Today is Chinese New Year!
Happy Friday Castle Class! It's the last day of Term 3 but it's also the first day of the year of the Ox in the Chinese Lunar calendar!
Please try logging on to EExAT today and submitting some work with a short, specific caption about the learning that has taken place and the level of support needed, and where.
Our zoom link has been emailed to you on Sunday evening.
See you at 9am for Phonics and 1:45pm for RE with Mrs Good! :)
As it is the last day of this term, we just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to you all for your hard work and co-operation during this really challenging time. We hope you enjoy a week off from home learning and we all have our fingers crossed that we'll see you very soon.
Today's tasks are as follows. Have a great day!

Daily Zoom session: Our tricky words this week are: was, and all. We will be practicing recognizing tricky words, recapping all phase 3 learnt so far. We will then play the game 'Train your brain' Phase 3 on Phonics play looking at: you are was all and putting them into sentences.
Follow up activity: Play Tricky Word Trucks game on Phonics Play- Phase 2, All HFW. (Free log in)

Writing:
Think of your own sentence with our new tricky words in: was, all, (you, are)
For example: 'He was hot all day.' 'The book was torn.'
You can use your past flashcards to build a sentence if you need some inspiration!
Then write this in your exercise book, photograph it and upload it to EExAT for Miss Hunt to see with a short and specific caption outlining what they could do and how much support they needed to be successful.
Fine Motor Skills:
Fine motor skills are the skills that allow you to make small movements with your
hands- developing these supports pencil control.
Challenge: Using scissors!
Use a pair of scissors with adult supervision to practice your cutting skills. You can draw some straight or curved lines on paper and cut along them, or you can cut into a paper plate/ toilet role to make them into other things. See pictures below for activity inspiration!
