Hello Lime Tree parent teachers!
Hope you are all getting on ok.
Please find attached our Home Learning Mat and writing task for week commencing 25th May. This week's learning is around a tiny seed's journey to become a giant flower in this classic story ' The Tiny Seed ' by Eric Carle.
There's an oline link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ls6wTeT2cKA
Once again, you may want to talk about who is the main character in the story? What is the setting for the story? What is the problem? What was the solution?
After reading the story, we'd like the children to have a go at writing the Super Sentence (we did these each week at school): One seed lands on the........sun/mud/grass.
There are some 'tricky tracker' words in this sentence (One, the) and the 'ee' sound (as in seed) that not all of the children will have come across in their phonic sessions.
There are lots of interesting activities linked to this story (see attached learning mat) that you could do or even come up with your own..
If you have any questions or work to share please contact us at :
lime-teachers@crossdale.notts.sch.uk.
We hope you enjoy this story and activities together!

Attached below you will find a link to an exciting Science project for you to have a go at this week. Everything you need to get going is included in the link but remember you can contact us anytime.
We hope you enjoy this project and look forward to seeing what you produce.
For this week's writing task we would like you to read/watch the wonderful story, 'The Great Balloon Hullabaloo' by Peter Bentley. It's a tale of Simon the squirrel who goes shopping in outer space in a hot air balloon. If you don't have a copy of the story there is a link to an online one here:

Once again, you may want to talk about who is the main character in the story? What is the setting for the story? What was the problem? What was the solution?
You could ask your child if they agree or disagree with the following statements:
You can get to the moon in a giant balloon.
The moon is made of cheese.
Simon was kind to go shopping for his mum.
They might even show you some of the hand signals they use during our VIPERS sessions (agree, challenge or build on it).
Once you've had your lovely story time, we'd like the children to have a go at writing the Super Sentence (we did these each week at school): Pop to the shops.
There are some 'tricky tracker' words in this sentence (to, the), it would be great to see the children spelling these words correctly in their writing when they return to school.
We hope you enjoy this week's story. If they do a really good job of their writing could they perhaps have a pizza treat for tea like Simon the squirrel....or even make their own!
Good luck!
Please find attached our new Home Learning Mat - we'll blog a new mat each week to help keep you updated with projects that have been blogged, direct you to resources available and also suggest a few other fun/community based activities for you.
We hope you find it useful and, as always, if you have any questions or work to share please contact us at lime-tree@crossdale.notts.sch.uk. We love hearing from you all!
Take care and stay safe
Mrs Mellor and Mrs Ingle
Here are a few more pics of the lovely things going on at home. For all those lockdown birthdays we will continue the celebrations when we return to school.
For this week's writing task we would like you to read one of our old favourites, 'Room on the Broom' by Julia Donaldson. If you don't have a copy of the story there is a link to an online one here:

You might want to talk about who is the main character in the story? What is the setting for the story? What was the problem? What was the solution? You could even ask your child to come up with a what happened next story of their own. I wonder where they went on their new truly magnificent broom?
Once you've had your lovely story time, we'd like the children to have a go at writing the Super Sentence (we did these each week at school): Is there room on the broom?
There are some 'tricky tracker' words in this sentence (there, the) , feel free to write these words down for your child to copy, as well as the 'oo' sound (as in room and broom) that not all children have come across in their phonic sessions yet. I'm sure they will have fun with coming up with a few more 'oo' words - they usually get a giggle!
Good luck, and as always message us if you have any questions.
We LOVE hearing and seeing what you've been up to at home. Keep safe and keep learning! xx
