Good morning everyone,
I hope you had a good weekend. As usual on a Monday, I will begin by sharing with you my plans for the week, assembly links and celebrate last week’s home learning.
Religious Education
Please find below links to Mr Bedford’s weekly worship assembly and also a short ten minute assembly from TenTen Resources.
Altar for Mary
Here is a lovely altar to celebrate Mary in the month of May.
Letters and Sounds
Sounds in the lava
This game involved sounds written on pieces of paper. The floor is the lava. Adult calls out a sound and child has to step towards the sound without falling into the lava.
Longer words
This game involves creating words cards and adding letters to extend blending skills. For example, ten – tent, hum – hump, and – band, den – dent, and – land, win – wind, lap – clap.
Maths
Snack shop
This snack shop was set up and the children in the family were given a pot of coins – 1p, 2p, 5p. The children had to use the correct money to buy their snack.
Elmer the Patchwork Elephant
Create your own Elmer using a milk bottle cut in half and glue on coloured paper patches. Also a successful rainbow experiment.
Story Making
A Jack and the Beanstalk landscape which included some adaptations to the story.
Learning to cut
Helping out to cut up at snack time is a great way to strength those small muscles in hands and fingers essential for writing.
Earthquake Experiment
Making structures that were tested in a tray of jelly to simulate an earthquake.
Being the teacher
Finally, your child may not have co-operative family members to hand but most children love to be the teacher. Maybe you could play a game where your child has to teach you verbally by calling out instructions to do something simple like put on your socks! This can be quite tricky and will strengthen your child’s language skills.
Enjoy your day
Nicola Palmer
