Welcome to Apple Class!

Wednesday 22nd July – I just want to wish you all a wonderful summer! We have been busy getting the classroom ready to welcome you back. We really can't wait to see you! I've also been very busy meeting our new Reception children this week on zoom. They are so excited to be joining us in September and Reception I know you are going to be great role models as our new Year 1 children. I've added some photos below to give you a sneaky peak of our classroom for September. If you look carefully, you can see what the new class name is. Thank you to all those who voted! I'm so sad to say goodbye to our wonderful Year 1 children…especially those I couldn't say goodbye to in person. I wish you all the best in Year 2 – I know you will continue to be superstar learners. Check out Mr Corne's class page to find out what your new class is going to be called. Happy holidays to you all. We can't wait to see you in September! Stay safe – Mrs C

Tuesday 14th July – Here is this week's home learning. You'll also find out more information about our 'Hello, nice to see you' video call.

Monday 13th July – Good morning Apple Class – Oak Academy have not uploaded this weeks schedule yet but I will add the timetable as soon as I can.

More information can be found on the weekly home learning timetable posted here Friday (please note, all lessons can be found by clicking subjects if not shown on daily schedule). Year 1 children have been encouraged to follow the Reception lessons in the afternoon as they have an Under the Sea theme but you may choose to look at the suggested curious curriculum activities instead. Feel free to choose any of the Under the Sea lessons to do Monday if you want a creative day. There are a number of resources required for the Reception activities – I have added them to the timetable. I suggest you raid the recycling bin this week before putting it out for collection. Remember you can adapt the lessons and use your own creative ideas and you do not need to print off any worksheets (choose your own way to record). I look forward to seeing some wonderful Ocean themed creations this week. Have fun!

I've had some super poems back from Year 1's, who have been using onomatopoeia – what a big word that is! Well done to you all.

Friday 24th April –   Good Morning, we have lots of lovely new photos in the gallery below. Click on the picture to get an enlarged view.

Some parents have been asking about reading books.  Please encourage your child to read every day.  We don't want them to lose this important skill.  They can read their own books at home with your support but also check out the fantastic free library of e-books on Oxford Owl website.  There are wide selections of books on here that support phonics and can be selected by age.  They have fiction and non- fiction as well as those old favourites Biff and Chip!  Definitely worth a look!

https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/

Parents have also been using Oak National Academy online lessons.  These cover a wide range of the areas across the curriculum.  They have ideas specifically for Reception as well as Year 1 – just select the tab at the top. BBC bitesize is also supporting parents with daily online lessons specific to the expectations of the Year 1 National Curriculum.

https://www.thenational.academy/online-classroom/year-1/#schedule

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/tags/zjpqqp3/year-1-lessons/1

If your child has finished their spelling book and is able to use these spellings in their writing correctly, please email and I will forward the next book on to you.

I have had really positive feedback about the White Rose Maths website. I love this site because it is very similar to the way we would teach maths in school Please check it out!

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/

Please don't feel you have to spend your entire time sitting next to your child supporting them one to one.  Independence is an important life skill!  Your child will benefit from making their own choices and having a go at solving their own problems.  Give them a challenge and step back and see how they tackle it!  You may be surprised!

It is fantastic to have all this online support available to parents but please don't let it become too overwhelming.  I have been so impressed by the effort, enthusiasm and creativity I have seen from you all. Thank you for all your hard work but remember lots of learning happens through play and being outside (safely) in nature is fantastic for our mental health and well being too! Have a good weekend.

Monday 20th April – Good morning Apple Class and welcome back to our new term online. Our new Curious Curriculum this term is I wonder why ladybirds have spots, where we aim to find out lots about minibeasts and the environments they like to live in. We've all been making the most of the wonderful weather and getting outside in the garden or on our daily exercise so hopefully you can enjoy lots of hands on activities outside this term but remember you can also look for information online with help from your parents or carers and there are lots of opportunities to be creative. Please look in the home learning section below to find the latest sheet uploaded at the beginning of the holiday. I have had lots of lovely photos already of your minibeast learning (see gallery today and last week) but if you haven't started yet…don't worry now is start of our new term.

I also wanted to let you know about some great new home learning activities that have been set up to support parents with home learning. Please note, there is no obligation to use these, they are just sites I have looked at and think could be really useful. I mentioned White Rose Maths last week; they are introducing short daily maths lessons for Year 1 children (Reception could have a go with parental support) on their website from today. They have short videos and although they have sheets to print off, you could copy out the questions or just record the answers on your own paper. Parents – they also have an answer sheet underneath. They will be updating lessons on a fortnightly basis so why not have a look. I think it looks great!

Also from today, BBC Bitesize will publish daily online lessons.  They cover lots of different areas of the curriculum and also have little videos and suggestions for activities linked to them. I have added the link for Year 1 below but again these could be adapted for Reception. You can also access this through the BBC Bitesize home page.

Tuesday 14th April – Good afternoon, I hope you all had a lovely Easter! We have some great photos to share in the gallery today. Kingsley wrote his own book this week based on an idea about all children in England being given a pet from the zoo to make lockdown a bit more fun! He wrote and illustrated the book himself over two mornings. I wonder what pet you would like from the zoo? Josh has some new pets of his own at the moment…some caterpillars. He's keeping a close eye on them as they are growing bigger everyday. I wonder what will happen next? Ellie went on a minibeast safari and found a slow worm! What an exciting find! She also made a super paper mache ladybird! Olivia shared photos of her Easter fun…she even spotted the Easter Bunny! Check out the photo below.

Monday 6th April – Good Morning! Today would be the first day of the Easter holidays! Please feel free to take a break from home learning and enjoy some well deserved time off if you want to. I will continue to respond to emails and update the website on a regular basis. Some of you may be keen to continue your routine so I have added a new home learning sheet and resources below. There is no time expectation for this! Our new curious curriculum theme has been developed from the children's obvious enthusiasm for outdoor learning and the beautiful weather we have had. Take a look at the photographs of super minibeasts you have found in your gardens or out on your daily exercise. I wonder what minibeasts you can find? You can also find information below the photos about projects set up by the Sussex PE and Sports Network and Chartwells UK with further ideas for activities at home. Enjoy!

  • Josh found a snail
  • …and a ladybird
  • Koko and Captain found a millipede

Chartwells UK (who cook our school dinners!) have been working on a project – The Super Yummy Kitchen, which has been launched on YouTube

Super Yummy, Simply Delicious snacks

They have created cook along videos aimed to help children create yummy, healthy snacks made from store cupboard ingredients. Nutritional messages will feature throughout the videos and there will be a curriculum activity and a health and wellbeing challenge set every day.  These videos will be launched on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays at 1pm.  Why not check it out?

Wellbeing and Online Safety

I bet some of you have been feeling a little bit strange, worried or even a bit frightened about what is going on in the news and wondering why we aren't at school.  Please remember it is important to look after your wellbeing, meaning both your physical and mental health so that you stay calm, healthy and happy. Remember to tell an adult if you are worried (Grown-ups please check the home page for recommended links to support your child through this difficult time). You could also do some Cosmic Kids Yoga or Peace Out Relaxation to help calm your feelings.  Why not show your family how we do it at school? Perhaps they could join in too!

You may be using the internet a lot more too so it's important to remember how to stay safe online.  Ask a grown up to read Smartie the Penguin's story on the link below.  There are lots of fun activities to reinforce his message on there too.

Friday 3rd April – I have been so impressed with how creative you have all been with your home learning. I have learnt about 'concrete cake' this week from Ellie and Aidan which seems have been family recipes their mums both remember from their childhoods. How lovely is that! I'm secretly hoping they will bring some in for me to try when we return to school. Check out these creative ideas below including obstacle courses, acrobats, baking, model making, rainbows and writing. Well done to all of you!

Thursday 2nd April – Look at the super writing I've been sent today. Kingsley wrote about how he made his mummy happy on Mother's Day. He made me happy too with this independent writing! Thank you Kingsley! Finn wrote his weekend news and Mia practised her phonics and made a fact file about sheep. She also made a super kite to fly in her garden. Violet wrote labels to add to her pressed flowers and leaves. (Grown ups – that's a great way to get some writing practise in!). She has also been practising odd and even numbers and made a super unicorn rocket with numbers down the side. Well done to all today's superstar learners!

Wednesday 1st April – A new month and a new revamp to the Apple Class page. We have had so many lovely photos to share each day that it's taking too long to scroll down to see them all. From today, we will add new posts and photos to the top of the page so you can keep up to date on what we've all been up to.

Today, I have had a lovely letter from Geo, some super nature photos from Phee, great weekend news from Violet and a great bird feeder idea from Josh using a cardboard tube, peanut butter and bird seed. Well done to Finn for completing his Step Back in Time Project. After watching Horrible Histories, he decided he wanted to do the Greek philosopher, Socrates (I wasn't expecting that!). He even made a short video which we will share with the class when we return. What a great costume!

Friday 27th March – Good morning Apple Class, what a strange week this has been not seeing you everyday! I have been really uplifted though by the wonderful photos and emails received this week. Please keep them coming next week and let me know if you are happy for photos to be uploaded to the gallery. It is a great way to share ideas with your classmates. Remember lots of learning happens through play and if you can make the most of the sunshine by being outside in the garden that's even better! I'm just as happy to hear about that as I am to see your work. Parents, you are doing a super job! Have a good weekend and stay safe.

Thursday 26th March – Hi Apple Class, Check out Violet's writing about the chicks! It was great to hear she had watched a video about chicks on youtube and I love the names Violet…I will pass them on to Mrs Thomson. She has since seen our post from yesterday and thinks the chicks are 'fluffy and cute'. We have to agree!

Wednesday 25th March – Good afternoon Apple Class, I have some very exciting news to share…the eggs hatched on Monday and all six chicks are doing well! Mrs Thomson has sent these beautiful pictures through today. She has taken them home and will keep us updated.

Tuesday 24th March – Hi Apple Class, There are lots of useful websites offering ideas and support for home learning. Some are better than others so be a little cautious. Thank you for sending me your links. Here are a few of my favourites from the recommendations:-

Lots of great maths and reading games and activities on this site as well as advice for parents. Look out for Biff and Chip on here too! https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/

Make the most of the weather while we can. Love these outdoor ideas! https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2020/03/kids-nature-activities-self-isolation/

I love the advice for parents and creative ideas on this site although you do need resources. Worth checking it out! https://theimaginationtree.com/

Check out Alphablocks, Numberblocks, Down on the Farm and Let's Celebrate on cbeebies. You can also listen to audio stories on cbeebies radio: https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/radio

Don't forget to check out BBC Bitesize KS1. Check out 'Significant People' in the History section for ideas for your Step Back in Time project: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/levels/z3g4d2p

Monday 23rd March – Morning Apple Class, I thought I would start the week with a quick hello as we can't be in school together today. I'm looking forward to hearing all about the learning you're doing at home. Please feel free to email me photos of your work/activities/creations so we can share them on our class page. If you have any good ideas or useful links you would like to share with others please do so via my email and I will post them on. Please check out the bodycoach, Joe Wicks, who is doing a daily PE session for kids at 9am on YouTube from Monday 23rd March (thebodycoach.com). Phonics Play has also given a free subscription to all their resources and made a new site compatible with phones/tablets (new.phonicsplay.co.uk). They also have a new link for phonic comics which develop segmenting and blending skills like our school reading scheme books (www.phonicsplaycomics.co.uk). Definately worth a daily visit to these sites for phonics practice! Hastings Museum have set up virtual activities via Facebook or Twitter which have a different focus each week. Might be worth a little look! I have added a suggested timetable in the home learning section above for those wanting structure to the day but please adapt it to suit your child's needs. Please don't forget to have fun and remember lots of learning happens through play! I look forward to hearing from you via email and will post again soon. Stay safe (wash those hands) and be the superheroes I know you all are!
