Highlights from Home Y5&6 – Tuesday 28th April 2020

Unfortunately, the weather has been miserable today and it looks like it’s going to continue tomorrow. Take a look……
https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2637891

Today, I’ve been ‘snowed under’ with the amount of photographs of your learning at home, which is fantastic.

I know that a lot of you look forward to seeing these ‘Highlights from Home’ so if anybody wants to be original with what you send, eg, ‘Storytime with Nelly’, then it would be good fun. If you choose to send a video, it can’t be too long though (2 minutes long probably) or else the file might be too large to upload. It could be a PE warm up routine, some reading, a music or drama performance, etc…..

Here’s ‘Storytime with Nelly’ Day Five – Listen carefully to try to answer her question at the end.

Here’s the Highlights from Home page for today. Well done to everybody who has contributed, and if you aren’t on here today, it would be lovely to hear from you tomorrow.

Rhino Daily Challenge – Writing

There are many books on all types superheros, especially linked to animals and creatures.

Just like SUPERWORM by Julia Donaldson that Amelia has been reading recently, which gave me an idea….

If you were going to turn an animal/creature into a superhero, what would you choose?

Challenge:

  • Write a short story (include 5 key elements – introduction, build up, problem, resolution and ending)
  • Write a comic strip
  • Draw and label your character
  • Create a powerpoint

Snow Leopards w/c 27th April 2020

Hello Snow Leopards and Parents/Carers.

I hope you all had a lovely Easter and ate lots of chocolate! I wanted to let you all know that I am missing you all very much and look forward to seeing you all soon.

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions regarding your child’s play/learning from home. If you get stuck, I have gathered a few ideas and activities you could try at home with your children.  If we were in Nursery our topic would be Spring, new beginnings and animals and their young, so perhaps you could support your children with some of these at home.

Signs of Spring:

Go for a walk and collect some nature treasures. When you get home count them and then make a picture with them.

Learn about animals and their young:

Sheep/lambs -Cows/calves – Horses/foals – Chickens/chicks, for example.

Look at the life cycle of a frog. See if you can find any! Watch this video… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxlSGf9_amA

There are some lovely interactive stories on Twinkl; ‘The Cautious Caterpillar’, ‘All About Spring’ and ‘Seren’s Seasons’

For children wanting to practice their letter/number recognition or formation, pencil grip and control Twinkl is another brilliant resource for this. Ensure that you have highlighted the ‘Early Years’

We often do Cosmic Yoga in nursery and the children love it! Follow this link to have a go https://www.youtube.com/user/CosmicKidsYoga

I am always checking my emails so please email anything that your children have been up to; I would love to see it! nursery@myddle.shropshire.sch.uk

Take care and stay safe,

Jodie Phillips
