Can you please help your children to learn the following tricky words (which can't yet be decoded)

said, have, like, so, do, some, come, were

Can they use their phonic knowledge to sound out the words shown http://www.letters-and-sounds.com/resources/p4poly.pdf

(no need to print out, you could just copy the words or read from a screen).

There is a game to play here https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/4/sentence-substitution-ph4

Which uses all the sounds they have learned so far.

As before, this is the video of the song we have used in class to say the names of the letters as well as the sounds they make – our alphabet song…

Maths

There are more great activities on https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/  (summer term week 10 and the ‘Oliver’s vegetables’ section).  As before there are 5 days worth of activities here based around a book, but you don’t have to have the books to do them.  They are all very practical activities that you can do, there is no need to print anything off, just download the ‘get the activity’ for each day.

PE

Joe Wicks is still doing PE sessions, but only  3 times a week now at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ he is live at 9am but you can watch any time after as well.  RCT have produced some guidance and activities too, which is available here http://d6vsczyu1rky0.cloudfront.net/33281_b/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Wellbeing-Pack-Four-Diet-and-Exercise.pdf

Topic

Our topic for the last half-term is called ‘Splendid Skies’ and is all about the weather. 

Can you create a dance involving the wind? You could move like a leaf on a tree, live a wave, a windmill or a flag blowing in the breeze.  You could link it to a breeze, a whirlwind or even a tornado.  Could you take some photos or even make a video?

If you would like to get creative, can you design something that would fly in the air, like a kite or an aeroplane.  You could make a ‘junk model’ using recycling.

Reading

Keep reading as much as you can!  If you need any logins (oxford reading buddy / hwb / study ladder) please let me know.

Study ladder

I have added more activities onto study ladder: www.studyladder.com

I have been working on creating a new website for our school, and this is now live at www.llanharanprimary.com if you would like to have a look.  It is still a work in progress!

School re-opening

I am really looking forward to seeing Reception this week.  I plan to give everyone some personalised learning on maths and phonics to bring home as well.

Hope you are all well and continue to stay safe.

Our topic for the last half-term is called ‘Splendid Skies’ and is all about the weather. 

This week the children could talk about some extreme weather conditions, for example the flooding we had in recently in Wales or tornados in America.  Discuss what happened and the consequences, and move on to talk about all extreme weather conditions we can have and the effects they can have.  Here is a video about tornados https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s3UwOq1P1E and one about floods https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe350nm_odA

Our topic for the last half-term is called ‘Splendid Skies’ and is all about the weather.  It was great to see some photos of children dressed in seasonal clothes last week!

This week, can the children watch a TV weather report.  Then can they become the weather presenter and y create their own weather report!  They could draw some pictures of the sun or clouds and use these as props.

Can they remember any Welsh words for the weather?

Topic

Our topic for the last half-term is called ‘Splendid Skies’ and is all about the weather.  Last week we thought about seasons.  This week can the children go out for a walk and look for some real-life signs of the seasons – leaves on trees, clouds in the sky, flowers, buds, sticks on the ground etc.  What colours can they see?  Can they take a photo or make a drawing?

Think about different clothes that we wear during the different seasons, and why we wear them.  Again, they could draw some pictures of what they wear in different seasons, or get dressed up and take some photos!

Topic

Our topic for the last half-term is called ‘Splendid Skies’ and is all about the weather.  This week the children could keep a record of the weather during the week, so practising the days of the week as well.  As it’s likely to be warm all week, perhaps they could look at the temperature for each day and compare.  What was the warmest/coldest day of the week?

There is a seasons sorting activity here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uBiMGmcAQ05b8X9v_q4um-9z5sF3_hc3/view?usp=sharing

Again, you don’t have to print it out, you could just discuss the seasons and which picture belongs with whih season.
