Good morning Squirrels. I hope you all had a good weekend and enjoyed the sunshine.

I have some good news - the alien that crash landed at school has been seen around Plaistow. Yesterday it was spotted by the pond! Now that we now know what it looks like we need to spread the word. For your English today I would like you to create a wanted poster. It will need a picture of the alien and some writing describing it. Don’t forget you will need to tell people where to take the alien if they find it.

For the last 2 weeks we have been looking at measuring in maths. I would like you to continue practicing this. Today I would like to find out who is better at building towers - Squirrel class or Mums and Dads? You could build your towers out of different materials e.g. lego or recycling. Once finished you will need to measure your tower and see if it is taller than your parent’s tower.

Our word of the week is ‘the’. How many sentences can you think of using ‘the’?

Our sound of the week is ‘ay’ - may I play? How many words can you think of that contain this sound?

Just a few useful things for parents: Joe Wicks is providing a live PE session everyday on his youtube channel.

Also RWI (our phonics program) will also be running live lessons on their youtube channel - Ruth Miskin Training. We are very good at our phonics in Squirrel Class and I therefore recommend the set 2 and set 3 videos.
