Dosbarth Pendre

Phonics

Nursery
Lets 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

There is a good game to play here…

Reception
Let’s revise the vowel trigraphs ‘ear’ and ‘air’



where they can practise finding words with the diagraphs we have been looking at (chose phase 3 digraphs)

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…

There are games that we have played in class on:




Maths
There is a final set of activities at https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/  (summer term week 12 and the ‘How many legs’ 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 has been ‘Splendid Skies’ and was all about the weather. 
The weather is set to be better this week (fingers crossed!). On a sunny day encourage the children to investigate how shadows are made. Allow them to take objects outside to investigate shadows. Include objects with holes in them e.g. sieves, colanders or plant pots for interest. How does the shadow change as the object is turned? Remind them of the safety aspect of never looking directly at the sun.
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

School re-opening
It has been great to see Reception over the last three weeks.  Thank you for all your support with learning materials sent home.

Next year
Although this year has been a strange one and had its challenges for us all, it has been an absolute pleasure to get to know your children and be their teacher this year.  Hopefully you will have seen a communication from Mrs Price to confirm that I will be teaching Reception/Year 1 next year, and that Miss Hughes and Mrs Bamford will continue to be part of the team.  I am delighted, and I hope you agree that it will also be very beneficial for the children to have familiar faces to come back to next year after the disruption and uncertainty this year has brought.

Hope you all have a great summer and continue to stay safe. I look forward to seeing you all in September.

Mr Griffiths

P.S. Please find below a ‘starting Reception checklist’ for next year, which lists the kind of things the children could do with knowing/being able to do for when they start full days in school
