Numicon Challenge

Good afternoon nursery, I hope you enjoyed our fun Numicon challenge last week using bricks to represent your one piece of Numicon. Today, I have another challenge for you. It is the opposite this time, instead of using your bricks to represent your Numicon, I would like to see how many Numicon pieces you can use to represent one number.

For my example I chose number 6, you can choose a different number if you like. What happens to the pattern when you put the pieces together like I have? How many times can you make the same number? How many pieces did you use?

You may use more than one of the same (if you are able to print them). For example; to represent my number 6, I could use 6 pieces of my number 1 value.

Let us know how you get on, enjoy 😉

Y4 Science- Animals including Humans

This term, Y4 would have been learning about animals including humans as part of their Science unit.

We’d like children to create a piece of work, which demonstrates their knowledge of this unit. Children can choose how they’d like to present this information e.g. a poem, piece of artwork, a video report etc and upload it onto the Y4 homework blog.

Here is some information to help them: Y4 Science Animals including Humans

Wednesday’s phonics challenge

Today I thought it would be good to get your child moving.  Can you place pieces of paper across the floor, these are going to be your planets, and on them write simple words such as “dog”, “cat”, “pat” and “man”.  Tell your child that they are in a rocket and can only fly to the next planet if they read the word on the one they have landed on by segmenting and blending all of the sounds.  They might look at the word and say “m”, “u”, “g” “mug!”.  When they get to the last planet perhaps they could have a reward?

Year 1 Home Learning Wednesday 6th May 2020

Hello Year 1.

For phonics today, practise your spellings for tomorrow’s test – Miss Hammond is still posting her amazing video’s everyday to help you practise your sounds too! Could you put your spellings into sentences? Here is a colouring activity to print or adapt. Identify the real and nonsense split digraph words.

phase 5 a-e colour sheet

Today, can you learn about how weather is measured? Lesson Presentation Measuring the Weather

You will remember I mentioned to save a plastic bottle from your recycling. This is so that you can make your very own rain gauge (a piece of equipment to measure how much rainfall we have)! Mum or Dad may need to help you with this. Attached are some instructions to make it. Also attached is a sheet to take measurements of how much rain you collect each day. You could record this on consecutive days or spread it out over a longer time span due to the weather being sunny/showery at the moment. Activity Sheet Rainfall Rain Gauge Craft Instructions Black and White Rain Gauge Scale

Finally, can you write about how weather affects what activities we can do. What can you do on rainy day? What can you do on a Sunny day? What can you do on a snowy or windy day?

Let us know how you get on!

Nursery Video

🌟Once upon a time in a land far away,
The nursery children were sad they couldn’t come and play.
Our team thought and thought for a quite a little while,
And decided on a video to make you all smile.
So here is a message from us to you,
Remember we are proud of all that you do 🌟

 

Keep Smiling, The Nursery Team 💗

Value of the Month- May

Thank you for all your support with the value of the month for April, which was Freedom. Throughout April, children learnt about the different aspects of Freedom from rights and responsibilities to freedom of speech.

Our value of the month for May is Perseverance

What is Perseverance?

  • Not giving up even when faced with a problem.
  • Trying your best in all situations.
  • Realising that sometimes we are faced with challenges but trying to overcome these in the best way possible.

Suggestions for parents to work with children at home:

Discuss what the word means. Has your child ever been in a situation where they have demonstrated perseverance? If so, can they tell you strategies of how they didn’t give up?

Discuss with your child situations where people have shown perseverance and have achieved success e.g. family members, individuals with mobility difficulties, athletes etc.

Self-belief- discuss with your child how they feel about their learning and other skills and attributes. Talk about what they could do when faced with a challenge. It’s important that children learn the importance of perseverance even when faced with difficulties.

Here are a few websites which show how individuals have overcome difficulties and demonstrated Perseverance:

Derek Redmond – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZlXWp6vFdE

Steve Jobs – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElVUqv0v1EE&app=desktop

Michael Jordan – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45mMioJ5szc

Tanni Grey-Thompson – http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/primaryhistory/famouspeople/tanni_grey_thompson/

The Suffragettes – http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/22766676

Please let your child’s teacher know if we can celebrate any work from home, on our school website.

Feedback on the values and what you do at home is really valuable to us and we really appreciate all your support.
