Nursery Phonics Challenge 10th July
Hi Nursery!
Well what a fun filled active week you’ve been having. For today’s phonics challenge you will need a space, clear of any trip hazards as you are going to be fast runners moving quickly around the room or garden!
Here is a link to a video showing you the fun Physical Phonics game ‘Pirates and Sailors’ that you might like to try… You will need someone to play with but this can be just one other, your grown up or a sibling.
Who will be the winner and match all those initial sounds?!
Have Phonics Fun! Miss Taylor : )

Hello Year 2!

Spellings – This week’s spellings are a recap of the months of the year. Today is spelling test day. Remember to email your teacher to let them know your score.
📒 Literacy – Today’s task can be found on BBC Bitesize . Head over to the BBC website where you will find today’s reading based activity.

Maths – Today’s Maths activity is a continuation of the White Rose work and it’s Friday which means only one thing…CHALLENGE TIME!
The worksheet can be found here:
Afternoon activities – This week’s theme is Sport and Newdale’s Mini Olympics. ⚽
Usually, around now, we would be competing in our annual Sports Day festivities across school. As this is not possible this year, we have decided to set you challenges and activities at home that you can complete.
You may notice that on the majority of days, there are gold, silver and bronze awards for the sporting activities. Keep a total of the amount of points you manage to collect over the week and let your teacher know how many you have earned.
We look forward to the children of Newdale adopting a healthy mindset and lifestyle over the week. Maybe you could get involved with some healthy cooking too?
Post your pictures and work to your class blogs, we cannot wait to see them!
Here are some additional ideas that you may wish to carry out to make sure that you are staying active at home
We look forward to seeing your wonderful work! Have a wonderful weekend!

FREE Breakfast Parcels
Ketley Community Centre are offering FREE Breakfast Parcels for children in receipt of free school meals who live with the Ketley or Overdale parish.
These will be handed out between Thursday 16th July – Thursday 20th Aug 2020 as part of Ketley Parish & Telford & Wrekin councils campaign to end holiday hunger.
These weekly parcels are for children in school years, aged 5-11yrs who are entitled to free school meals, and will be available for collection every Thursday between 10am-1pm over the summer holidays.
Parents need to register every week via the link:
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ketley-breakfast-club-tickets-111796771152
Breakfast parcel = 1 per child
Please note that the ticket relates to the collection date, not how many children they are collecting for, this information is collected within the registration form.
We are aware that a number of other groups within Telford are also offering the same offer, but as funding is very limited and kind donations from other sources are also limited we ask that parents that already receiving these elsewhere, do not look source additional parcels.
Breakfast parcels may vary each week and may contain: Bread, Milk, Cereal, Fruit, Jam, Beans, Juice & Porridge, we will also look to include additional non breakfast items to help support further meals.
Kind regards
