he Mease Federation Happy and Healthy 4th May 2020
Hello Class 1 children and parents.
Last week we began telephoning some of our families. It was lovely to speak with some of you and
hear about how hard you’ve all been working at home. We’ve been very impressed with the range of
different activities you’ve been doing. Inspired by your creativity, Mrs Williams did some baking for
the first time in a very long time and treated the staff at the hub to a range of delicious muffins :-) and
Mrs Bennett has completed a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle of a rural scene. She enjoyed the challenge so
much that Mr Bennett has built her a bespoke jigsaw table so that she can now attempt her map of
the British Isles Jigsaw.
As you know this Friday is the 75th anniversary of VE day. The Key worker children who are still attend-
ing school will be commemorating this by taking part in an online sing-along on Thursday 7th May at
11.00am. Song sheets can be printed in advance from the site too. You can use this link below to do the
same at home if you wish.

They will also be following the lesson plan on Friday 8th May which explains what VE is and discusses
the importance of the event. You can use this link below to do the same at home if you wish.

Reception Sophia has been working very hard, count-
ing money, completing her phonics work and
creating beautiful
butterflies.
Ellie has been learning about butterflies and spotting
them on her daily walks. She has also learned that
rape seed is made into oil for cooking and has been
helping her mummy to make home-made pizzas.
We think they look delicious!
Isla has been helping to look after the lambs on the family farm with her sisters. She has also been learning
about butterflies and created one using her handprints. The girls have also been learning and having lots of
fun outdoors.
Max has been very busy riding his bike
with his brother Oliver, exploring the local
pond looking for nature and reading.
Year One
Alfie created the ‘Hogwarts Express’ out of
junk in his garden and became a pirate for an
afternoon.
Leo P has been den building in his garden with some
help from his little brother Arthur. It is still a work

same night, an activity arranged by the Beavers and Cubs.
Harry and his brother Jack continue to thank
the NHS and Key Workers.

plaster cast keepsake to remember their time
at home. They’ve also helped mum by prepar-
ing their own lunches.
Charlie has been working hard his read-
ing and comprehension skills.

on the kitchen table.
Esafety:
Websites that can help keep children safe online.
https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/ This has links to activities and information for parents and
children about keeping safe online.
https://www.commonsensemedia.org/ This is an organisation dedicated to helping parents/carers
find out information on apps/games/websites/films/music
and whether they are appropriate for children. It gives a
brief overview to better understand what your children are
accessing.
Socialising: This week we received photos of some older children taking part in an online class zoom call.
Parents were obviously around to supervise safe internet use but the children enjoyed catching up with
their friends tremendously. Perhaps this is something you might like to try. Watch this space next week for
a new and exciting way to keep in touch with your buddies.
Home-learning:
This week’s packs have been sent out including activities in Maths and English.
Maths will continue to follow White Rose where children will be able to access videos which now link to
daily BBC bitesize lessons, to help with their understanding and learning in each area.
The link below will help explain this .
