Today we are going to look at the ck sound and write about chicks.
Click here for the power point! Chick Information
Draw a chick in your green books and write a few sentences about what you remember about the chick. Try and use the word and to join two simple sentences together. Start with the simple sentences and then try a longer one. It is hard for the children to 'HOLD' longer sentences in their heads so you can clap the sentence whisper the sentence shout the sentence. We do this in school so they will understand.
e.g The chick is small and yellow.
A hen lays the eggs and sits on them for 14 days..
The chick pecks the egg and comes out of the shell.

Good morning!
Well this is the second time I have written this today as I accidentally deleted the other one!
I hope every one is getting into the new daily routine.
I keep telling my children at home, this is not a holiday so lets do some home learning before you have a break.
It is important that your child still feels connected to their class or relatives.
Here are some good ideas I have seen form other children: writing letter, drawing a pictures and then electronically sending them.
I tried the Jo Wicks P.E 9 am yesterday in school but I don't think those twist with the sword were good for my back so I will stick to the 'Go Noodle'
Go Noodle
Register, day,date, month and weather. I saw a lovely weather chart today from an email i received which I will share later in the week.

Topic Spring :All about plants.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zpxnyrd/articles/z3wpsbk
Watch the Video clips about plants, play the quiz and then go outdoors and look at real plants.
Now draw a plant and label the parts of the plant.
Root
Shoot
Stem
Leaf
Petal
Can you tell the grown-up what all the parts of the plant are for?
If are able, you might like to grow some cress seeds.
Break
Maths - You can look for patterns in nature out-side, pattern in the curtains bedding and clothes you are wearing. Look at photo graphs of insect (butterflies), leaves petal plants. There is a lot of symmetry and patterns in nature. If you have a small mirror you could experiment with looking at the symmetry of a leaf or flower.
You may want to do a page in you number books today.(you can order more of these on Amazon £3 each)
Craft- Easter craft ideas
Tomorrow we are looking at eggs and chicks, so I might be nice to make some buns tomorrow using eggs so you can decorate them like a flower?
If you still need an extra Challenge you could write a Spring poem in you books or on special paper and decorate it. Here are some ideas.
You can always keep adding to it as you think of more things.
Spring is growing
Spring is Lambs
Spring is buds
Spring is blossom
Spring is sun
Spring is birds
Spring is chick
Spring is chocolate eggs
Spring is Easter egg hunts.
Thank -you for all your hard work. Miss Hemingway and Mrs Hemingway are looking, reading and posting photos from the emails you are sending. They really enjoy seeing all the hard work you are doing.
Stay safe.

Hello from Mr Curly Wurly
admin on: Reception
Woof Woof!
Hello to all the children and staff at Netherthong Primary School,
It's Mr Curly Wurly here and I want to say hello to you all.
Lots of things are different for me at the moment and I've heard it's different for you too so I hope you're all ok and staying safe. I miss you all and hopefully very soon I'll get to see you again. I'm very happy that we've got sausages and my toys at home to play with because we have to stay at home for a while. Sometimes I'm reading books too especially when there's a dog in the story. I'm getting very good at drawing and shapes.
I'm thinking about you all and your families.
I hope to see you soon and take care of yourselves.
Love and paws
Mr Curly Wurly
