Snow Leopards

Hello Snow Leopards.
Hope you are all well and keeping busy!

I have, again gathered together some resources/activities that may keep you busy during these unusual times.

The Wright Way Group have started exercise sessions that will encourage our little Snow Leopards to get up and active! This clip is one of our nursery favourites…The Gruffalo!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv2hqr5nHIE&feature=youtu.be
Be sure to check out their YouTube page for more fun active stories sessions!

Name Recognition Activity Mat
This worksheet is for you to edit to help your children form the letters in their name. Laminating this sheet is a good option as then it is reusable.

t-tp-2660194-pizza-playdough-sensory-recipe
t-tp-2660192-pizza-playdough-mats
This homemade playdough recipe is perfect to keep the children entertained! The link below the recipe are activity mats – again these would work well laminated.

Winter Maths Challenge Cards

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Search.aspx?Subject=37
These are very popular games in nursery, brilliant for counting and number recognition.

Also remember our set 1 sounds for phonics and the short e-Book stories. All the information and guidance can be found using the link below

If you have any questions or need any more ideas, activities or stationary please do not hesitate to ask and I will do my best to assist you.

Lastly, remember to send us photos and updates on Dojo, we loved to see them!

Take care,
Jodie

Panda Class Home Learning Tuesday 9th February

Hi Pandas,

This week’s learning will still have lots of learning but will ‘feel’ a bit different.  As we look forward to half term we will have more of a self-directed week of work.

Phonics is still available each day – the Live Phonics lessons with Ruth Miskin continue this week.  These lessons have been well-received and seem to be a favourite!

Maths Year 1 and Reception  This week has a mix of Number and 3D shape work.  It doesn’t matter which order you do the work in.  The Number worksheets are differentiated by having stars in the bottom left-hand corner. 1 Star being easier than 3 stars. You can if you choose, do them all, or, pick one that suits your child’s learning. The 3D shape work has a variety of activities; some practical work, finding the shapes in everyday objects, and some 2D & 3D Riddles along with colouring and cutting activities.  Go at your own pace through the week.  Let me know if you have any queries.

Panda Class Home Learning Friday 5th February

Hello Pandas.

After all of your hard work this week, take it easy today and have lots of Panda fun!

I found it more enjoyable to watch this without the sound on.

 

From 10am on Friday 5th February,  Chester Zoo are offering a virtual zoo day – with a full time table of fascinating animal activities for us to watch.  I can’t wait, I love Chester Zoo.

 

Other things you could try today:

Continue with Ruth Miskin’s Live Phonics Lesson for Friday.

Cosmic Kids Yoga on YouTube, going for a walk,, bird-spotting.

Joe Wicks or Mr Wright TWWG’ Move’ PE lessons available on YouTube.

Jigsaws and board games.

Try this craft activity to make a tiger :

Templates for tiger craft

Cardboard Tube Tiger Craft Instructions

Or if you want to make an invertebrate creature, after this week’s science, try this jelly fish activity:

If you’re feeling like doing some super science have a look at this activity: Place some cabbage leaves or any other suitable veg into a glass of water with food colouring in.  Watch the ink track up the stem and into the leaf.

What ever you do today, make sure you have lots of fun.  I will hopefully see some of you on our 2pm Zoom session – if you could have a teddy bear or doll and some paper and colouring pencils. I will send the link on Class Dojo tomorrow.

Best wishes and have a great day.

We will be learning specifically about crustaceans, arachnids and insects which are types of invertebrates.
