Good morning Willow Class! I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

 This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, Visit the Whole School blog to watch Miss Morgan’s special Collective Worship for this week. During the week we are thinking about the value of kindness and how it can help us if we are feeling blue, like Lucy. Watch the video of Lucy’s Blue Day here:

This week it is important to remember that we sometimes have blue days, just like Lucy and it ok to feel like this sometimes. It is important to remember that we have lots of things that we can do to help us feel better. During this time, people might have more days than usual when they are feeling blue. It is important to remember that we are all in this together and things will get better. Here you can listen to the story ‘Lucy’s in Lockdown’

Good morning Willow Class, I hope you have all had a lovely week!

Thank you to everyone who has sent me work this week, all of your emails have made me smile. Keep sending your work through to admin@st-annes.wandsworth.sch.uk with Willow in the subject line.

Well done to Mayowa, Rithanna, Hal, Samuel, Jessica and Dasha who have all been busy playing on Sumdog this week. You will all receive an extra 50 coins when you next log in! 🙂

Let’s see what some of you have been up to this week…

Samuel has continued researching WW2 and found more newspapers from 1945! Wow, so interesting!

His sunflower seed has also started to grow 🙂

Samuel has also spotted some pigeon eggs in the garden, the eggs have now hatched. Look at the picture of the pigeon chicks!

Thank you to Milena for sending me her lovely letter this week telling me all about what she has been doing in lockdown. It made me smile to read it! Milena has also been busy working hard on spellings, using apostrophes and doing lots of maths! Keep it up Milena 🙂

Dasha has been very busy this week, she is her mum’s helper and has enjoyed doing lots of cooking and baking!

Dasha has also been doing dance lessons at home to keep fit and healthy. She has also started working on her time capsule booklet! This will be an amazing memory to keep and looking back on in the future. I love all the ideas for keeping busy at home 🙂

On Monday I set an emoji challenge – congratulations to Samuel for getting 20 out of 20! I am not going to post the answers just yet as I haven’t had any more guesses so I will give you all some extra time to complete it and email me your answers.

Over the weekend, remember to keep reading lots! I have set some reading challenges this week so if you complete any, remember to take a photo and send it to me. I would love to see how busy you have been!

Samuel has really enjoyed learning about VE day. He had a barbecue at home and learnt all about his great great grandfather who was alive during WW2. He watched a programme all about VE day on TV and looked at old newspapers which his grandad had! Wow, what a super historian you are Samuel!

Jessica created this lovely VE Day poster and wrote a diary imagining she was living in 1945! Well done Jessica!

Well done for all the learning you have been doing this week. Well done to Jessica, Mayowa, Clara, Malachijah, Dasha and James for playing on Sumdog this week!

Here is some more of the amazing learning from Willow Class this week:

Dasha has been a keen artist again by painting a beautiful picture using watercolours! Her sunflower has also started to grow!

Milena has been a very busy learner – she has completed some very tricky maths problems, has been practising Year 2 spelling words and has even had time for an amazing science experiment where she ‘grew’ a rainbow! Milena’s Rainbow Experiment

Jessica has been a busy author at work and has written her own Traction Man story. She also took part in the Mini Grey masterclass and drew her own Scrubbing Brush! She also thought of lots of interesting questions that she would like to ask Mini Grey – well done Jessica!

Jessica’s Traction Man Story

Keep working through all the activities on our Week 7 tasks and sending them through – I can’t wait to see even more of your learning.

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, Ms Steward is doing her amazing story times on Facebook live. We all love Ms Steward’s story telling so make sure you check them out! Find them on St Anne’s Facebook Page

Enjoy the bank holiday weekend and stay safe Willow Class!

Good morning Willow Class! Happy Monday!

I hope you all had lovely weekends. I spent some time in my garden and I’ve been reading lots. I also enjoyed watching some good films too! What did you enjoy doing?

This week the teachers have a special message for all of you!

This week, on Friday 8th May, we will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of VE day! What did you find out about VE day in your research last week? VE day marks the day when fighting ended in Europe at the end of WW2. People were so happy that they had celebrations and parties in their streets. Today, lots of people hold special tea parties and street parties for VE Day (I remember doing this when I was at primary school!)

This week I would like you to do some activities linked to VE Day. Here are some ideas:

• Have your own tea party in your house, bake some cakes or make sandwiches for your tea party
• Make some decorations, you could make flags or bunting
• Dress up in red, white and blue like people did in 1945 to celebrate VE Day
• Create some amazing artwork linked to WW2 and VE Day
• Design a special stamp, plate or mug to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day 

Send photos to admin@st-annes.wandsworth.sch.uk with Willow in the subject line and next week I can update the blog to show everyone’s celebrations!

Have a great week Willow Class – I look forward to seeing what you all get up to! 🙂

Mrs Levy
