Whole-school Learning Focus
In order to enhance our learning, and allow siblings to work together, we have decided that each Monday we will have a whole-school focus on an interesting topic.
It is all linked to the curriculum and we have extended it for different ages, but we felt working together would support the learning process.
Below are the learning tasks for today. The tasks that have 'essential' next to them must be completed. Once the essential tasks have been completed, you can choose from the choice tasks.
This week's theme is 'Love, Kindness, Self-Belief and Friendship'.
The theme is based on the book 'The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse', maybe some of you are lucky enough to have this beautiful and inspiring book, so please use it today! During lock down you might have seen some of Charlie Mackesy images that he created to thank key workers.
The task overview and the resources are below. All the links needed for each task are underneath the task overview.
LINKS AND RESOURCES
ESSENTIAL TASK 1 - DISCUSSION
For Reception/KS1 please don't listen to the whole book if you feel it is too long for your child. You could listen to it all but revisit and focus on a few of the pages.
