Nursery Guidance On Writing And Letters

Have a little look at the following attachments on how you can support your children with writing and letters during your time at home.

The writing activities are suggested for all children. There are also some lovely phonic game suggestions for Mighty Oaks (phase 2).

For Ladybug children, your main focus will be to develop their listening skills using phase 1. Our daily activities provide listening activity suggestions you could use to attune your child to sounds around them and build their foundations ready for phase 2.

Please do not worry too much, try not to make it ‘work based’. Essentially, children in Early Years learn through play. Above all, it is about having fun.

The nursery team are so proud of you all.

Value of the Month- April

Our value of the month for April is Freedom

What is Freedom?

  • Rights and responsibilities
  • Self-expression
  • Freedom of speech

Suggestions for parents to work with children at home:

  • Together, talk about people in history who were being ruled by someone else and wanted freedom, e.g. Moses and the Israelites, slaves in the US before the Civil War; Hanukkah; Nelson Mandela.
  • Discuss with your child about historical slavery and modern day human trafficking.
  • Discuss with your child about the Syria Refugee Crisis.
  • Different Rules of Law around the world. Discuss with your child democracy in Britain and how this may be different from countries around the world.
  • Freedom of self- expression. Discuss with your child the importance of their identity and being able to express themselves. Explain that people living in Britain are able to express themselves how they choose; as long as it doesn’t break the law (Individual Liberty).
  • Discuss inner freedom– having positive thoughts. What does inner freedom feel like? When do you feel most free? What kinds of thoughts make you feel free? Constrained?

Year 2 Home Learning Thursday 2nd April

Happy Thursday! Here are some activity ideas for you to complete today:

For spellings we would like you to create a word rainbow! Write your spellings out in as many different colours as you can.  Share your pictures on the blog!

Well done for all of your hard work on fractions this week.  We have enjoyed seeing your Maths blog posts – please keep them coming! Today’s White Rose lesson is about non-unit fractions.  The video to watch can be found here: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/ and the worksheet to complete is here:

Thursday – Non-unit fractions

Today’s literacy activity is an adverb quiz found on purple mash.  Remember that an adverb is used to describe a verb ( a doing word).  For example, She quickly ran to see what was making the strange noise, the baby cried loudly when he woke up.  As an extension activity, could you write your own sentences with adverbs in them?

And finally, we would like you to make an Easter poster or poem.  This activity can also be found on Purple Mash.

Keep up the hard work everyone, we are very proud of you all!

Year 1 Home Schooling Thursday 2nd April 2020

Here are the activities for today for Literacy and Phonics:

Miss Hammond is continuing to make her videos to help keep up the practise at home of the phonics flashcards and year 1 sounds. You could play the 4-in-a-row game again as that proved popular today.

In addition to this there is a new game in your 2do’s on PurpleMash, linked to your spellings. This is a little fun quiz. You can set the time to show the words for as little or as long a time as you like.

Then, for Literacy put your suffix knowledge into practise with this activity:

You choose the correct word ending for the word. Maybe you can write some sentences of your own with the year 1 word endings? You could use words from the game or even words from your spellings.

Hope you enjoy this. You will be suffix experts in no time!

Parent to Teacher communication

Dear Parents/Carers,

We have set up a new email address which will allow you to communicate with your class teacher should you need to. This would be a great platform for you to share positive experiences at home whilst allowing a more direct form of contact in these unprecedented circumstances. The address is: Newdale.year5team@taw.org.uk

Children should continue to use Purple Mash 2email and the homework blog as their main forms of communication.

Best wishes,

Mr Banfield and Miss Myler
