You might like to do some bird watching from the comfort of your sitting room: there are lots of resources on www.rspb.org.uk
If you want to read some books online, apart from Oxford Owl, try www.booktrust.org.uk
Here's an idea for an activity that my mum used to do with her class and with me at home(Sofia, reminded me of it!).
Make an Easter garden in a large shallow container. Spread some soil in the container and find moss for the grass. Plant some primroses or daisies and use twigs for trees. Make a hill and put a cross on it. Nearby make a hollow and find a big round stone for the entrance. I remember we used to add bunnies and chicks and even the odd little gnome, but this is not necessary! Have fun!
Have a super Easter,
Lots of love,
Mrs. Ferguson x
P.S. There are some Easter eggs waiting for you in the cupboard at school, when we get back!

Hello Team Willow!
You all did a splendid job last week! Lots of emails and pictures to show you were working hard and having fun!
I am going to post the Learning Intentions for this week, followed by extra explanation! Unlike last week I will post my daily blog on top of each post, rather than at the bottom of it (it seemed logical to me, but my husband says it makes more sense!).
Do not worry if you don't do it all! It is there as a guide and i know you are all very busy! Dip in and out, find something in the Homework packs or do something completely different! Children - remember the school rule to do something the first time you are asked. Be happy!
Lots of love,
Mrs. Ferguson x

How London changed after The Great Fire of London. What was the name of the street where the fire started? Why did the fire spread? Imagine what London looked like after the fire. Explain that the city had to be rebuilt because people had nowhere to live and had to sleep in tents. Make a list of things that would help make London a safer place to live. What could be done to make the new houses safe from fire? (rebuild in brick) What do you think could be done to make the streets cleaner? (collect the rubbish from the street) What do you think could be done to make the streets wider? (rebuild houses further apart) What did the firefighters use to put out the fire? (hooks, buckets of water and squirts) What equipment would help to put out fires more quickly? (a fire engine)

R.E. |
The Easter Story: Forgiving. Read ‘Let’s Be Friends Again’ by Hans Wilhelm (on You Tube), where one of the main characters needs to forgive another. Stop as the turtle is released, and ask what both pupils should do. At the end of the story discuss who said sorry, how the brother felt before and after forgiving, and what might have happened if he never forgave his little sister. Think of the phrase ‘forgive and forget’. Do you think the brother will really forget what his sister did? Why is it important for him to forgive and wipe the slate clean? Think of Jesus’ words on the cross: ‘Father forgive them for they know not what they do.’ Who is Jesus forgiving and what is being forgiven? Christians ask God to forgive their sins, because of Jesus’ example and action – being prepared to die to save people and heal their friendship with God. Christians believe that God has the power to forgive sins. The resurrection proved many things, one of which was Jesus’ power to forgive sin. |

Week 4
Week ending 20.3.20
It has been a very emotional week! Brilliant to see so many Willows and chat to our lovely, supportive Mums and Dads.
I hope all our amazing Mums have a wonderful, relaxing (don't go round Tesco, as I have just done!) Mothering Sunday! Don't forget to look in the Kentish Cazette (I'm not on commission!) for a portrait of you and a message from your child! The sun has got his hat on - keep smiling!
What have we learned this week?
'I learned my 3 x table.'
'I learned how to add the graphemes 'ble' and 'le'.'
'I learned how to dribble a ball in basketball.'
'I learned how to subtract a two digit number from a two digit number, using a number line and a hundred square.'
'I learned how to find out about a character in a story.'
'I wrote 'rules of three sentences about a character from 'The Wolf's Story.'
'I made a Mothering Sunday card.'
'I designed a fire engine.'
'I could say what I needed to make the fire engine.'
'I made my fire engine out of recycled materials.'
'I evaluated my design - what went well and what I could do to make it even better!'
Dear Parents,
I will be posting our learning intentions for the week, with daily plans. These are intended as a guide to what we would have been learning at school. Please do not think you have to follow them to the letter: we are experiencing a very unsettling, stressful time for our families - some children will want the routine of learning, others might rebel - they are confused and anxious! Go with the flow and bring as much fun and joy into your lives as possible. Many of you will be working from home and have little ones to look after as well - it might be easier to take your lead from your child. Do a project on cooking, gardening, dinosaurs, space, Lego, football, the Olympics, spring, birds, etc..which they can research from many of the wonderful sites available online, such as BBC Bitesize, Twinkl or Purple Mash.
I have included in the homework folders: Snappy/Mad Maths worksheets; Spring Activity Booklets for Maths and English; an Easter Revision Booklet; Abacus Maths Workbook; Handwriting Booklets; mini books to make; 'The Wolf's Story' and some colouring! You can dip into them as much as you like. They should also have three reading books- do try to read as much as possible - it is the key to everything!
We will be able to go over learning to reinforce and consolidate when they return to school (we do it every September, after the long summer holiday!) so they will not miss out!
Keep healthy and happy!
Much love,
Genny xx

23.3.20
Dear Willows,
I have been into school today - it was so strange without you - I miss you! I hope you are making the most of the sunshine. I have a beautiful cock pheasant in the garden and two hen pheasants - my Birman, Minty is very interested in them, but too lazy to chase them! I think I had better get her inside!
Joke of the day: 'What do you call a boomerang that won't come back? A stick!
Maths Word Problem: Lee leaves school at 3 o'clock. He takes 15 minutes to walk home. At what time does Lee get home?
I found a lovely site for doing interactive jigsaw puzzles : The jigsawpuzzles.com
Be good for Mummy and Daddy and see you soon!
Love,
Mrs. Ferguson xx
24.3.20
Good Morning Willows!
Another beautiful day! Whilst the sun is shining and it is dry, it is the ideal weather to collect some flowers and leaves to press. Just pick a few flowers - daisies, buttercups, dandelions and primroses, for example, and some leaves. Then place them face down on some kitchen roll (or loo roll if you can spare it!) and put another piece of paper on top. Next place your flower sandwich in between sheets of newspaper and pile some heavy books on top. My mum used to put them under the mat, which worked well - I found some the other day, which I had done when i was a little girl! Leave them for a couple of weeks to dry out and then you can use them to make a beautiful card or bookmark or even to start a project on flowers! You could send a card you have made to your Grandmas and Grandpas- they would love it!
If you google BBC Magic Grandad - Samuel Pepys, you can watch the video we would have watched in class. You'll never guess what he did with his cheese! It will help you, when you write his diary.
Joke of the day: What does a cloud wear under his raincoat? Thunderwear!
Maths Word Problem: The house numbers in my street are 15, 17, 19, 21, but the last one has fallen off - what should it be?
Keep washing and anti-baccing!
Love
Mrs.Ferguson x
Dear Parents,
For Mothering Sunday, my husband set up 'Zoom' so we could see, chat and play games (jackbox, fibbage is brilliant!) with our five children. He uses it at work and can conference up to 100 people! I was also able to read my grandson his bedtime story! I cannot recommend it highly enough to keep in contact with your loved ones and it is free!
Stay healthy and happy!

Good Morning Willows!
What a beautiful morning - the frost was glistening in the sunshine on my lawn - so pretty!
Joke of the day: What time is it when the clock strikes 13? Time to get a new clock!
Maths Word Problem: The numbers on the cards should all be odd: which number is not correct?
1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 11, 13, 15. What should the number be?
Chain letters: How many words can you make, by just changing the first letter of CAKE?
As you know, i love to keep fit by doing Zumba and I have found a good site for you to dance along to: GoNoodle. Have fun and KEEEEP DANCING!!
i was absolutely delighted to receive an email and photos of Arthur and his home learning. Do send me pictures of what you are doing and any 'show and tell' to keep our Team Willow informed!
Much love,
Mrs Ferguson xx

Hello Willows!
I have been in to school today and was so tired that when I got home I had a snooze! Anyway, I am feeling much more lively now and have been reading some lovely emails from you. I set Arthur a challenge to build a model of The Great Fire of London out of Lego, like Florrie's beautiful creation. Have a look at the pictures. Do you think you could do one - it doesn't have to be out of Lego!
Joke of the day:What did one toilet say to another? You look a bit flushed!
Maths Word Problems: Owen goes on a ferry. He sleeps for 4 hours of the journey and is awake for 5 hours. How long is the journey?
Chain letters: How many words can you make from 'tail', by just changing the first letter?
Sleep tight and i will keep you posted tomorrow.

For Mums and Dads : The National Theatre is live streaming plays every Thursday at 7.00. The first one ' One Man Two Guvnors ' I have seen at the Marlowe Theatre: it is probably the funniest play I have ever seen - I thoroughly recommend it!
Have a lovely, safe weekend - remember children, to keep washing and anti-baccing and be kind to Mum and Dad!
Best wishes,

What an amazing Science Week we have had!
The children have written diaries about what has happened on each day; we have had a visit from Mrs. Levett, showing us how to make mini greenhouses out of old CD cases, Karen from Affinity Water explained how we should save water, scientists from Pfizers showed us the germs on our hands to encourage us to wash our hands thoroughly and finally we had a flying display from a barn owl and an eagle owl, and learned lots of interesting facts about owls. Most of us had our pictures taken with Tallulah, the Barn Owl. To round off the week, we carried out an investigation on which was the stretchiest sweet! A huge thank you to Mrs. Strover for organising such a diverse and interesting week.
What else have we learned this week?
'I learned my 10 x table.'
'I learned that plurals can be made in different ways.'
'I learned that if a noun or verb ends in a 'y', if you want to add 's', you must change the 'y' into an 'i' and add 'es', e.g. cry becomes cries, fly becomes flies.'

Lovely to see the children back after half-term!
On Tuesday we went to The Three Hills Sports' Centre in Cheriton for a Year 1/2 Football Tournament. Many of the children were a little nervous as they had not played football before, however, they soon realised that most of the other children were 'in the same boat' and quickly embraced the games' values of sportsmanship. We were very proud of our children, who without fail went and shook hands with their opponents and thanked the referees. The teachers awarded medals to Sophia B, Lucas and Megan for their 'have a go' attitude!
What else have we learned this week?
'I learned my 2 x table.'
'I learned the 'wa' and 'qua' phonemes/ graphemes.'
