Phonics 

Nursery 

Let’s have  a reminder of all of the letters and sounds we have looked at: 

Set 1: s, a, t, p 

Set 2: i, n, m, d 

Set 3: g, o, c, k 

Set 4: ck, e, u, r 

Set 5: h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss 

This video reminds us of the sounds and helps us practise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIpcahxNSU4 

Reception 

Let’s revise the vowel digraphs oo and or 

oo- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfMKV_9agiY 

or- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33kvsqyOYdg 

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

he, she,  we, me, be, was, you, they, all, are, my, her  

Can they use their phonic knowledge to sound out the words shown http://www.letters-and-sounds.com/resources/p4cvcc1.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 11 and the ‘The Dinosaur that pooped a planet’ 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.   

This week the children will find out about the water cycle.  How does the rain come out of the clouds? You could use sponges in water to recreate the water cycle: use different vocabulary to explain the process: rain, cloud, shower, storm, droplets. 

Try ‘being a cloud’: imagine you are a cloud what would you see if you were above your house (when you have imagined make a drawing and then have a look on google maps aerial view of what it looks like).

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. There are now 184 learning activities on there!  Well done to all of you who have been doing them, especially to Damien and Isaac who have nearly done them all!!

School re-opening 

It was lovely to see so many of Reception last week and we are all really looking forward to seeing them again this week!  There is no need to bring back any of the paper activities that we sent home last week, just the reading book and the folder is fine.  We will then re-assess the children and send home some more personalised learning materials. 

Hope you are all well and continue to stay safe.
