It was in the hall and it was almost too big for the hall so it nearly went in the kitchen. It cost them four pounds fifty pence to come in. They went in to learn about the physics of science.

Home Learning - Week beginning 8th June

Years 2 and 3 have been thinking about their feelings about lockdown. Here are some of their diary entries.

My experience of lockdown is that I sometimes like staying at home but sometimes I feel like I want to go back to school. The other thing is that I can’t see my friends, but for some of my friends I can still FaceTime and zoom. The fun things I like to do are Trampolining, playing restaurants with my sister, building dens in the garden and exercising. But a bad thing is that I might not have an actual birthday party in June with my friends. Can’t wait to see you but I’ll still miss my family. Sincerely Max

HOW LOCKDOWN HAS MADE ME FEEL.

By Evelyne White

Age 7

Lockdown has made me feel super sad because I have not played with my friends for 11 weeks!

I also feel lots of love, happy and cared for by my family. My family help me forget about the virus.

I miss my Nanny and Gaga, Poppa, aunties, uncles and cousins very much.

At night I feel very emotional when I say goodnight to my Mummy and Daddy because I think about it all.

I have enjoyed playing with my brother Henri, he makes me feel safe. I have also loved lots of family time.

Henry has written some very amusing limericks that I would like to share with you:

Mrs Parker was a teacher in year 2, 
who found a large octopus in her stew,
said the waiter "don’t shout
or wave it about
or the others will want one too!"

Mrs Sexton is the deputy head,
amazing was the school that she lead,
especially year two,
who knew what to do,
and were never late to bed*.

*sometimes ha! ha!ha!.

They have even come up with their own suggested list of learning activities that we have attached below along with the ideas that we sent home in their packs. We have tried to leave you some flexibility with these as we understand that many of you will be trying to work from home as well as support your child with their learning. We have also tried to add some fun activities so that, despite everything that is going on around us all, you have a chance to spend some quality time with your children.

We are very proud of your attitude whilst walking along the country roads and also the amazing pencil sketches you drew around Nether Wallop. We shall use these sketches in our next art lesson!

Can you remember the link between St George and Nether Wallop Church???

We would like to say a huge thank you to Vanessa, Mrs Wells and Mrs Woodrow for supporting us on our walk, along with Alix from the village for providing refreshments for us in the village hall.

We hope you had a great time at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard yesterday! Thank you to Mrs Lovell and Mrs Francis for joining us. What a great day! 

Please check back later for photographs!

On Monday we are walking to Nether Wallop Village to explore the building types and find out the link between the church and St George! Make sure you are wearing comfortable walking shoes and bring a sunhat!  The church will be providing refreshments.

Please try to read at least 3 times a week! We would love to win the school reading competition! 28 marbles in the jar if we can!
