Learning at home!

Dear families

Just a quick note to let you know that there is a box in the hall for each class that has packs for each child with some learning activities you can use at home. The hall will  be open until around 4pm this afternoon if you would like to pop in and collect your pack.

In the meantime, here are a couple of ideas that we hope will help you out over the coming weeks:

.practise the names and sounds of the alphabet letters
.find things in your house or out in the garden that begin with different sounds
.counting practise-forwards and backwards to 20-what comes before, what comes after…
.identify basic shapes by name-triangle, square, rectangle, oval,circle, pentagon, hexagon-find examples of these shapes in and around your home

In your pack
.orange books are for writing a sentence about something they have done that day-use the word card to help find some of the words you need, and try sounding out the beginning sound of each word.
.letter and number formation-do this every day, and then have a go at writing them on your own
.Read, read, read
.maths sheets to help for counting forwards and backwards and then counting on.

Some interesting websites to check out:

.Google ‘brain break action songs’ and you will find fun ways to get moving
.Twinkl is a website full of material that is offering free membership to parents for a month-you may find something that you would like to print out.

Please keep checking our blog, as we will put little challenges on there on a Monday and Wednesday to keep you going!

Thinking of you all, take care and we can’t wait to see you all again soon!
All the best

Mrs Waddington and Philippa

Pop Pop Popcorn!

  It was a pop pop pop popcorn kind of day on Friday! First we decorated our boxes. Next we cut and folded our boxes, we had to think carefu...
