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!

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
This weeks topic focus is a history activity (you can find it in your Easter Pack).
Please see attached copy below.
We're looking forward to finding out more about your families too.

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 may also like to discuss whether they think Jack was right to take things from the giant.
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): Jack went up to the top.
Good luck, and as always message us if you have any questions.
As we can't get out and about in the shops it might be nice to set up your own play shop at home. You could count your money for the till, make some labels, make a sign for your shop, write a shopping list.....
Below are some other fantastic things you can do with coins (and shapes).
