These are some of the many pictures that have been making me smile as I watch you learning at home. The high levels of concentration are visible in the children’s expressions. What FANTASTIC learners,  keep exploring and trying the different challenges that we set everyday.

Hello Everyone Its Thursday already!

HUGE Thank you again for the photos of your learning. KEEP THEM COMING. One photo I was sent today reminded me to ask  you all , How is your cress growing ?

I will look out for your photos or questions about the learning everyday. The photos that were sent today shows me how creative you are being with the material you have at home. BRILLIANT.

Its been a beautiful day today and I hope that you managed to spend a moment in the sunshine. It was truly wonderful and I loved seeing the butterflies dancing around my garden.  I was not so pleased to find millipedes and spiders but I know you would have loved to find them.  Your photos show me how you are learning both inside and outside… chalking in the garden and painting rockets outside, Wonderful.

I wonder what insects you can find in your outdoor space?Bug Hunt Sheet

Also today Thursday 26th March  I wonder if you can try to create and play a memory games together. You can even collect items around the house for your own memory game. 

OR You could even make collect items from your outside space or garden to use in the game. See what you can find.

Game One:  Play  Which one is missing? Remember to name them all and then cover them over with a piece of material your partner closes their eyes and an item is removed . Then the items are uncovered …you have to guess which one is missing? Game Two:  If you find two of each item, you can play Match the items!  place the items into pots, one pot per item, You can create your own lids from paper etc,  then you have to remember the placement of a pair of items. Your family can mix the pots up before you start to make it harder!

Game Three Below is an on line memory game that we have used in class….Can you hold all of the images in you mind?

Thank you for sending me your creative loose parts pictures.  I look forward to being sent other photos across the week of your white board writing, creative pictures or number bonds explorations and play!  Click here to download the:.Creative Thinking    explanation from Monday 23rd. These home activities are for both Nursery and Reception children. 

I have uploaded two photos from today’s home learning onto the schools main website . Have a look under the Foundation Stage pages on the main website.

I am sure that you remember the You Tube clip image above that we used in our singing and rhyming sessions across the last week of term .  Enjoy this song and dance at home with your family. See if you can remember the rhyming words within the song.

Please try to access Bug Club everyday with your child. Please focus on one book in detail and keep repeating this same book across a few days until your child is able to read the sentences fluently.  However, your child can play numerous phonics games that have been added onto their individual Bug Club page.

Do let me know if you have problem accessing the Bug Club site.

F1 Families :- If your Nursery child would like access to Bug Club which will allow them to look at books on line,  please do let me know. The first books have no words and the children just have to create their own stories using their language knowledge.

Take Care and Keep Safe From Miss Butler

   A house was created after searching in his house for items!      A rainbow,  rainbow circle and a bunny bookmark.

Thank you for sending in photos of your child’s learning.

Remember there aren’t any rules about what you can and can’t use when using loose parts and it is good to keep adding new materials and mixing things up. The same materials can be used in so many different ways by combining them with various other materials to produce different results each time.

Remember you don’t need to use glue and the items can be saved and used again.

Hello Everyone!

We hope you are managing to try some of the challenges and activities that we are setting for you on the home learning pages Foundation Stage Base 1 and 2? Please email the office and let us know how you are getting on! The cuddly toy balance and coordination activity is quite challenging~ can increase the number of toys you can lift from 5-10?

Are you remembering to care for the pea seeds you took home on Friday. Remember the pot needs to be placed on a window sill and you need to keep the soil MOIST not WET!! Remember the pea seed will swell and a little root will grow down and a little shoot will grow up and poke through the soil keep looking out for this to happen!

Enjoy reading books together!

Hello Everyone, Have a good Tuesday and keep busy having fun, playing and learning.

I forgot to say on Monday’s  ‘Creative Thinking’  post that the images you create DO NOT need any glue. The items you find can be arranged and then rearranged.

There aren’t any rules about what you can and can’t use and it is good to keep adding new materials and mixing things up. The same materials can be used in so many different ways by combining them with various other materials to produce different results each time.

                               Remember you can send photos to us using this site.

I also look forward to finding out about your children’s Ten Frame explorations using the shells you were given and the troll pictures! or your own toys.  Click here for  The Ten Frame  Our Maths Tubes 17.3.2020. This letter was placed into your child’s contact books last week. 

Keep Smiling
