Red Class looked at non-fiction books about dinosaurs.
We wrote facts about a dinosaur that:
flew
or stood on two legs
or had a long tail
We asked why the dinosaurs looked like this. Look at our facts. Dinosaurs have superpowers!
Guess which number we started with…
Red class can count 1 more than the number we started with. We looked at a number, counted 1 more, then showed the answer on our fingers. Which number did we start with?
Look at the way we made this number. Can you tell what it is?
This week we all wrote to our teddy bears to invite them to 1L’s virtual picnic! We all made our sandwiches together and enjoyed eating together. We had a lovely time!
Thank you to Firdaouz, Kevin and Stephany for these lovely photos!
Koray made this fantastic art work which represented the things he liked and the things he needs to show resilience about. We have been writing our version of ‘The Promise’. Haasya has been working on publishing her excellent story! Here is the beginning of Summer’s story. What amazing use of language! This is part of Kai’s story. There are some good similes in here! Ines has also written an exciting story. Here’s her introduction. Summer has also been thinking about the things she’s grateful for.Blenda drew this lovely picture of the view from where she works.Hawa got creative when she made a book for her ‘Promise’ story!She also showed great perseverance and skill to draw this perspective drawing! Another great perspective drawing from Haasya. That tunnel looks scary!
Today we made sandwiches together and enjoyed a picnic. First we invited a guest to our picnic and brought them along with us.
Next we had to make our sandwiches. Some of us went to our kitchen and some of us set up a station at our table. Then we spread the butter on our bread and filled our sandwiches with yummy fillings.
Here are some pictures showing us making our sandwiches and most importantly enjoying them on our virtual picnic.
As you will be aware, the government has ordered that from Monday 4th January, all London primary schools will be required to provide remote learning to the vast majority of their children.
At Holbeach, we are providing Remote Learning via Microsoft Teams. Your child will need to log in to their online classroom using the log in details the school provided you with previously. They will then have access to the following timetable each day:
Time
Activity
9:15am – 10:15am
‘Live Lesson’ with your class teacher (via Teams)
10:15am – 10:30am
Assembly (via Teams-click into your Teams Calendar to access this everyday)
10:30am – 11:00am
Morning Break
11:00am – 12:00pm
‘Live Lesson’ with your class teacher (via Teams)
12:00pm – 1:00pm
Lunch Break
1:00pm – 2:00pm
‘Live Lesson’ with your class teacher (via Teams)
2:00pm – 3:30pm
Independent Learning Time (class teachers will provide suggestions for activities that the children can try away from Teams)
For your children, learning in this way will be a relatively new experience. Therefore, it is vital that you take the time to look through the agreements for Remote Learning below.
While we appreciate that very young children will always require a significant amount of time and attention from the adult that they are with at home, we are confident that your experience of the remote learning we are providing this term will be a positive one. Feedback from the parents and carers in the classes who are experiencing this kind of learning has been hugely encouraging.

Wowzers Red Class, another fantastic week of home learning. You are all doing so well, we’re really proud of all of you.
Here is some of the incredible work you have done this week.
This week we have been working on The Gingerbread Man. We told the story with lots of actions, we built up a story map with characters, labels and settings. We drew characters from the story with speech bubbles. Then, at the end of the week we made story maps with our own animals in.
We had a lot of fun with our magical maths remotes, the maths magic was so strong, I got very dizzy from all the spin buttons you were pressing!
