Elwood has written a wonderful poem entitled ‘Chicken Nugget’ – well done Elwood on producing such a funny poem. He also has written about ‘A Secret Garden’ – fantastic writing, you should be very proud of yourself.

Good Morning Copper Base,

Don’t forget to have a go at reading something today…it can be instructions to ingredients, labels, words on the TV or choose a book on your book shelf. There are also the online reading books – click the Oxford Reading Owl page above.

Check your key words – how many do you know? Which ones can you learn?

Have a go at the number of the day – choose a different number, what do you notice?

Also coming today will be some ideas for you to do for VE day on Friday 8th May and another story. Key an eye on the blog.

Good Afternoon Copper Base,

Coming your way in the post will be some more activities that have been put together for you to enjoy at home. You may already know about this if we have spoken to you on the phone this week.

It includes, nature hunts, cooking and family games. Have a look through and pick and choose some you like. You do not need to do it all. It is designed for you to have fun and to fit in with your day at home.

It has been so lovely for Mrs Godfrey and myself to talk to you all. We look forward to chatting to you some more over the next few weeks. If you have any questions please send an email or give us a ring, we are always happy to talk to you.

Good Morning Copper Base,

Let’s have a think about shapes today….remember this video we enjoyed so much at school? Have a another look…

There are shapes all around us…in your garden and in your house. Can you spot any?

Have a go at making this handy ‘shape scan’ to find shapes around your house and garden. You can make it using a piece of plain paper, cut a hole in the middle and start hunting… it is as simple as that. Have a look at the example below.

You can draw the shapes you have made, count the corners and the sides. Draw a pictures using lots of different shapes. Enjoy.

Good Morning Copper Base, let’s start the morning with…….
