Welcome back to Term 6 Team Cyan and Team Turquoise. We absolutely loved the video that you made and it made us miss you all so much. 

This term our key worker children have moved back to Chilton Primary School site and we will be slowly welcoming some children back. For this reason we will be uploading a weekly blog post rather than a daily blog post. Please find a weeks worth of home learning on this post underneath our padlet page. Padlet will stay at the top of the post for easy access. 

 

 

 

Check out our new 'Padlet' pages to help us stay in touch!

 

 

 

Viking Games -  Weekly Challenge

THE VIKING GAMES ARE BACK!!!!!! but not as you know it. 

This year we will be holding the ‘Viking Isolation games’. Throughout term 6 we will set you two challenges a week. The challenges have been designed so you can take part at home. Any of the equipment used we hope you have lying around. We even use a toilet roll and tea bag! 

We would love as many of you to get involved and you could even challenge your parents! 

How many challenges you do is entirely up to you it is all about having fun and keeping active. The Viking Games is competed in houses, so we would like you to wear your house colours when completing the challenges. 

We would love to see you having a go so if you would like to send in pictures and videos to us please send them in to your school’s sport coach (please only send in videos and pictures if your child has parental permission for them to go on social media.)

The email address is: emma.knight@chiltonprimary.co.uk

We look forward to seeing as many of you take part as possible. Have fun!

Phonics
