School update

Dear Parents/Carers,

I understand that you must have so many questions and indeed worries about the news that the Prime Minister announced this week concerning schools. This is a very useful document to read and I hope you find it informative.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/closure-of-educational-settings-information-for-parents-and-carers/reopening-schools-and-other-educational-settings-from-1-june

We are currently working very hard on our plan around re opening and hope to share that with you very shortly. If you have children in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 or Year 6 then please do fill in the form that was sent out this morning to give us an indication as to whether you plan to send your child/children into school or not following half term.

Kind regards

Miss Cook

Phonics Activity Ideas

Busy Bee is extremely busy today collecting pollen in order to make us some delicious honey. So, I thought I would share some fun phonics activities that you could do at home with a little bit of help from your adult. You could;

  • Play ‘rainbow hop’. Use coloured paper, one die and a marker to create a stepping stone for every sound in the phase you are working on.
  • Play ‘sound ball’. Your adult calls out a sound and you respond with a word that contains it. Then your adult throws the ball to you and you give them a sound to think about.
  • ‘Washingline phonics’. Using pegs, paper, and a marker you could create a phonics washing line.
  • Phonics photo hunt. You could create a photo album with a picture for every sound. For example, a train for the ‘ai’ sound.
  • Spin and rhyme. Using a paper towel roll and clothes hanger your adult can write a word and see how many rhyming words you can add.
  • Mystery bag. Place objects in a bag. As your adult pulls the items out, see if you can guess the mystery sound that unites all the objects.
  • Say 2 words. Your adult says 2 words that contain the same sound and you must stand up as quickly as you can. Stay seated if they do not.
  • Monster names. Replace the first letter of your name with a phonics sound. For example, Miss Hammond could become Mad Monster Quammond! You could stomp around like a monster with your new name!
  • Smack the letter. Use a fly swatter (or equivalent) and hit sounds written on sticky notes when your adult pronounces them.
  • Phonics I Spy. Fill a large juice bottle with a variety of small items that contain various sounds, use rice or sand to fill the remaining space. Have your adult name a sound, shake the bottle, and hunt the correct item.

I hope these activities are of use to you and I would love to see any photos or comments of you attempting them. Have fun!

Busy Bee will be back tomorrow finding out about the ‘ai’ sound.

Miss Hammond.

VE Day Junk Modelling Challenge

As it is VE Day tomorrow, you may like to take part in a JUNK MODELLING CHALLENGE that has been launched by the museum at RAF Cosford. The challenge is to build your very own aircraft, using whatever you can find around your home! In school, pupils from Nursery to Year 6 love junk modelling so I am sure many children would love to have a go at this at home – it would even be a nice project for siblings, or whole families, to work on together! 🛫🛫

The competition deadline is Thursday 14th May. To enter your aircraft, all you need to do is post a photo of your creation in the comments on the competition post, which can be found at ‘The Royal Air Force Museum, Cosford‘ Facebook page. Alternatively, you can share your photo using the tag ‘@rafmuseum‘ on Facebook.

Good Luck!! ☘
