Happy Easter Year 1!

You have all worked so hard in your first two weeks of home schooling. We have been so impressed with the photos and work that you have shared with us this week, so please scroll back to last week’s post to find the star certificates! ⭐I am sure you can all think of something you are really proud of achieving this week – we would love to see your certificates shared on the blog.

We are now beginning the Easter holidays and we know you all deserve a well-earned break so we won’t be setting you daily Maths and Literacy activities. However, please keep up with practising your spellings and aim to read at least three times a week. Don’t forget you can access lots of free e-books using Oxford Owl (instructions are in reading diaries). 📚                       https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/

We know that this break from school is going to be slightly different so we have created a list of fun activities that you can do –  without needing to leave your home! Please also feel free to look back on any of the Literacy and Maths activities (particularly online and PurpleMash games) that you have been set over the past couple of weeks – I am sure the children would enjoy playing some of these games again! Remember, there is no obligation to complete these, we just thought they may be useful to have…and fun for the whole family!

All of the links to the Easter activity ideas are below:

Nursery Activities Friday 3rd April

Good morning nursery, we have made it to the last day of the term!

We hope you have found our daily activities over the last two weeks useful. We will be picking these up again after Easter.

If you would still like some ideas during the Easter break, check out this list of ‘100 things to do indoors’. Why not turn it into a fun game by putting a few of the game names into a hat and choosing a surprise.

Although this holiday is different, we hope you can make the most of it and have fun with your family in your home. Keep smiling and stay safe.

Kind Regards, The Nursery Team.

Year 1 Home Schooling Friday 3rd April 2020

Hello Y1! Well done for making it to the end of term and continuing all the amazing work at home that you would in class. It will make all the difference and we are incredibly proud of you all!

Here are some lesson ideas for Friday.

Friday is spelling day again – so can parents test you on the spellings you have practised at home all week? Again, please send your scores to Mrs Goodwin and Mrs Lee via the PurpleMash email as they cannot wait to hear how you get on.

Here are the next set of spellings which you may already have a paper copy of:

Year 1 spellings Spring Week 12 suffix ing

Mrs Goodwin’s Group spellings e-e

Mrs Lee’s Group (recap or er)

For Literacy today there is a final game linked to our theme of suffixes this week. This time we are looking at plurals. On PurpleMash a 2do has been set to match the singular (one object) to the plural (more than one object) e.g cat to cats. This is a fun memory style game so have fun!

We have also popped on a fun Science/Art activity as our topic of Materials comes to an end. Can you draw a picture of your house, choosing the correct materials it is made from? Here is a picture I have attempted of my house :) It is trickier than it looks!

Year 2 Home Learning – Friday 3rd April 2020

Hello Year 2!

Here are some activity ideas for you to complete today:

We would usually  do our spelling test today in school so ask an adult to do this for you at home.  You could then email your score to your teacher!

For your last lesson on fractions we would like you to complete the work on equivalence of a half and two quarters.  The video to watch can be found here: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/ and the worksheet to complete is here:

Maths – Friday 3rd April

Today’s literacy activity is a reading one.

First of all read this eBook called The Bear Who Came To Babysit

https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/the-bear-who-came-to-babysit-ebook-t-e-2548928

(If you cannot access the Ebook from the link above then the text can be read here) The Bear who came to babysit

Then use the text to help you to answer these questions.  If you don’t have a printer you could write the answers out on a piece of paper or in your homework book.

questions

Finally, on Purple Mash we have set you a 2do about your ambition.  What is your ambition? What would you like to achieve?

We have also set some Times Tables games for you to play on Purple Mash.  Or you could challenge Miss Rouse or Mrs Horler to a times tables battle on Times Tables Rock Stars. I wonder who will win?

Please keep up your hard work for one more day – it is the Easter Holidays soon!

We hop you have a wonderful day,

Miss Newport and Miss Jones 😊

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?
