Tuesday’s phonics challenge

We are segmenting again today by trying to get Bob and Obb back together again. To help reunite the aliens the children have to listen to a given word and segment the sounds and then type them. Each time they spell a word correctly the space ship will move closer. Do please help your child whenever they need you to for example, if there is a “c”, “k” or “ck” sound, they won’t know which one to type. Good luck in reuniting the Obb and Bob on phonics play “space race” phase 2 level.

Helpful Books for Younger Children

It can be quite challenging to explain to children (particularly younger children) about what is going on in the world at the moment. To help find the right words to explain why we need to wash our hands so frequently and the reasons why we are having to stay at home, here are two more fantastic books to help:

‘Staying at Home’ by Sally Nicholls (available as a free download by Anderson Press) https://www.andersenpress.co.uk/staying-home/

Here is the PDF version: STAYING_HOME_ Sally Nicholls

Also helpful is ‘I Don’t Want to Wash My Hands’ by Tony Ross. You could order a copy online, but here is a link to the author reading his story aloud which you may find useful.

We hope you find them helpful.

Year 1 Home Schooling Tuesday 5th May 2020

Today for phonics, practise your spellings. You will be tested Thursday this week instead of Friday due to the VE day bank holiday. Keep watching Miss Hammond’s amazing videos as these will help you with your flashcards and revision.

Our little split digraph memory game on this PowerPoint might help you to remember your spelling rule for this week. Split Digraph matching pairs memory game powerpoint

For Literacy today, continuing with our Weather theme we would like you to have a go at writing your own Springtime poem to celebrate all the sunshine we have had lately! You might like to read some poems first for a bit of inspiration.

You can create your own on paper, or you may like to do it via PurpleMash on your 2do’s.

Finally, you should have received a text to ask you to keep hold of an empty plastic bottle for an upcoming activity! All will be revealed tomorrow.

Have a great day.

Monday’s phonics challenge

Happy Monday! This week we are we are going to look at how we segment the sounds in words for example you know that “cat” is made of the sounds “c”, “a” and “t”. In the first activity the children are asked to listen to a word and then segment it (use the pat the arm technique) and then type in those sounds to make the word. They may need help to find the correct sound on the keyboard if you have one that shows capital letters. The game is called “rocket rescue” on phonics play (choose phase 2 level) and each time they spell a word correctly they build the rocket until eventually it takes off. Good luck with rescuing the rocket!

Letter from Miss Cook

Dear Parents/Carers,

We have proudly managed to stay open every single day since lockdown, in order to support our key worker children and families. We have consulted with all parents who use the hub and they have kindly managed to rearrange shifts etc so that we can officially close on Friday 8^th May. The reasons for this are that we want all staff (especially those who are in every day) and all children, to have a day off linked to the ‘Victory for Europe’ (VE Day) celebrations. We feel that this is an important part of our history and one that needs to be recognised by everyone.

‘Victory in Europe Day, generally known as VE Day or V-E Day, is a day celebrating the formal acceptance by the Allies of World War II of Nazi Germany’s unconditional surrender of its armed forces on 8 May 1945.’

Clearly we would have stayed open if key worker parents could not re-arrange shifts, as we remain committed to supporting everyone who is on the front line supporting us all in defeating Covid-19.

I know teachers and I would love to see any photos you showing what you got up to celebrating, but please remember that the Government rules stay the same – only leave the house to exercise, to collect essential food items and to collect necessary medical supplies.

Enjoy the day everyone, but stay safe.

Miss Cook
