Cassatt class home learning

Buzz, buzz, buzz... 

that's the sound of Cassatt class being busy bees!

It has been another busy start to the week for the children of Cassatt class. In fact, for their literacy, they started work on their new story The Very Busy Spider! They have also been keen mathematicians, practising addition and working with teen numbers. 

It was a real pleasure to see all of the children on the Zoom call this week. Their confidence to speak with their teachers and peers and the patience they demonstrated whilst waiting for their turn made the Cassatt teachers feel very proud. I must say I felt rather inspired myself! I've started to practise my sewing and have been reading about dinosaurs, Mrs Erdogan is tending to her own seedlings to make sure they grow, and Mrs William's is using information books to brush up on her knowledge about Ninja Turtles! 

I am always so excited to see all the activities you have been doing at home. Opening my emails from the Cassatt families is my favourite job at the moment! Do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like to share some home learning, or if you would like to ask any questions; I will try my very best to support in any way that I can: cassatt@windhill.herts.sch.uk

Now, I mustn't keep all these wonderful pockets of learning to myself! Have a look at just some of the things that the children in Cassatt have been doing at home!

 Literacy

The children have been really enjoying the Ruth Miskin spelling videos! They have also been writing sentences and creating lists and labels based on their Minibeast topic.

Maths

From brain-growing addition sheets to using counting and measuring skills when baking, the children are working hard on their maths learning.

Understanding of the world

Bee watering pools, fuzzy caterpillars and spiky hedgehogs, oh my! Lots of the children are really looking after all the creatures they are finding out and about. There has also been a rather exciting volcano experiment taking place in a number of gardens; take cover!

Expressive Arts and Design

With inspiration drawn from books they have read, the children have been colouring, drawing, sticking and folding their way to magnificent pieces of art.

Please do keep sharing your home learning with me.

I can't wait to see what you all get up to next...!

Take good care,

Miss Lawrence
