Nursery

Good morning to all our nursery friends. Some of you may or may not remember me. My name is Mrs Cleobury and I am based in the nursery. I have just returned from my maternity leave and ready to support you with activities to do at home with your child/children. 

I am one of the social media buddies and will be posting when I can(along with other staff members), using the website and our Newdale Nursery Facebook page. Our aim is to keep our little Newdalers and parents/carers topped up with fun suggestions and resources for you to do and use at home if you wish. 

Children in Early Years also learn through play, so choosing and exploring their own ideas is certainly encouraged. 

A suggested routine has already been posted (please see below) and we are now working hard to gather some helpful resources. In the meantime, our first activity has been posted by Mrs Curnow below for you to follow if you would like. 

Kind regards, Mrs Cleobury.

Year 2 Home Learning – Tuesday 24th March 2020

Maths – Today we would like you to login to Purple Mash and spend some time looking at odd and even numbers up to 100.  You could play this game (which we have set as a To Do!)

Literacy – Look at the jumping orange word story that we uploaded on Monday 23rd March.  Can you write your own? Make it as imaginative and as silly as you would like! You could upload your story to the homework blog or email it to your teacher.

Year 1 Phonics and Literacy Tuesday 24th March 2020

Hello,

We hope you have been enjoying the sunshine and getting plenty of fresh air and exercise. It has been great to see some wonderful work on Purple Mash.

A new 2Do has been set for Literacy for Year 1 pupils today. We would like you to interview Paddington Bear! Last week in Literacy, we learnt all about using a question mark when we write a question. We also thought carefully about the words we might use to start a question, such as what, where, when, who, how etc. Can you write some questions for Paddington? If you want to do this on paper at home then this would be fantastic too. What do you think his answers would be? Can you make sure the question mark is the right way round?

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

For phonics, continue to practise your sounds and spellings. Then you could use the ‘Picnic on Pluto’ game to sound and out read real and nonsense words. We play this lots in school.

https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/PicnicOnPluto.html

Keep your eyes peeled on the website as Miss Hammond is creating her very own videos to practise phonics at home.

Don’t forget to refer to the afternoon activity sheet and also try some of the mindfulness and exercise ideas previously posted.

Keep up the great work everyone.

Year 3 Home Learning!

Hello Year 3’s!

Year 3 teachers have set maths work for this week on Purple Mash for you to start to complete at home. Don’t forget you can use the other websites we gave you too! 

Further to the information lists we provided last week here are some suggested ideas for this week’s learning:

  • Read to yourself or an adult and record in your reading diary.
  • Practise your times tables on Times Table Rockstars/Hit The Button. 
  • Complete writing-based/topic learning tasks on Purple Mash.
  • Take part in Joe Wicks’ Daily PE lessons on YouTube.
  • Research European countries and create a mini tourist guide for each one you research.

Life skills activities:

  • cooking (whilst supervised by an adult)
  • Gardening
  • Practising telling the time – o’clock, quarter past/quarter to and half past. Then try 5 minutes intervals! Use analogue and digital times! 

A bit of fun:

  • Check out the list we gave you for some fun ideas!

Please note that these are just suggestions. Please remember to look at the information sheet we provided for other ideas to support your learning. 

And finally, if you’d like to post pictures to the homework blog of you cooking,  completing an exciting task or just simply enjoying yourself, then we’d love to see!

Keep well and keep smiling,

Mrs Trevor, Mrs Mclaughlin and Mrs Pablos  :)

Activities

As I said last week we are going to try and send out suggested activities as often as possible.  Perhaps today you could sequence the story of “Handa’s surprise” this is available on the internet to watch.  The children could then go on to think about the order of their day, you could even draw pictures together and put them in them in sequence.  If they do draw a picture you could help them write their name on it, even if it’s just some of the letters or marks to represent it.

We released the nursery butterflies today too, so could the children go into their gardens or the park and look and see if they can spot a butterfly today, it could even be the nursery ones that we have looked after!

Year 1 Phonics and Literacy Monday 23rd March 2020

Here are some ideas for phonics and Literacy for your Year 1 child for today.

Phonics

Work through your phonics linked spelling grid provided by school (or found on our spelling page). This is a great opportunity to practise handwriting at the same time. Ruth Miskin’s Read, Write, Inc (the flashcard resources we use in school) are scheduling FREE Read, Write, Inc phonics lessons on Facebook and YouTube for the next two weeks.

Set 1 speed sounds 9.30 and 12.30

Set 2 speed sounds 10.00 and 1.00

Set 3 speed sounds 10.30 and 1.30

Please note, these are streamed live and unavailable at other times.

If you invested in the flashcards, please do practise these daily to help shift them into the long term memory!

 

Literacy

Last week we learnt about adding adjectives into our sentences to make our writing more exciting! We even learnt how to separate more than one adjective with a comma. For example, Paddington Bear has a big, floppy hat.

Can you draw a fantastic picture of Paddington today? Then could you write some sentences underneath your picture to describe what he is like?

We would love to see your super writing posted on the homework blog, or you could email a picture to us directly.
