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

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!

Panda Class – Phonics – Read Write Inc link 30th March 2020

Hi Panda Parents/Carers,

I hope you are well.

I wanted to highlight a great resource from Read Write Inc – our phonics lessons / resources.

There are live films for teaching phonics lessons, available everyday for 2 weeks with each episode available for 24hrs.

Set One Speed Sounds @ 9:30am  (These are really important for revision)

Set Two Speed Sounds @ 10:00am  (This is where we are up to currently – we have covered ay, ee, igh, ow, oo (as in moon) & oo (as in book)   New learning would be ar, or, air, ir, ou & oy

Set Three Speed Sounds @ 10:30am  For when children have completed Set Two Speed Sounds (This set is for learning more ways of writing the same sounds)

I would recommend watching Set One Sounds, then have a break and watch Set Two Sounds a little while later.

There are also further films for parents/Carers which help with understanding the process of teaching phonics and how to say the sounds.

Please follow the link below and hopefully you will enjoy tuning in every day.

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

Your children will be so pleased and proud to show you how well they can do – I’m sure you could use Dojo rewards to add Monster points! Keep the wonderful communications through Dojo, I love hearing about what you have been doing.

Happy Phonics

Mandy Turner
