Week 5 Summer Term Dear Parent Mrs Maskew here !! I will be back with you all at the beginning of the next half term. This week I am dipping my toes in to help get my head around how this all works! So please bare with me, you are all old hands at this now. I have been watching you all on Tapestry and the amazing work you are doing with your children. You all need to be awarded the parent of the year and the Role Model of the year. Who could have predicted that you would be called upon to be so versatile. I do hope you are well and taking good care. Mrs Rose, Mrs Batty and all the EYFS Staff have also earned a Superhero Award for their dedication to you all throughout this unbelievable phenomenon. As Mrs Rose explained in her letter to you last week how planning across school is going to change from now on. This is to assist you if you have several children of different ages in our school. At last we have reached the last week before half term, it is nearly time to have a well earned rest from home schooling! This week I have tried not to plan too many things for you to do. I have chosen to weave the activities around the creative activities on Cornerstones.Therefore, there will be a different theme each day. In order to bring together all of the lovely learning you have all been doing, I have planned some revision of the learning objectives by revisiting some of the phonic sounds and maths skills. As Mrs Rose has said, PLEASE, please, please just pick what interests your child or what you feel they need most. You are all doing so many other valuable activities with your children that do not link to the plans but are so important for their development e.g. throwing and catching a ball, kids yoga, baking, preparing meals, digging in the garden, caring for animals. Whatever you do is valuable time spent with your child. Remember if you are finding all of this really quite daunting use the materials in the pack you were given before the Easter break, tricky words and so on to keep your child's brain turning over. The text in pink are suggested extension activities if you feel your child would like more work to do or they are achieving the set tasks quickly and easily and therefore need stretching. Please remember we are all on hand to help you. Just add an observation to your child's Tapestry The text in red is for your information. You DO NOT need to read this to your child. If you need assistance use your childs journal, that way ONLY staff will see what you write, and we can respond just to you. Thank you and well done for doing so amazingly well at homeschooling.
Best wishes from Mrs Maskew,Mrs Rose, Mrs Batty and all of the EYFS team.
