Panda Class Overview of Learning w/c 22nd June 2020

Hello Panda Parents,

We’ve all been working so hard this week: at home and at school, in our bubbles.  Well done and a big thank you to all.

Maths – This week in maths we are looking at halving and odd / even numbers.  Collect an even number of small items, count them so you both know how many there are at the start. Perhaps use some food for a teddy bears picnic.  Have 2 plates and share the food out equally. Make sure the sharing is fair.  Then progress this to start with an odd number of items and talk about what happens when you have shared fairly but there is a left over, this must mean we started with an odd number of items. Talk about odd and even numbers. Encourage your child to draw pictures to record their findings. Children could build towers with odd and even numbers of bricks, again, draw what they have found out and discuss odd and even numbers. ‘An odd number is a number that cannot be shared out fairly between 2 people.’

We can also complete any maths activity sheets from last week too – these are good to keep revisiting basic number operations.

Phonics – In phonics this week we are revising recognising and writing, correctly, all of the set one sounds.  I have sent a link to the set one sounds so you know which ones they are.  I have also added a video clip to see how the letters should be formed.  The correct letter formation is important to crack at an early age then children don’t start with habits which are hard to break later on in school.  Ultimately, the aim is for older children to have cursive handwriting and the correct formation is vital for this to be successful.

The link below shows which letters/sounds are in which set.

The link below is a link to the parents area of Read Write Inc phonics where you will find lots of resources for reading and phonics in general.

There re some writing/phonics sheets too which will hopefully be fun and help to cement our phonics.  The sentences in bold should, ideally, be read by the children with your support.

If I can be of help with anything please let me know.  Have a great week.

Snow Leopards

Hello Snow Leopards. Hope you are all well and enjoying your week.

We have been busy in school this week working on ‘Jack and the beanstalk’ activities. We have familiarised ourselves with the story and watched the animation on the whiteboard.

We have also taken part in lots of activities relating to the story including:
1. Taking turns to re-tell the story to peers using props and imagination.
2. Jack and the beanstalk maze – focusing on pencil control (Twinkl)
3. Number sequencing – leaves on the beanstalk
4. Growing our own ‘Magic’ beans 1

We are going to try out a little science experiment this week. As we have already done for planting we thought we’d continue and grow some cress. Why don’t you try this at home?
We are going to grow them in soil, outdoors, in the shade, in cotton wool and using a wet paper towel. We will have a group discussion to predict what we think might happen. I will add some photos to Class Dojo to keep you updated!

Take care.
Jodie

Year 6 Leavers Hoodies

A Massive “THANK YOU” to Mrs Cheryl Collins who kindly organised the hoodies for this years leavers. She volunteers to do this every year but we know that this year has been quite a challenge.

The hoodies have been hand delivered to the Year 6 pupils by Mr Hughes and Mrs Smith and according to reports from home,  have been living in them ever since 🙂

Panda Class Overview of Learning w/c 15th June 2020

Hi Panda Class – I hope you have had a good week.  Our first week back at school went well.

All of the activities below are being done in school and will be fine for work at home too.

Maths – This week in maths in class we are recapping recognising and writing accurately our numbers to 20.
Then, there are a series of Maths Activity sheets which all involve working with numbers to 20 and other aspects of maths.

Maths Activity Mats 15th June

Please aim to complete all the sheets in a week. If your child does not like sitting to complete the work, by all means work practically where possible and use resources to hand to pose similar questions.

Reading – Please aim to read each day with your child. There are resources on Oxford Owls website if you have run out of books.

Phonics – Ruth Miskin’s Read Write Inc work is still being shown on line – the first lesson is at 9:30 am daily, but if you don’t see that one then they are usually available to view at another time. Please review all Set 1, 2 & 3 sounds. The aim is for your child to say the sound when shown and then to be able to have a go at writing the sounds accurately too.

Writing – As we are growing runner beans in school, I thought it would be nice to read the story of Jack and The Beanstalk with the children. The writing activity this week is to use the writing prompt pictures to think of a sentence, rehearse it, say it out loud and write the sentences about the pictures shown.

Jack and the Beanstalk writing activity

Something a bit different…
This week we are going to do a little bit of an experiment, we are going to grow some cress just like Mr Bloom! You can watch how to make his cress-head here
https://childrens-binary.files.bbci.co.uk/childrens-binarystore/cbeebies/cbeebies-pdf-mr_blooms_nursery_cressheads.pdf  
We are going to try growing cress in the shade, the sun, sand, cotton wool and soil. We are going to predict which cress will grow the best and check it each day to find out if we are right!
Have a good week and keep sending in the super work!
Best wishes
Mandy Turner.

Year 6 IMPORTANT INFORMATION and dates

Year 6 

I hope you all found this morning’s Zoom session with the Corbet useful and reassuring. It was lovely lovely to have had 100% of you online.

We have revieiwed our numbers and staff and now are able to let you know a date for having year 6 back in school. This will be week beginning 22.6.20 . The year 6 children will be able to come for full days, but potentially only 2 days per week (either Monday and Tuesday or Thursday and Friday). Once you have told your teacher via dojo whether you want your child to return, we will allocate you the sessions. If the numbers are low, we will be able to have the year 6 group in 4 days a week.  We didn’t think we would be able to start year 6s so soon, but due to low numbers of other other year groups, we are happy we are able to this. It was so important for us to spend some time with them, especially now that we know there will be no face to face transition time at the Corbet.

If your child is a year 6 that is already accessing the keyworker group, they will not be able to go between 2 bubbles. Therefore, you will be asked to let us know whether you would like them to spend 2 days (or possibly 4 days in year 6), or up to 5 days in the keyworker bubble.

Year 6 times will be 8:50 – 3:00 You must not arrive before 8:45 or you will overlap with the other bubbles.

ACTION: let your teacher know via dojo that you want your year 6 to return on 22nd June 

Many thanks,

C. Williams

Panda Class learning w/c 8th June 2020

Overview of learning w/c 8th June 2020

Hi Pandas, I hope you are all well.

We are working on self-esteem and being kind to ourselves this week. The following link is to a story about a bear that doesn’t know who or what he is. This is a good opportunity to think positively and convert any worries in to positives.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1hmd8q7n10

In maths we are adding 2 small numbers – there is a worksheet/game for this.               space-add-and-colour-addition-activity-sheet

There are some reading sentences for your child to read – the dots and dashes are for the different phonemes.    space-simple-sentence-cards

There is a worksheet for phonics too looking at finding and circling the correct word.  cvcc-phase-four-circle-that-word-worksheet

Have fun and have a good week.
