Home Learning
Week Beginning 6th July
This week the children continued to learn their phonics sounds and tricky words. They read their favourite books and used Busy Things to play maths and language games.
Week Beggining 29nd June
This week the children had another music lesson from BYMT and had lots of dancing and had lots of different dancing activities to do.
They watched Mr Tumble and Signing Hands were they can watch and learn sign language.
Week Beginning 22nd June
This week the children focused on shapes and were asked to go on a shape hunt around their home and they watched shape songs on the BBC website and on youtube.
They also went on a shape hunt outside when out walking or in the garden. They drew pictures using different shapes and colours. A few suggestions were a house, the garden or a spaceship.
Week Beginning 15th June
This week the children had a different Maths Challenge every day. They completed activities and games on Busy Things, went for a walk to find the numbers on the doors and I asked them to tell me the highest number that they found. They also counted out how many different toys they had and made a den so they could go on an adventure with their teddy bear.
Week Beginning 8th June
This weeks book was Dear Zoo and the children completed sentences from the story and then chose which animals they would like to turn up at their home. They made models of animals from play dough and made animal noises. I also asked them to login to live webcams of animals and look up and Google for information about their favourite animal.
They practised Jolly Phonics every day and also brushed their teeth after lunch using the Brush Bus song to help.
Week Beginning 1st June
The topic this Half Term is “Our Favourite Books” so I have been thinking about mine and a few of my favourites are “Titch” “Whatever Next!”, “Bear Hunt” and “Commotion in the Ocean”. We will be looking at one book each week, if you have a particular favourite please let me know and we might be able to look at those too.
Week Beginning 18th May
This week was Mental Health Week and one of the topics was “Time to Talk” and I asked all of the adults to take some time out for themselves and to make a phone call, text or face time someone they care about and have a little chat.
The children looked at nursery rhymes and played in water using different containers and looked at empty, full and half full. They joined in with the BYMT session and I also asked them to make their own musical instruments using saucepans or anything else they could find.
Week Beginning 11th May
This week the children looked at The Gingerbread Man.
They revised their Phonics through using the Jolly Phonics songs and also looked at the "Tricky Words" again this was done through a song which the children really engage with. They read the story of The Gingerbread Man and used the repetition to re tell the story by making a story map and labelling what they drew.
For their maths learning they made Gingerbread men by measuring the ingredients. One child sent me a picture of a Gingerbread Man missing his legs before her mum had a chance to take a picture of him!!
The children were asked to draw or paint a picture of a Gingerbread Man and to re write the story using different characters.
A music lesson was provided by Bromley Youth Music Trust online and the link was given to all of the children.
Week Beginning 4th May
This week we will be looking at the story of Little Red Riding Hood.
Monday 4th
Watch Jolly Phonics and practice the sounds together, write them down on the whiteboard. After the song choose a couple of sounds and write down a word that begins with each sound.
The Department of Education has released their own phonics lesson on YouTube, which they will be posting everyday at 10am. I will put up the DfE link so that you can choose which one to watch.
Watch Little Red Riding Hood on Learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org.
Bromley Youth Music Trust have released some music lessons which are great for your children, please log on and do today’s music lesson.
This afternoon after Brush Bus read a book together and then see if you can do THE SOCK CHALLENGE!
How many socks can you put on in 30 seconds?
Set yourselves a timer and try a few times to get your best score.
