week-7-june-8th

Week 7 - Monday 8th June Dear Parents A few key changes for our home learners: Many EYFS children return to school full time on Monday. The school and home learners both have the same planning.

Therefore the home learning slides will be different this week to enable you as well as the staff to be more flexible and meet the needs of all children (who as you know have different abilities and learn at different speeds).

Starting this week we will only be awarding home learners rewards such as Star of The Week at the end of the week rather than at the end of every day.

We will be using Oxford Owls so if you haven't already become a member (FOR FREE) please do so this week.

Please remember the activities here are suggestions to keep your child engaged in learning and making progress at home. We will continue to look carefully at what you upload onto Tapestry. However we will usually only have time to ‘like’ these rather than write a comment now we are teaching full time in school. We are always available for support so please message us and we will reply. We like to know at least once a week how your child is progressing so please keep in touch. Thank you for continuing to support and encourage learning at home.

In case you or your child are missing tangrams here are lots of Tangram activities on Twinkl (many easier than the ones you had before Easter!)! There are lots of new files for you to use if you wish in Documents under ‘Week 7 (June 8th)’ and some of the other files. These both support the slides below OR offer some alternatives. They are worth looking at even if you do not wish to print them they may give you ideas.

Many thanks for your continued support and the wonderful work you are doing with your child.

From Mrs Rose, Mrs Maskew, Mrs Batty and the EYFS team.

Communication, Language and Literacy and Personal, Social and Emotional Learning The children at school will spend a lot of time having the opportunity to talk about their feelings generally, in relation to lockdown and returning to school. Children at home may also really benefit from lots of opportunity to discuss, draw, act out their feelings and emotions. Even though they are not returning to school they will have experienced feelings in relation to the slightly lifted lockdown e.g. might now see Grandparents, extended family outside. How does it feel to see these people but not be able to hug them? etc.

YOU WILL NEED TO LOG INTO OXFORD READING OWLS https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/ then browse ebooks You could these books to stimulate discussions in relation to feelings.

On espresso you could use: https://central.espresso.co.uk/espresso/primary_uk/subject/module/video/item1166037/ gradef/module1162916/index.html and possibly use emotions sheet in Documents to make a feelings poster or to aid discussion. There are other activities linked to that video.

This book (and game) is also useful for children remaining at home. https://subscriptions.earlyyearsstorybox.com/ dont-worry-little-bear-book/?_ga=2.6265524.

Reading practise Use books on Oxford owl website if you haven’t already and choose appropriate books for your child to read. This one would be a good starting point as most children have been bike riding in Lockdown. https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/api/interactives/29284.html

This weeks whole school theme is Creativity. The idea is that you choose which activities you do and in which order. However some of these activities you might have completed before therefore we have added some similar alternatives.

You may like to use music or dance to explore feelings. https://central.espresso.co.uk/espre sso/modules/news/ey_news/music/ 110706m_happy.html?source=sear ch-all-all-all-all&source-keywords=h ow%20music%20makes%20you%2 0feel

You may like to do the ‘Double number dance’ (link below) or make up your own!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4U2QLjqripY

Instead you could cut leaves into different shapes. These could be symmetrical shapes?

You could make cornflour gloop - just cornflour and water if you cannot get these ingredients?

After reading ‘Winnie and Wilbur Stay at Home’ you could make a potion AND write your own Spell!

Or even better make a mud pie or potion!

Writing ideas for Home learners Can you make your own June journal?

You can do this however you like but here are some ideas.

Write one word across the journal page that best describes your day.

Draw a picture or map.

Write in your journal using colourful markers, coloured pencils or crayons!

Cut and paste your favorite pictures from magazines into your journal.

Summarise your day in 20 words or less.

Further writing ideas

After you have read ‘Winnie and Wilbur stay at home’ on Oxford Owls your child could make up and then write a spell. We would love to read your spells and try them out at school!

Well done you for all your great learning in week 7!
