Reception in Panda Class have created masterpieces!

Our Reception children have been learning about themselves this half term.  They have drawn amazing self portraits which will soon be taking pride of place on display.  They have also been busy listening to the story of The Gruffalo and have looked carefully at it’s features…. scary!  Then, using clay, they have created some wonderful faces of the Gruffalo!  Pictures to follow shortly.

Year 1 in Panda Class, have had a super writing week!

This half term we are working with, and enjoying , a wonderful text called Grandad’s Island, by Benji Davies.  The children have really enjoyed experiencing drama sessions and using them to bring their writing to life.  When writing the children have been thinking about adjectives, repetition for effect, using ‘but’ sentences and tomorrow we are looking to use superlatives!  They have worked so hard and should feel very proud of their writing.

Panda Class Curriculum Plan for Autumn Term 2020

Please find the Panda Curriculum plan below.  We can’t wait to get started.  As you can see our topic is old and new toys in History and Materials in Science, so where possible we make links to for a topic area.  We have been looking at how we can find out about toys in the past and what toys of today are made of; and how this differs from the past. Children were interested to know what their grown-ups at home had as their favourite toy when they were little.

If you have any questions please just ask.

We are really lucky to have the PE coaches in the first week back, so children will need to come in their PE kits every Wednesday & Friday as we will not be getting changed in school.

I look forward to seeing you all soon.

P.S I will hopefully be adding some pictures so the children can see what the classroom looks like.

Panda Class Home Learning w/c 13th July 2020

Hello everyone,

 

I hope you have enjoyed the weekend.

This is the final week of home learning online, as term ends this Thursday, 16th July 2020. I have to say I have been blown away by the effort your children have put into the home learning tasks and it’s been so lovely to see the work, videos and pictures on Class Dojo.  It’s not been easy for anyone but we have all pulled together and you have done a great job! Thank you.

In maths this week we are looking at solving mathematical problems – putting into practice what we have learnt so far.  Remind your child to read the question and then say what the problem is asking them to do; ask them to tell you what they know about the question (who, what, how many) if necessary underline what the question is asking you to do. Then get them to say how they might work it out – don’t forget drawing pictures or using props for these problems are a great visual support.

In English we are looking at rhymes.  It is important to be able to hear rhymes and be able to match and predict/suggest a matching pair of rhyming words.  Enjoy the poems.

Can you write any poems of your own?

In phonics we are practising set 2 and set 3 sounds from Read Write Inc.  These can be found on you Tube

Set 1 and set 2 Red words should be practised as well so that your child can read and spell them independently.

 

I would recommend carrying on with some aspects of learning through the summer holidays, by listening to your child read regularly, getting them to write notes, letters and lists etc. I have also added a summer activity booklet with a variety of activities for them to complete if they want to – hopefully they will enjoy it.

Take care and enjoy the summer holidays and I am really looking forward to welcoming everyone back in September.

Best wishes
