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!

Tiger Class Easter Holidays

As you know, yesterday was this half-term’s last school day and we are now officially on Easter Holidays! We were then advised not to issue any School work for the next two weeks. And as I am not a fan of homework for the holidays, if you intend to take this time off, have a lovely break with your families!

For those, like me, who will continue to do some “school work” throughout the holidays – mainly to maintain some routine for all of us – tomorrow I will be posting a summary of everything I have shared so far, so you can revisit things you might have forgortten about or explore anything you might have missed.

I will also post some fun activities, on our Class Dojo, every weekday during the holidays to help you keeping the cubs occupied.

Please note these are just ideas and I have no expectation of the children working during the holidays. It is just so you have a choice on how best to manage this unusual school break.

Hope this all makes sense and you find it useful.

Please let me know if there’s anything specifically you would like me to share.

Phonics Play access for parents

Phonics Play is a great website containing lots of interactive phonics and spelling games and activities. Like other popular educational websites, which normally need a paid subscription to allow access, they are offering free access during the school closure period.

Please use the link to access the Phonics play website and use the username: march20 and password: home to gain access.

Hope you enjoy this great resource

Parent access to Twinkl – An Educational Resource Website

Twinkl is an educational website which contains a wealth of resources designed by teachers for teachers. To access the resources, you usually require a paid subscription. However, due to school closures and pupils’ learning being disrupted, Twinkl is offering every parent access to Twinkl resources with a One Month Ultimate Membership, totally free of charge. 

Accessing this offer is really easy to do – go to www.twinkl.co.uk/offer to set up a new account using the code UKTWINKLHELPS and you’re ready to go.

Additional Resources:

Twinkl have also created a number of really helpful guides, designed for parents, for different areas of the curriculum. Their dedicated Parents’ Hub contains hundreds of educational activities designed for use at home.

For parents with children in EYFS, take a look through the EYFS for Parents area to find some really useful guides and activities to share.

For primary-aged children (Year 1 to 6), take a look at the 5-11 area. Again, this was created with parents in mind so it’s filled with guides and information about what children should be learning in each year group, for each curriculum area.

They have also created some interactive ‘School closure learning packs‘ which can be downloaded once you have an account. Click on the link below for quick access:

Learning Packs

Hope you enjoy the resources

Tiger Update – 17.3.20

Dear Tiger parents / carers,

new Government guidelines is that if anyone in your household is showing symptoms of Corona virus (namely a new persistent cough or a high temperature), you MUST all self-isolate for 14 days. As a result, we are expecting even more children to miss school in the next few weeks. I have decided to share some of the home-learning links I have prepared, earlier than I expected, so families affected can start doing some work at home, if they have a chance.

I also have a home-learning folder ready for each child in our class, ready to be sent home if schools are made to close. So, if your child and the rest of your family is not showing any symptoms, please send them to school as normal and rest assured I am preparing for changes in circumstances.

If, however, your child is unable to attend to school and is well enough to do any work, I have selected 3 websites for us to use, initially:

For Reading: Teach your monster to read: https://www.teachyourmonstertoread.com/u/4791586

For Maths and English (including Spellings): Emile https://web.emile-education.com/

For Maths, Phonics and Reading: Classroom Secrets Kids https://kids.classroomsecrets.co.uk/

I have created logins for all children and will send you the relevant details via Class Dojos.

This is not an extensive list as I do not wish to overwhelm parents or children.There are thousands of free resources available for all areas of work in School. It is my job to curate the best ones for our class, so if there is anything in particular, you would like, please send me a message via Class Dojo.

I hope this is helpful.

Tiger Class – Book of the month – March 2020

What a tricky time we are having at the moment! To try and make sense of what is happening around us, our book of the month is an unusual choice.

Please see below a link to an e-book, which explains Corona virus to children. It’s short and uses child-friendly language, so it might be a useful tool to explain the situation to the little ones and reassure them as much as possible.

I hope you find this useful,

Mrs Crowe
