Week commencing Monday 19^th April 2021

Hello and welcome back to Minnows and Sardine classes for Term Five. We hope that you all enjoyed the Easter Break. We are excited to welcome back to school to explore this theme this term of Into the Woods.

After assessing the children when they returned to school last term we have established that the impact of the school closure has a lesser and greater affect for different children. Consequently, we have decided to teach some lessons mixing Minnows and Sardines so that all children are given the best support and challenge.

We really do appreciate the effort parents made throughout term 3 lockdown however to ensure that the children transition into Key Stage One well we will be in touch with personalised resources to for you to use at home to support your child with their next steps.

If you find yourself supporting your child with remote learning this week due to self-isolating please use the following information and remember to send work via class dojo.

Week Commencing 15th March 2021

It has been wonderful to have all the children back in school and they really enjoyed being back with friends learning together. They enjoyed taking part in the Book Week activities especially watching the Masked Reader videos and trying to guess which teacher was behind the mask!

After so long away from school there are some parts of school life that the children need to readjust to and we would appreciate your help.

Name everything – at home you may have 1 black hoodie age 4-5 in school we can have up to 40 and the children can not tell the difference.
Please send in spares – we have seen increase in toilet accidents so please pop spares in your child’s bag.
Practise independence skills such as putting on coats and shoes doing up, going to the toilet…
Tidying up and looking after resources. Unfortunately we had lots of broken and damaged toys and resources last week. In school the children are expected to look after the resources and take care of their learning environment. Having similar expectations at home can help the children understand their responsibilities.

Week commencing 22^nd February 2021

Hello and welcome to Term Four! We hope that you enjoyed some restful family time together during half term. We are hopeful that we will be back together in school as soon as it is safe to do so. In the meantime we will continue to provide daily learning activities via our class dojo page.

It is really important that you support your child to access the dojo challenges along with the set phonics and maths lessons as not only will it help provide some structure to your days in lockdown, it will prevent gaps from developing in your child’s knowledge and reinforce the expectation and habits of learning – persevering when a challenge is tricky, completing a task set by teachers, always trying their best.

In addition this term we will be offering some live sessions via Micosoft Teams for the Reception children so keep a look out for further details and your child’s invitation via email.

As we have moved into term four we would like to trial introducing spellings for the children in Minnows and Sardines to help to start preparing them for Year One. We will be setting 5 words each week for them to practise as part of their daily handwriting practise and then on a Friday you will be able to send us your score. Parents please remember this is a new skill for the children and so participation is what is important at the start – we always praise when children have tried their best!

Week beginning 19th October 2020

Welcome to the last week of term. The children have been fantastic this term and have settled into school life extremely well. We are so pleased that so many of our parents are using class dojo to communicate with us, and share home learning. It is so important that you take the time to become familiar with class dojo as a parent and help your child to create their own user profile as in the event of us having to do remote learning this will be how we deliver our lessons and pupils will submit work.

If you are supporting your child with remote learning this week due to self-isolation please use the following resources and share via dojo.

Maths this week will be focusing on numbers. Please use the videos and resources from White Rose EYFS Its Me 1, 2, 3 unit https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/its-me-1-2-3-week-1/

and watch the Numberblocks Series 1 episodes 1-4 https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b08bzfnh/numberblocks

In Literacy this week we will be looking at non fiction instruction text, specifically recipes. We will be making bread in school following the recipe. Whilst you are at home could you watch this episode of Come Outside to learn about making bread https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGb8ZFgNDhc

It would be great if you could make some bread at home or you could follow these instructions to make some toast. (WARNING Adult supervision will be required)

Alternatively you could make a family favourite recipe or try something new from a cookbook. You can check out https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/curations/cbeebies-house-recipes for lots of child friendly recipes. As well as all the maths opportunities we want the children to learn the new key words: recipe, ingredients, equipment, first, next, then, after, finally.

Toast instructions

Phonics this week will be focusing on rhyme and oral blending and segmenting please complete the following activities Phonics rhyming oral blending & segmenting

Farm animal questioning game

Look out for info on our parents phonic workshop on the class dojo page this week.

Half term

We would have loved to take the children on a trip this term, alas with current additional safety measures due to covid19 we could not. It would be brilliant if you could over half term take your child to one or more of the following; a farm, a bakery, and a farmers market. Please remember to share videos or photos of your adventures on class dojo.

Week beginning 12th October 2020

This week in school we shall be continuing our learning of the Little Red Hen, reading different versions of the text, and looking at the similarities and differences.
