Message from Miss Cook

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are as keen as you are to get back to normal and I promise to let you know more information as I receive it.

We understand how frustrating it is to have a lack of information about schools from the government and only wish we could be emailing with more solid news.

Our PM is addressing the nation today, which we hope will give us more of an insight, but I suspect it will still be vague and not give us the definite answers we are looking for.

I know the Local Authority are asking individual Headteachers for their thoughts by way of returning to school, but I also know that as yet, there is no set date or clear plan around which year groups will return and how that will be implemented.

In the meantime, I would like to thank you for all of the support you are giving children at home with their online learning, as we know that this will make such a difference to them as we return and catch up.

Kind regards,

Miss Cook

Evidence me

Some of the nursery team are experiencing technical issues currently with the evidence me app.  One possible solution is to ensure that everyone using it at home has agreed to the latest update.  Hopefully, in that way we’ll be able to view and respond to your observations.

Numicon Challenge

Last week I posted support in using Numicon at home and attached paper templates. I hope you enjoyed having a play with them.

So today, I have a little challenge for you. You can of course do this at your leisure.

Can you use bricks (stackable toys work well but you could use any toys) to represent the value of the Numicon?

My suggestion and example today is to use one piece of Numicon. How many ways can you use your bricks to show the same number? Can you touch count the Numicon for support?

I have chosen number 4.

Thursday’s phonics challenge

Morning!  Today I would like you to extend yesterday’s activity (pick a picture on phonics play) by creating your own words to go with real objects.  Please could you start by collecting some objects with very simple names such as hat, cup, pen, bag (you will only need about 4 or 5).  They need to be words in which each sound can easily be heard.  When you have done this ask your child to write each word on a slip of paper, help them to sound out each letter carefully using the pat and stroke the arm technique.  Once they have created a label for each object can you mix them up and see how quickly they can match them to the objects.

Thank you to everyone who has been sending in videos and photo’s of the challenges they bring a smile to my face!

Wednesday’s phonics post

Good morning everyone!

Your phonic challenge today is again to help children blend the letters in a simple word in order to read them.  It’s another great phonics play game, please select the game “pick a picture” at phase 2.  This gives the children a word on the screen and three possible objects.  Please can you help your child blend their sounds by tapping on their arm for each sound and then stroking it to blend them together.  I call this patting and stroking the dog!   It may seem strange but it seems to work.  If there are any unfamiliar letters please go back to Mrs Giodano’s post which shows the children the letter cards.

Have fun!

Make Your Own Rain Maker And Shaker Video

This morning, I have put together a little video to show you how to make your own rain makers and shakers for our suggested activity. They are so easy!

Of course you can use different resources, you can use anything you have access to.

I made mine in less than 5 minutes, but you can take as long as you like on yours, especially if you are decorating them.

Happy crafting!
