Rabbits Home Learning – The Last Day of Term!

Good morning Rabbits and it’s almost the real holidays.  How exciting!  If we were in school I would have planned a lot of fun activities for your all, so here are my ‘remote learning’ activities to keep you busy today.

Crafts and Art:   These are some wonderful craft making videos and are easy to follow:

Puzzles: This website offers printable wordsearches with themes including Easter.  https://www.puzzles-to-print.com/easter-puzzles/index.shtml

I have also included a pdf which is an Easter Story comprehension.  I have not given the answers, but I will post these later today.

Easter Comprehension Friday 3rd  click on this to link to the pdf.

PSHE:  we would usually be spending an hour talking and working together – which is impossible now and I know many of you are missing one another.  I would like us all to do a task – to draw a field full of rabbits and each one is a member of our class.  Write on the rabbit the things that you like most about your classmate.  I will do the same today and I will post my picture at the end of the day.  If you can photograph and email your pictures to me, we will put up a Rabbits gallery.

Have a lovely, lovely Easter holiday.  I miss you all very much and look forward to when we all return to school in the future.

Support For Families during the closures

Please see the e-mail from Telford and Wrekin Council offering support for people in need.

Shropshire Telford & Wrekin Beam – Phone-based support

Over the last 2 weeks we have been working on how we can continue to provide support for the young people who access our drop-in services.

From 2nd April 2020, Shropshire Telford & Wrekin Beam will be offering a call-back telephone service.

Please note that we are not offering a crisis or instant response service.

The support being offered is purely phone-based.  We cannot provide support via email, text/messaging apps or on video calling platforms.

Accessing call-back support:

Young people can email us at AskBeam@childrenssociety.org.uk asking for support.  Once they have emailed, an automatic response will ask for some more information.  When this has been completed, a team member will contact them to discuss what help they need, and when the best time would be for a practitioner to call them.

Calls will be booked in with our practitioners within our usual drop-in times.

Accessing support without a call back:

Where a young person does not want to talk but still needs some support, they can still contact us via AskBeam@childrenssociety.org.uk.  We can send details of online resources, information and apps which can offer support.

Information for Professionals:

You can signpost any young people who you feel would benefit from knowing more about this offer to our website https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/beam/coronavirus.

You can also pass on the details as to how they get in touch with us.  Please ask the young person to contact us via AskBeam@childrenssociety.org.uk.

We won’t be able to contact young people unless the request for contact from our service has come from the young person or their parent/carer.

For all young people who are aged 13 and under, their parent/carer will need to make a request on the young person’s behalf.

As with our face to face drop-ins, the young person should want to engage with us, and be able to do so over the phone.

Information for Parents/carers:

If you feel your child(ren)/young person would benefit from our support, please take a look at our website https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/beam/coronavirus.

For young people aged 13+ please ask them to contact us via AskBeam@childrenssociety.org.uk.

For young people who are aged 13 and under, you will need to contact us on their behalf via AskBeam@childrenssociety.org.uk.

As with our face to face drop-ins, the young person should want to engage with us, and be able to do so over the phone.

We will continue to innovate and adapt as we need to. This is an enormous effort from every corner of The Children’s Society to ensure we can continue to offer support to the children and young people we work with.  For more information about how our charity is working at the moment, or to donate to our emergency Coronavirus appeal, please go to our website at https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/

Rabbits Home Learning for Thursday 2nd April

Good Morning Rabbits and I hope you are still enjoying yourselves.  I have had some photographs from you getting stuck into the fun and learning which is lovely to see.  For today, there are some more activities and the following things for you to do.

Maths:  Please log on to MyMaths for some shape revision and please have a go at the TTRockstars.  Miss Whit does a round up of the winning house each week.

English: Please can you work on the grammar and comprehension tasks set on Education City.  I also set some tasks on ReadingEggspress for today and tomorrow.  These will help with reading and also your writing.  The tasks should be set under my name now – not Mrs Hollis.  I have solved the glitch!

Writing: Please complete a diary entry for today.  I would like you to imagine that you are your pet, imagine what they are making of you staying home all of the time?  What would your pet be saying if they could write their own diary about how odd things are at the moment?  Please remember to include the date and write it as if it happened in the past.

Exercise: Keep up with Joe Wicks if you can.  I know some of you are able to get out for nice walks so that is important.

Reading: Reading Eggs have two good books for you to read.  Can you also take a look at the youtube link to listen to the Enid Blyton book “Castle Of Adventure” and try to get that finished by the end of the week.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ye_PRvT7ik

Rabbits Home Learning for Wednesday 1st April

Happy April Fool’s Day and pinch, punch, first of the month to you all.

Reading and Comprehension:  Well Rabbits, for a bit of a change, I have set some lovely reading work on ReadingEggs but you need to click on to the ReadingEggspress – there you will find a picture of yourself – there will be a note from me to explain how to do the reading tasks.  There are also spellings for you to work through.  Remember to look for the two books that I have chosen for you to read.  They are quite funny, Pirates and Shark’s Fin Island.  If you click on ‘library’ they are there for you to open and read.

Maths: There are a few My Maths tasks set and you can work through these until the end of the week.  I have included fractions, shape and some general addition tasks to keep your little grey cells (brains) well oiled.

Cards:  I hope you were able to find some things to make an Easter Card.  I found this lovely instruction film of making paper rabbits for Easter – have a look and see if you can make them too.  Send me photos of your bunnies please!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zL_EQkqrmg

Keep on sending your pictures of the lovely activities that you have been doing whilst at home.  It is lovely to see how much fun you are all having.

Good Morning Rabbits

I hope you had fun making cards yesterday – let me have pictures when you have finished them won’t you?

Today:  English Grammar  these are set on Education City and should keep you busy with fronted adverbials.

Maths:  there are maths tasks on My Maths – these are fractions and division tasks.  Do your best!

Writing:  Can you please take the key words from this week’s spelling list and write up full sentences with each word.

Topic:  I have been seeing some wonderful topic activities that you have been doing.  Remember to take a task from the grid that we made and work on something different today.  You might like to think about the daily act of kindness at this time of year.  Again, keep a note of this in your diary.

I hope you enjoy today’s activities.  I miss you all!  Mrs Cooke

Rabbits step-by-step guide to making an Easter Chick card.

Good morning Rabbits – well it’s the last day of the month today and I thought it was time to get making some cards for Easter.  I hope you practiced some of those key words from the spelling list to avoid making little mistakes.

I have photographed myself making the card in a step-by-step method and also written down the instructions below. Good luck!

IMG_8083 IMG_8086 IMG_8091 IMG_8093 IMG_8095 IMG_8096 IMG_8097 IMG_8098 (1) IMG_8100 IMG_8101ds

Card making:  Take some paper and draw an oval shape.  It needs to be about the size of your hand.  Put your fingers together and draw around the outside of your hand then ‘perfect’ the shape by re-drawing until you have the correct egg-shape.

Draw a zig-zag line towards the top – as if the top of the egg is cracking open.

Colour your egg in any design you like.

Cut the zig-zag lines so that you have two pieces of egg now, cut open as if you have cut the top off a boiled egg.

Now draw a little chick’s head.  A circle and a beak, 2 eyes and yellow fluff or coloured pen/pencil.

Stick the chick at the top of the egg as if it is poking out of its egg.  When you are happy with the position you can then stick the top of the egg onto the chick’s head.

Fold a piece of paper into a card shape, stick the egg and chick onto the card.  The rest is up to you!  I have included photos of the activity for you to follow.

Rabbits Learning and Activities for Monday 30th March

Good morning Rabbits and I hope you had a lovely weekend.

I had a great time googling some wonderful activity and learning sites for you and here is a list of the best ones that I found.

New Learning Games:  National Geographic have some super games that are about our world and environment.  https://www.natgeokids.com/uk/category/play-and-win/games/

Dinosaurs:  I know that some of you are really keen on learning about dinosaurs, the Natural History Museum has a great page with lots of interesting information about the earliest fossils and what dinosaurs did.  Have a look.  https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover.html

The Castle Of Adventure:  I managed to find a version on youtube of the book that we began reading in class.  It lasts for 2 hours but you can listen in short sections.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ye_PRvT7ik

Esio Trot:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXD4yrJJz5o  this is a lovely version of the Roald Dahl book that some of you were reading this term.

Pillow Case Challenge:  Thinking about shape, I have been trying out a test for you all to do yourselves and photograph it.  Take a pillow case and fold it to make another shape, you should be able to make triangles, squares, a hexagon and an octagon.  I have just about managed to make a pentagon.  Fold corners, remember that you might need to keep re-folding to make a simple shape such as a triangle.

Maths and English: There are maths and English tasks set for you on Education City and MyMaths.  Please keep on working through these.

Spellings:  There is a new list today.  Please copy these words out for handwriting practice, then use some of them in some Easter Cards that you will create for your family.

Easter Cards:  Follow the instructions for making a pretty Easter card for your family and friends.

Have a lovely day!  Mrs Cooke
