Here is this weeks learning:

  • Suggested timetable week beginning 1.2.21

  • Name writing practice and number formation - Please continue to practice this daily, if you notice any letters or numbers that are not correctly formed, encourage your child to practice them in isolation a few times. Here is the RWI sounds mat. You could ask your child to practice writing 3/4 of the sounds they already know per day, can they write a 3 or 4 letter word that you say to them? This could include ‘special friends’ such as sh-i-p = ship.

  • RWI phonics virtual lessons - Daily lessons. Ruth Miskin Training - YouTube
    I recommend watching these videos throughout the day, rather than in one go. The videos will be available from 9.30am for 24 hours, then they are removed and the next lesson’s video is available.
    You may find that the lessons which your child has done are now repeated, so the sound is one that your child has already done at home. If they are confident with the sound, you could use the next set’s lesson instead. For example, if the set 2 lesson is ee and you have already done that, please use the Set 3 speed sounds lesson on that day instead. Here is a breakdown of the sounds that the children learn in Read Write Inc. Set 1, 2, & 3 Sounds
    Please click on this link to check which lessons I suggest that your child engages with daily.
    If your child is finding the set 1 speed sounds too easy, please get them to watch set 2 speed sounds. And vice versa, if they are finding set 2 lessons too difficult, please get the children to use the set 1 lesson.

  • Ditty Photocopy sheets - Please make sure the children do the writing of the hold a sentence. You say the sentence a few times so the children can remember it, show the children how to write the sentence and then cover your writing so they can have a go at writing it themselves. Click here for the five sheets for this week, one per day.

  • Maths - Please use the challenge sheets and complete the tasks over 2/3 days, then move onto the next teen number. I will suggest two challenge sheets per week for you to work through. Here is number seventeen and eighteen for this week.

  • Yoga - Please use the Cosmic Kids yoga channel on Youtube or an alternative physical activity each day.

  • RE - The Children should know that Jesus has great love for each one of us. Introduce the story to your children ‘You are going to listen to a story about the time Jesus showed his friends how to welcome little children’ Primary Year A Quarter 1 Episode 12: "Let the Children Come" - YouTube ‘Jesus explained to the grown-ups that children are very special. Jesus loves each one of you!’
    You could create a paper craft hugging Jesus that shows he loves you. Watch the video to see how to make it.

  • Topic - Children’s Mental Health Week - Express Yourself! Please enjoy the story I have read in the video for this topic (See the Reception - News section for the video). Please work through the three remote lessons in the My Feelings folder on the Oak National Academy - Feelings - Oak National Academy (thenational.academy) The lessons include: naming and describing feelings and creating a feelings chart, acting out different feelings and using colours to represent different feelings.

  • Music - Mrs Benson has added new activities for the children to enjoy this week. Have a listen to the song ‘Mu Mum is Amazing.’ Do you like this song?

    Then, learn to sing the song “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.”

    Have fun!

Children’s Mental Health Week lovely extra activities:

  • Make an ocean in a bottle How To Create An Ocean In A Bottle - YouTube This is just a video for the adults! It goes into far too much detail for the children, but it is clear on how to make an ocean in a bottle. Feel free to add shells, pebbles, marbles and any little plastic sea creatures if you like. Your children could keep these and use them to help them to feel calm.

  • Who can I talk to? Activity. The children draw around their hand, then turn their fingertips into faces. The children then name five people they can talk to if they ever feel they need to. They could write this above the faces or an adult could write for them.

Here are some extra suggested activities if you have the time:
