Home Learning week beginning 29/06/20

For the next 2 weeks we are learning about 'Summer and Transition into your new group/class'! This week we are focusing on food from the farm! Keep up the great work and don't forget to show me what you have been up to or to ask any questions via Tapestry or my email below.

Topic/Story

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpJumAZx1t8

Watch the story 'Sharing a Shell. It's a lovely story about the seaside and friendship.

Writing/Mark Making

Have a think and a chat with your grown up about your time in Nursery. You might have only been 2 when you started!!!. Can you draw a picture of your favourite memory? It might be a friend you made, something we learned about, something funny that you can remember - anything you like! Draw a picture and 'write' about it too if you want, I can't wait to read them

Maths

Go on a 'Rainbow Treasure Hunt' Use a similar sheet to the one below and whilst out on a walk or in your garden see what natural materials you can collect that match the colours of the rainbow. Then count how many different things you collected. How many red/orange/yellow/green/blue things etc? Which colour had the most? Which colour had the least?

Play Based

Make a seaside in a jar! See the instructions below! Or you could make a seaside on a plate or in a box, whatever you like! Get creative

Pack a bag you would take with you to the seaside! Think about all of the things you'll need Then go out into the garden and pretend you're at the beach! If you have a sandpit use that and some water too, just have fun!!!

Yoga

We love Cosmic Kids Yoga at school. Below is a link to 'Calypso the Flamingo' you can try this week!

Sport Challenge - Week Eight

This week's challenge is:

How many socks can you get in the box?

Find a box or basket, any type of container you can find. Find 4 pairs of socks and roll them into a ball. Take 5 steps back from the container, how many socks can you get in the box? If you manage to do all 4, take another step back and see how many you can get in. How many steps back can you go before it becomes too tricky,

Email your results to your teacher and maybe even take a photo of you doing it.

See if you can beat your grown up.

Good luck and have fun!

Online Safety During the school closures our children will be spending more time online and as parents we may not be as engaged as we usually are as we try to balance work deadlines with childcare. Screen time is inevitably going to be increased for most families and it is more important than before that we remind ourselves how to keep our children safe online.

Keeping active at home!

Fitness Calendar March.jpg

On a normal school day the government requires schools to provide children with a minimum of 2 hours of Sports a week. To help you keep your child active during school closures Premiere Education have provided us with an active calendar to follow. There is an activity on there for most days. Exercise is very important for physical and mental well-being, I hope these suggestions will be helpful.

Keep an eye out for the April and May Calendar should we need them.

Thank you Miss Drake

If you are self isolating, here are some suggested activities for you to try at home. Please post a picture of anything you do on your child's tapestry account for us to have a look at.
