! A little while ago Harrison sent in some photographs of a fitness track he made at home.
Harrison emailed: "I drew a fitness track with Mummy on the pavement outside. You have to hopscotch, dance, frog jump, skip, slalom and shout “thank you NHS” when you get to the end. We made a sign to encourage other people to have a go and we have loved watching them from our window!"
You might like to design your own fitness track in your garden or create an obstacle course for you and your family. Please email in any photographs of your ideas to our Class 1 email.
Enjoy the sunshine! Love Mrs Rodgers

Class 1 - Home Learning - Tuesday 19th May
Good morning Class 1, what a beautiful day again! Whilst we have been at home my family and I have enjoyed many bike rides around Shipley Park and along the Nutbrook Trail, covering many miles and taking in lots of beautiful scenery.
This is a picture of Casey at Stanton Lock. The other picture is of me pulling Ruby in the trailer.
Have you been on any bike rides? I hear that Darcey can now ride her bike without stabilisers and Moira has also learnt to ride her bike whilst we have been off school. Let me know about your biking journeys and skills! Send them in to our class email.
Florence was busy enjoying the outdoors yesterday planting some window boxes.
Take care,
Love from Mrs Boole

Class 1 - Home Learning Monday 18th May
Good morning Class One, I hope you have all had a lovely weekend. It's been wonderful to see all your photos and read all of your emails, we love to hear what you have been getting up to.
Maeve sent us a picture of some wonderful writing she has done at home using exclamation marks! Do you remember when we used exclamation marks in class when we were writing about which items Jack had stolen from the Giant?
Jess has also sent in a picture of the fruit and vegetables she has been growing at home! Great work Jess!
Florence has been busy making salt dough with her family- they look great Florence!
This week our home learning theme is 'Outdoors'. Do you remember our last day at school before we all had to stay safe at home? We had a special visitor who did a sports morning with our class. This was on Friday 20th March.
Which sports have you been enjoying whilst you have been at home? It might be swingball, tennis, cricket, basketball. We'd love to see what outdoor sports you've been enjoying with your family.
Please send in your pictures and emails to the Class 1 email.
Take care,
Love from Mrs Boole

Mrs Mason’s Monday Morning Message
Good morning children. I do hope you and your families are all keeping well. I miss seeing each and every one of you in our school every day and especially your smiles and hearing you laugh, play and learn together on our playgrounds and in our classrooms.
You have probably heard on the news and from your parents that some of you will soon be able to start back to school and that lots of people are arguing about this! At the moment there is lots to talk about so that we can all feel safe but I will be writing to both you and your parents as soon as I have more details. Until I can do that I don’t want you to worry but to keep working hard at home and enjoying this lovely sunshine.
Due to the lovely weather our theme this week is ‘All things Outdoors!’ We want you to spend as much time as possible learning outside. Your teachers have planned lots of exciting activities for you and your family to get involved in because we know that some of you learn far better when you are outdoors! Also this week it is ‘Mental Health Awareness Week’ and being outside, keeping fit and healthy also helps you to keep happy too!
During the past few weeks while we were only allowed out once a day for exercise I went to Shipley Park many times on my bike. It was so beautiful to hear the birds sing and watch the flowers grow, especially as it was so quiet while everyone was at home. I took lots of photographs to share with you ! I hope you enjoy looking at them on this week’s little film. See if you can spot somewhere you have been in our wonderful country park. I’m sure you will enjoy this week’s song too. Make sure you sing along …… just like in our Monday morning Assembly!
The Great Smalley Bake Off - Week 2!
Once again you have amazed us with your baking skills! Thank you so much for all your efforts and sending in your photographs. Please continue to share your bakes over the next week using your class email, ready for another gallery next Friday.
Have a lovely weekend xx
Class 1 Home Learning - Friday 15th May
Happy Friday Class 1!
Our final day for our VE Day focus. During the war, people were encouraged to ‘Dig for Victory’ by growing their own fruit and vegetables. Just like it has sometimes been harder to buy some of our favourite things from the shops during recent weeks, it was even harder for people in the war. They were only allowed certain amounts of food and this was called ‘rationing.’ By growing fruit and vegetables in their gardens, people could have more food to eat as they did not need to go to the shops to buy it. This got me thinking about our beans. How tall are they now? Maybe you could send in a photograph like Florence did, measure your beanstalk or plant some other vegetable seeds. Can you remember what plants need to grow well? We would love to see your 'home grown'work using our Class 1 email.
REMEMBER - these ideas are for fun! Please don't feel obliged to complete them. The most important thing is to be happy!
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Love Mrs Rodgers, Mrs Boole and Mrs Straw xx
