Well done!

At the end of week three of home learning, we just wanted to say a huge well done to you all. We know it is not easy – we have lots of staff here in the same situation so we really do empathise with how hard it is!

Don’t be hard on yourselves or your children if you didn’t understand or couldn’t keep up. Let us know if you need anything and we will try to facilitate it.

Now that we are more into the swing of things, the weekly timetable has evolved so you may find that you have more Zoom sessions, so please check the website regularly.

Most of our children are at home, and so they are our top priority. Please be assured that the same work is being done by the home-learners as the ones in school. The teacher’s are working tirelessly to ensure that gaps don’t emerge between the two groups, but we need all families on board with this as well as engaging with everything that is on offer to the best of their abilities.

If you are not engaging with the Zoom sessions or submitting work regularly, you must let the teacher know why.  As a school, we have to record home-school engagement, just as we would usually take a register in school. We are asked for this data by the local authority regularly and the Education Welfare Officer will contact families who aren’t engaging.

Many thanks again to you all – keep up the good work and have a lovely weekend. Mrs Williams

Hi Pandas!  Happy Friday…

Thank you so much for your wonderful work and great effort you put into it.  I realise how hard it is to be motivated – especially three weeks in – but you are doing a great job!

Today we will focus on catching up and trying some other activities.  Like last Friday, we can do lots of lovely Friday things…

Jigsaws, board games, play word games; try the ‘Tell Me More’ game, escape in a good book or comic, how about building a den somewhere with some sheets and cushions, the possibilities are endless. If you need some more suggestions or fancy a challenge try the following:

RE: The Gospel

The Gospel is a collection of stories about Jesus from which Christians can learn from. What would a Christian learn from the way Jesus behaves in this story?

Can you think of another story about Jesus? What would a Christian learn from your story?

I would like you to create a 6 or 8 picture storyboard of the story you have chosen and state what is learnt from the story.

We can then create a Gospel of our own with different stories about Jesus.

Home learning survey

Please could we ask that you take a few moments to complete this short survey to help us improve what we are doing for our learners.

Snow Leopards

Good morning Snow Leopards. I hope you are well.

This week we have lots of exciting things planned. I hope you will join us at home.

Cooking ~ We will be making cupcakes (appropriate COVID guidance,1 household per bake) We are making a Victoria Sponge. Talking to the children about measuring and quantities. They will help to pour, mix and scoop the ingredients into their cupcake case.
We will be setting a timer for the children to keep an eye on, allowing them to become more aware of lengths of time.

Planting ~ Our spider plants in nursery have sprouted little plants so we have placed each in their own pot. We will be watching a short clip about the growth of plants.
We are encouraging each child to tend to their own plant, ensuring it is getting plenty of sunshine and water.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b06yml8y/something-special-were-all-friends-series-10-6-growing
The children can also learn some Makaton signs relating to gardening.

Dingle Dangle Scarecrow ~ A short, enjoyable song for the children to join in and dance too!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXxa2SVlQyE

PE ~ We will be taking part in a short session. We will start by warming up our bodies (Sticky Kids on youtube), then play ‘Walk the Plank’ – Apply masking tape to the floor in a long straight line or draw a line using chalk outside. Encourage the children to walk carefully along the line ensuring they don’t wobble off!
You can make the activity more challenging by balancing a beanbag or cushion on their head. If this is still too easy experiment with different ways of moving; hopping, skipping, sidesteps or walking backwards – but remember… don’t fall off!

Remember to continue short phonics activities with your child.
https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/reading/reading-schemes-oxford-levels/read-write-inc-phonics-guide/#set1
Only practice set 1 sounds, there are videos to help you and lots of resources for your children to enjoy.

I hope you enjoy these activities. Please take photos and add them to Dojo for us to see all of your hard work!

Stay safe

Phonics – Ruth Miskin Live Lessons for Set 1,2 & 3 schedule.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7fbLgY2oA_cFCIg9GdxtQ

Carry on with your set’s schedule each day.

I have added a sheet with all of the sounds in each set.

phonics_sounds_set_1__2_and_3-2

Can you ask your child to tell you the sounds in the set they are working on.  If you point to each sound in turn, then ask them which sound it is.  If they know if securely, straight away then tick it off.  If they are not sure (which is fine) then you know these are the ones to focus on.  If you are on Set 3, you can access Mrs Suthers on YouTube, she has lessons which cover all of the sounds in that set. I will put a link to one of her lessons then that will guide you to the other sounds too. These are good as extra practice when the Ruth Miskin Live Lessons have been taken down.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd2e2_wA5Vk&list=PLgOhlF-WgdLtgymeyCrCwbA0iivcCgQpd&index=27

English – Year 1 – Reception can choose this too if you would like to continue with The Magic Paint Brush. If not, follow the Reception work.

In this lesson (3), we will be deepening the understanding of a recount through role play.  Spellings within the video too.

https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/to-deepen-understanding-of-a-recount-through-roleplay-cgv38c

English – Reception – In this lesson (1), we will learn how to listen to and respond to a story through games and nursery rhymes.

https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/to-listen-to-and-respond-to-a-story-6hjkcr  

Maths

Year 1 –  Addition and Subtraction. This work is for today and tomorrow.

Yr-1-Spring-Block-1-Addition-and-Subtraction

Reception – In this lesson, we will be adding and using a number track to support counting on to ten.

https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/adding-two-numbers-using-a-number-track-to-count-on-cmvk0t  

Geography – Looking at the features of the Polar regions.

Enjoy reading the book ‘Where Snowflakes Fall’.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke4zZD8R0E4&t=3s 

In this lesson (1) we learn where polar habitats are located on a world map and identify features of them. We also learn some ways that animals have adapted to be able to survive in such extreme conditions.

https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/to-identify-features-of-a-polar-habitat-and-locate-them-on-a-globe-6gw30r

Challenge (this can be done at any time) – to build an igloo!  Your igloos don’t have to be exactly the same as on the video.  Use anything you have to hand. Some suggestions: Cotton wool balls, marshmallows, ice cubes or card board tubes cut into rings.

Have a lovely day
