Product Information

Our school has done so well so far with the Virtual School Games, all year groups have won an event, our year 1's and 2's were named Berkshire County Champions for last week's Enduro challenge, which is AMAZING! We have such a fantastic collection of home learning sent into us that we wanted to share some examples with you. Each week we will show some different children's work so please keep sending them in! The resource highlights a typical day and allows for discussions and text reflections with your class. The resource includes many words from the Year 2 spelling lists and involves your Ks1 children correcting the spelling errors.

He would love to see what you have been up to at home. You can send in pieces of work, drawings and pictures and videos of you keeping active! There is much to like about Erin Pike (the story's protagonist); she's a gutsy young seafarer with a huge heart and she resolutely stands up for what she believes in. I also liked the fact that instead of a fisherman father, it is her seafaring mother who she takes to the sea with, so kudos to Joe Todd-Stanton for challenging the gender stereotype.Erin loves to lie on the jetty, looking for the weirdest fish in the sea—the weirder, the better! And she knows the best ones must be further out, where her mum won’t let her go… Disclaimer: Many thanks to NoBrow for the opportunity to read and review. Please assure that my opinions are honest.

The Secret of Black Rock by Joe Todd-Stanton | Waterstones

This is an exceptionally illustrated modern folk-tale […] You will love Erin and her large heart, courage, sense of adventure, and ability to stand up for what she believes in! A fairytale world is created that should enchant children as much as the old-fashioned illustrations that fit the story perfectly. To write with a good level of consistency, meaning all letters are positioned on the line and are the same size as each other. Todd-Stanton’s tale is, at first glance, a deceptively simple tale of acceptance and bravery. However, he deftly infuses his narrative with quiet depth, including a positive ecological slant in which nature wins over machines, and portrays Erin’s single mother succeeding in a typically male-dominated profession. The illustrations are dazzling and vibrantly hued, the rich palette just right for the resplendent undersea scenes that adroitly float young readers’ sense of magic just under the surface of the mundane. A winner on many levels. Forming lower case and capital letters in the right direction, starting and finishing in the right place.Now is a great opportunity for your child to practise their handwriting at home (if you can) and a little bit each day can really help. There are three different booklets to choose from based on your child's ability. There are only 2 weeks left of the Virtual School Games. We as a school have done so well, so elt's finish on a high and keep breaking our record for number of children taking part, and see if we can finish with some more medals!

Once you have logged in select the 'gig' tab, the children will be asked a range of questions including division, if they don't know the answer then ask them to have a guess. The children will then be assigned the ones they need to work on. They can earn coins to customise their avatar and buy accessories. Erin loves to lie on the jetty, looking for the weirdest fish in the sea—the weirder, the better! And she knows the best ones must be further out, where her mum won't let her go . . . It is crucial that not only are your Year 1 and Year 2 kids exploded to new vocabulary, but that they also develop an understanding of the word and how it can be used. Stylistically, the illustrations have a vintage nostalgic, almost Famous Five feel and it was this that I found most appealing about the book. Although there's a powerful sense of drama in much of the artwork, there's also a friendliness too, tempering the story's more scarier moments.It was so lovely to see the year 2's for their last face to face, we are so proud how hard they have worked during this time and would like to personally thank you for all your support, we could not have done it without you! Thank you also for your kind words and gifts it is really appreciated. We wish them all every success for Year 3 and hope that they enjoy their transition visits next week.
