Hello Cherries!! Hope you are all well? Happy Summer Term. It has been lovely hearing from most of you about the amazing work that you have been doing at home. Please keep this up and keep letting me know how you're feeling and what you're enjoying doing at home too. I miss you all and I am so proud of you all and how you are all coping with this situation.
We will see each other again soon.
Take care and stay safe.

Miss Oram's Creative Challenge!
A normal day in school:
If you want, you can use this as a guideline but adapt it to suit you.
- A morning activity (15min). Often quick maths arithmetic e.g. Ninja Numeracy, TTRockstars, Morningchallenge.com
- Chat about the day ahead/watching and discussing Newsround
- Maths (1 hour) - Break (15 min)
- English (1 hour) - Lunch (50 min)
- Spelling (15 min) Each lesson in a week will focus on one of the following: Learn the pattern (Spellzone can help), Practice the spellings (No Nonsense Spelling ideas help with this), Apply (write the words in sentences. Online dictionaries and thesauruses help with this) and lastly, Assess (a quick, no pressure test at the end of the week to see which ones are sticking and which need more practise).
- Foundation subject (1.5 hours). This could be one of the project tasks set in the homelearning books.
Reading or TTRS (20 min)
Please make sure you are doing physical exercise daily. Joe Wicks is doing a PE lesson at 9 am every morning on his youtube channel 'The Body Coach TV'.

Get Witham Reading
MP Priti Pattel has set a challenge for children and young people across her constituency to read as many books as they can by Friday 3rd July 2020.
Anyone participating in this challenge can email her office at WithamMP@parliament.uk with the list of books they have read and a short summary of which was their favourite and why by Friday 3 July 2020.
It would be useful if every entry has the child’s name, age and school included. Every child who participates will receive a certificate of participation and the winner of the most books read and best summary will receive a prize.
Alternatively, if children do not wish to participate in this challenge, they can participate in Get Witham Reading by writing a book review or a poem and sending this to her office at WithamMP@parliament.uk
