Monday's Learning 

Good afternoon Penhallow. I hope you've been able to enjoy the sunshine today, what a beautiful day. I am sorry we didn't have any live sessions today but Mrs Batchelor will be back on Monday and I will be back on Wednesday. 

Thursday 4th March is 'World Book Day' - have a look at Monday's Learning grid for more about this - it's attached at the bottom of this blog. 

Keep reading over the weekend and letting us know by logging it on SeeSaw. Remember: 

You can find magic wherever you look
Sit back and relax, all you need is a book. 
(Dr Seuss). 
Have a good weekend, stay safe and I hope you can enjoy the sunshine.

I hope you have enjoyed learning about forces in Science. Did you find many things in your house or garden that you can push or pull? 
We hope you have enjoyed your first week of learning of our new enquiry 'How does your garden grow?'

Friday's enquiry: you will be finding out about different plants and trees by going on a hunt either in your garden, or on your daily walk.

REMINDER
If you haven't already done so - please could you send back the reflection of how you have felt about learning at home this half term. 

You did it! 

Congratulations on a very full and busy half term of home learning. We are so proud of all you for completing the learning activities, accessing and engaging so well in our live sessions together. We understand how tricky it can be with other commitments and having siblings to attend to as well. Thank you. 

Congratulations to Zach for being our Mathematician of the week :) 
Congratulations to Henry for being our Virtual Learner of the week :) 

As always it is so hard to choose someone as everyone has been working so hard.

Next week is half term. We hope you have a super holiday, rest and enjoying being with your family, fingers crossed for some snow! 

Online learning will continue on Tuesday 23rd February with Mrs Batchelor: 
Year 1: 9.30 for Live Session
Reception: 11am - Reception Live Session. 

Stay safe and have a lovely break.
Mrs Counsell, Mrs Batchelor, Mrs G and Ms Pickett. 

Friday's Learning

Apologies for this morning's live session, we missed those that couldn't join in. For some reason Teams couldn't decide which meeting we were using today. Tomorrow when you log on, please join the meeting that doesn't have the pencils picture. Fingers crossed it works tomorrow. After half term it will hopefully have sorted itself out. 

I hope you enjoyed learning about Valentine's Day and enjoyed the activities. Today we're going to be learning about Chinese New Year. I wonder what your name looks like in Chinese symbols? 

We would like to know how you have felt about learning at home this half term. On the bottom of the blog please find a reflection form for you to spend some time thinking about together at home. Please email back or take a photo. 


Please see below for today's learning grid which outlines which sessions are live and resources you will need to bring. 

Polite Reminder: Please remember not to bring any food or toys which could distract us from our learning in our live sessions. 

Assembly: Please join us at 11.00am for our whole-school assembly. There will be no YR live session today.

See you then

Mrs Counsell.
