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.

VE Day Friday 8th May

On Friday, the suggested activities for nursery will be to celebrate Victory in Europe day (VE day).

Great Britain was able to celebrate the end of the fighting in Europe during World War II on 8th May 1945, 75 years ago! This is an incredibly important celebration in our national history that we should remember.

As we are all at home, we thought we could suggest some activities that enables you to still celebrate in some way that could inspire children to explore the history behind VE day.

This could include:

Creating bunting and flags with poppies to decorate your homes with
Hosting an indoor street party
Ringing bells, cheering, hitting pots and pans at 12:00

Design a Medal

Union Jack Template Display Bunting

VE Day Colouring Page

VE Day Display Bunting

VE Day Editable Note

Wartime Recipe Booklet

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 8th 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

Friday’s phonics challenge

Today’s challenge is slightly different.  I would like you to select “flash card speed trial” on phonics play.  You can at this point chose all of phase 2 or select a mixture of sounds that your child does and does not know.  When you start the game your child shouts out the sound (they like that part!) and if they are correct you press the tick if not press the cross.  At the end your child receives a score showing their time to get through all of the letters and how many they got correct.  If you record this at this point you can then revisit this game and explain to your child their challenge e.g. if they got 15 correct last time can they get 16 this time?

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
