Panda Class Home Learning Thursday 25th February

Hi Pandas,

Have you got your questions ready for our Road Safety Zoom on Friday? Road Safety Ray is looking forward to talking to you.

Our new class member, Panda is settling in well.  He is having a good look around.

Phonics – follow your schedule.

English – All Pandas  This can be done over 2 days.

Our text is Ruby’s Worry by Tom Percival

Reading aloud and key talking points:
Before you begin to read, look at the front cover and read the title of the book. Ask the children what they think they might already know about the girl on the cover. What do they think might happen in her story?

Read aloud up to ‘Ruby was perfectly happy.’ hiding the final sentence ‘Until one day…’. Think together about the things that make Ruby happy. What do they have in common with Ruby? What makes them happy?

Continue to read aloud to ‘…she was worrying about it!’ Do they think Ruby is doing the right thing? What do they think Ruby should do about her worry?

Read on up to ‘…she would never feel happy again.’ Pause to consider what Ruby says here. Do they have any ideas for how to make Ruby happy again?

Continue reading on to ‘Could it be a worry?’ How do they think Ruby feels when she sees the boy? What do they think she might be thinking?

Read to the end of the book. How did Ruby get rid of her worry in the end? What do you think she learnt about being worried?

After reading, encourage the children to tell you what they liked about the book. Was there anything they disliked?

What did it make them think about?  Do they have any worries of their own?

Do they have any questions about the book? How did it make them feel? Has there ever been a time where anything like this has ever happened to them or to someone else they know?

Snow Leopards

Good Morning Snow Leopards.
We are very excited to be hopefully seeing you all again very soon!

 

This week’s agenda for nursery:
We have been kindly donated a Puppet Show. We will be designing and making our own puppets using socks, googly eyes, craft pieces, templates (links below) and paint.
Once made and dried the children will create stories and perform at the Puppet Show!

Maybe you could join in at home! We would love to see your creations.

https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/au-t2-d-119-design-and-create-a-hand-puppet-craft-instructions

Find a space around your house – over the arm of the chair, the table, the worktop or if you are feeling creative you could make your own theatre out of a cupboard box! Anywhere you could hide behind to perform your puppet show will be perfect.
Please feel free to record your show and upload them onto Dojo. We would love to see what you have come up with!

We watched a short clip on puppet shows on the whiteboard to give the children an idea of what a puppet show really is. I have added the links below.

On the topic of socks we have linked this to maths – matching the odd socks, counting the socks and attempting simple number problems.
– Can you match up the socks?
– Can you count the pairs?
– Can you count them individually?
– Are there any odd socks?
– Can you hang them on a washing line? (fine motor skills)
– Can you work out simple number problems?

Story time: Simon Sock
(The story can be found on YouTube)

I am always available on Dojo if you have any queries or questions
Take care

Panda Class Home Learning Wednesday 24th February

Hi Pandas,

We have a new Panda in class!!

He is a little bit nervous at the moment and he doesn’t have a name. Do you think you could think of a name for him? Message me on Class Dojo and I will put all the suggestions in a bag, and pull one out!  We’ve had some great suggestions so far.  I think he will feel better when he has a nice name.

He is beginning to explore the classroom, I will take photos of him and show you what he gets up to.  He’s really looking forward to meeting you all!

For today:

Carry on with Ruth Miskin’s Live Phonics lessons.

Also, have a go at blending some sounds to read the words.

ccvc-words-blending-powerpoint

Year 1 – Carry on with the spelling booklet; don’t forget, you may not know them all yet, but with lots of practice you will get better and better at spelling the words.

Reception –  This is the Read Write Inc list of spellings for Reception (Year 1, check you know these words too – reading and spelling). Read the words in set 1 and see if your child can spell any. Work on them if they are not known yet. When set 1 are done, move on to set 2.

Go through the booklet, this can be done on the screen, if you don’t want to print it out. Verbal feedback is fine – chat with your child about the question and the possible answers; let them have some thinking time and then choose the correct answer.

 

Enjoy this non-fiction book about Pandas.

Panda Class Home Learning Tuesday 23rd February

Hi Pandas,

I was pleased to see the Phonics was back online this morning; they are continuing with Home Learning lessons, so that’s great.  Keep at it, they are such a wonderful resource to be able to access.

Maths

Year 1.  Continue with measuring with work sheet number 2 ‘Measuring Length 2’.  Yesterday’s work raised some interesting questions about non-standard units of measurement, and how, if the method of measuring is different, then even though two items may measure 4 units long – if the measurement method changes then they may not be the same length. See questions 2 and 3 from Monday’s work to check. It raised a lot of discussion in school – even with 2 children!

Y1-Spring-Block-3-WO3-Measure-length-2-2019

Reception – How did the Home Measuring Challenge go?

More measuring today. See how you get on comparing height.

eyfs-maths-height-home-learning-challenge-how-tall-is-your-toy

English – All Pandas

Have a look through the story of The Dot again

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpmNXbkLu6c&t=2s 

Find the list of emotions from yesterday’s work – Can you find new words that mean the same as the ones you chose yesterday? For example, here in class, we said that at the beginning Vishti was/looked  angry – another word for angry is cross.

Angry – Cross, and so on…

Then can you think of a colour that matches that emotion? I think we may choose red for the start where she seems angry. You could colour over the words in colours of your choice, to match the emotions.

 

Have a go at this feelings worksheet.

feelings-worksheets

 

Continue with your spellings.  See yesterday’s spelling booklet.

Here is a link to having opportunities to practice your handwriting.

 

History – All Pandas

We are looking at the life of Neil Armstrong, this half term.  Key question::  Was Neil Armstrong an explorer, like Christopher Columbus?  Discuss what you think.

Watch the PowerPoint and then complete the time line.  There are a few time line formats to choose from, use the one that suits your child. Reception, you may want to use the pictures, to order the events of his life. Year 1 you may want to choose to do some writing – aim high!  Would you like to be an astronaut?

Neil Armstrong PowerPoint

Neil Armstrong Timeline Activity Sheet

 

How are you getting on with reading?  There are lots of books available online and I can put new books in the reception area for those of you who pass by school. Just let me know, and I can sort some out.

Enjoy this story, one of my favourites.. Whatever next? by Jill Murphy

Today’s activity relates to a world famous American basketball player called ‘Michael Jordan’. Watch the video below to learn about his life and his achievements.

Although he became one of the most successful players of all time, it wasn’t an easy path to become the player he was. He needed to have a lot of motivation in order to overcome the set backs he faced.

Below are some story cards so you can learn his story. Read through the cards and then cut them out to see if you can put them back in the correct order.

Rhino Home Learning – Monday 22.2.21

Good Morning,

I really hope you had a lovely half term break and had plenty of time to relax.

I’m not sure yet how much longer we will have to continue our Home Learning, but we are hoping for an announcement from the Prime Minister later today. So we will now just have to wait and see.

This half term I will continue with the same routine of daily lessons which are a direct reflection on the learning in class each day.

Good luck today and do your best!

The Oak academy have designed a series of video lessons for developing narrative writing based around the BFG. We actually completed lessons 1 and 2 earlier in the term at the beginning of the lockdown. Once we are back school, I will be delivering a writing unit based on the BFG so this seems like an obvious focus to continue with between now and then.
