Panda Class Monday 20th April 2020

Hello Panda Parents/Carers, I hope you are all well and have had a good Easter break.

Thank you so much for your continued positivity in continuing to support your child’s learning at home. The sunflowers are all doing well and getting quite tall! I will send some pictures on ClassDojo.

I have put together some links for this week’s learning.

There are links to:

How to use the correct letter formation when forming lower case letters. If at all possible, please do all 26 over the next couple of weeks. This uses the Read Write Inc rhymes too which your child will recognise. I really believe that using the correct letter formation from the start is far easier than having to undo ‘bad habits’ in later years.

Talk for Writing – This is in the form of a booklet which guides children and their adults through guided literacy exercises. This is a great resource and starts with a text and then followed by lots of ‘talk for writing’, so important for early writers.

In Maths this week we are looking at Composition using the Part / Whole Method. (Adding 2 numbers to find the whole/total). To put this in to more context there is a link to The Main Areas of Early Years Maths (From the National Centre for excellence in the teaching of Mathematics) Then there is a link to a YouTube video showing the Part / Whole model for adding.

I hope you have a great week – if you need any help/support at all please do contact me through ClassDojo.

Best wishes

Updated handwashing advice and resources from government

Updated handwashing advice

It is essential that everyone washes their hands more often, using soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Hand washing with soap employs mechanical action that loosens bacteria and viruses from the skin, rinsing them into the drain. Drying hands afterwards makes the skin less hospitable to the virus. Hand sanitiser can be effective if soap is not available or the situation makes using soap less feasible (i.e. when outside) but using hand sanitiser provides none of the virus-destroying friction that rubbing your hands together and rinsing with water provides.

The latest guidance and video on hand washing can be found at:

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public

The e-Bug project is led by Public Health England and has a dedicated webpage for learning resources on hand washing and respiratory hygiene.

Resources are currently available for KS1, KS2 and KS3 and can be used in various settings including schools and at home:

Rainbows and Hearts Wanted

Can you help us to create a lovely display of rainbows and hearts for when we all get back together at school?

We would love it if you could spend some of your time on a little art project for us to hang up at school to celebrate us all being together again. It could be a drawing, something made of pipe cleaners, lolly sticks, salt dough, quilling, pom poms, bottle tops, cereal boxes, tissue paper or hama beads – the ideas are endless. Just use what you’ve got at home already. Decorate your house with it for now, then bring it to school when we go back. We will create a big tree of rainbows and hearts.

Thank you and have fun.

Tiger Class – Easter Break suggestions

Dear Tigers,

as per my post yesterday, I have prepared a summary of the links and activities I have shared with you during the first two weeks of home-learning, so that you can revisit anything the children particularly enjoyed or explore anything you might have missed the first time around. The idea is that having these resources in a single list would make it easier for you to find anything you are particularly keen to try with the children.

As also mentioned yesterday, I will continue to post ideas of fun activities every weekday in our Class Dojo, in case you need some inspiration of how to keep the cubs occupied (and learning)!

Hope this is useful!

Tiger Class Easter Holidays

As you know, yesterday was this half-term’s last school day and we are now officially on Easter Holidays! We were then advised not to issue any School work for the next two weeks. And as I am not a fan of homework for the holidays, if you intend to take this time off, have a lovely break with your families!

For those, like me, who will continue to do some “school work” throughout the holidays – mainly to maintain some routine for all of us – tomorrow I will be posting a summary of everything I have shared so far, so you can revisit things you might have forgortten about or explore anything you might have missed.

I will also post some fun activities, on our Class Dojo, every weekday during the holidays to help you keeping the cubs occupied.

Please note these are just ideas and I have no expectation of the children working during the holidays. It is just so you have a choice on how best to manage this unusual school break.

Hope this all makes sense and you find it useful.

Please let me know if there’s anything specifically you would like me to share.
