Home learning

We’ve loved seeing all of your home learning coming into school. As we move forward with not being at school please try as many of the learning activities in your home learning pack. Check here on the blog everyday from Monday to Friday for more learning support, ideas, games and links. All the ideas on the blog will support the learning in the home learning packs as well as help with reading, phonics and maths. Thank you for all of your support and keep us updated with your child’s learning by using EExAT and commenting on the blog.

Dinosaur detectives

We wrote about what we thought had happened in our classroom when we came into a big mess after half term. The children’s ideas were creative, funny and so imaginative! They’re a pleasure to read. If you’d like to read your child’s story, please ask in the mornings to see it. They would love to sit with you and read it to you.

Number pairs to 10

We’ve been practising our number pairs to 10. We each got given a number card between 0 and 10 and had to dance around the room to music. When the music stopped we had to find our partner. The only rule was that both numbers had to equal 10.

World Book Day 📖 📚

We had a brilliant world book day. We had the opportunity to parade around the school to show off our fabulous outfits, we had story time every half an hour throughout the day and we’re looking forward to getting the reading suitcase. Ask your child all about it! We love reading and stories and today was a great day to celebrate that!

Our dinotastic week 🦖🦕

On Monday we arrived at school to another mess in our home corner. We think our classroom had been visited by a dinosaur! Some of the children were convinced in was a T-Rex because of the shape of the footprints. We reported the incident by recording everything we could see on an incident report.

In our maths this week we have been learning about number pairs. We’ve been investigating number pairs to a number between 5 and 10 by using the part part whole method.

We have some new additions to Skipper Foundation. We have been so excited this week to settle the tadpoles into our class. We’ve been checking on them at every opportunity. We’ve found that they are great to help with relaxation and feeling calm. They have also raised some brilliant questions about the life cycle of a frog and we can’t wait to watch them grow and transform. Once they’re big enough we’ll release them into our pond.

Damers Dancers

Today Skipper Foundation had the opportunity to perform the Cha Cha Cha, a dance they have learnt and practised for 5 weeks! They were amazing and blew everyone away with great team work, coordination, timing and smiles. I am so proud of their effort and enthusiasm for learning the dance and we’re already looking forward to learning another. Another great achievement Skipper F, well done.

If you weren’t lucky enough to see the children perform today perhaps you could click on the link below and ask them to show you at home. Or better yet, let them teach you and become their dance partner!

Manfred’s Mambo – The Cha Cha Cha

Step, step, Cha Cha Cha 💃🏻 🕺🏽

I’m sure you’ve been hearing a lot about the Cha Cha Cha over the last couple of weeks. Well, the children have been dancing their socks off and speaking the steps as they move around the school. They can’t wait to show off their dance on Monday 10th February at 1.45pm in the main school hall. You won’t want to miss this one!
