Hello everyone.
I hope that you are keeping well that and you and your families are safe and healthy at this strange time. I am just adding some updated ideas below to help keep you in touch with a little bit of school work over the week. Parents, please remember these are merely guidelines and I must stress how it is not imperative that your daughter completes all of this work. I understand that for many reasons this may not be possible and keeping safe and healthy is the priority at the moment. Reading
Sounds
Oral Language: Login to Folens as described above.
Writing Keep up the letter formation and activities mentioned previously. Don't forget that cutting, sticking, painting, colouring and drawing are all important, worthwhile activities to help your child's pencil and scissor grip and help improve their fine motor skills. Maths
Number Time is a good educational show you can watch. Each episode is dedicated to a number and is a fun way to reinforce their learning. It can be found on youtube. The following is the link for Number 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apb7dvLl5Yo Rhymes for number formation:
Other Ideas:
As stated previously, the priority right now is that we all remain safe and well. These are all suggestions to help you if you wish to use them. Ultimately, at this age the children learn through play, experiences and opportunities to practice their language and learning in practical ways. Getting your child to help make a pizza or pancakes herself while talking about these activities is as rich a learning experience as any classroom discussion! Play is her work and if that is all she needs to keep her happy and well at this time then that is plenty! However if you feel your daughter would benefit from a little feeling of responsibility by doing some work for teacher then these ideas may help. This is an unprecedented time for us all and we are all trying to navigate our way as best we can. Thank you very much for your continued help and support with your child's learning. Wishing you all good health and a lovely Easter. Core Reader 3 -Continue to read Let's Make Pancakes and begin to read Fish and Chips.
Oxford Owls have a free ebook library which is very good. There is a graded reading scheme which you can access - Oxford Reading Tree. Your child will be able to find some of the sight words that we had been learning and hopefully begin to have a successful reading experience. I must stress that reading is meant to be an enjoyable experience at this age so if she is feeling unsure or under pressure in any way, you could just read these books to her. There is an audio function on them also. We are all at different stages of reading readiness in our class and rest assured we will all learn to read eventually so don't worry. These are just suggestions to help you, not work to be covered. http://www.oxfordowl.co.uk Here are the 26 letters of the alphabet in cursive script. We have not covered them all in class yet ( w,b,v,k,x,j,q and z to be done when we get back to normal) but I have posted them so that you can help your child to write her name in cursive script. Also she could try to write the words I have listed below - these are words that we will be writing in unruled copies to start with, so you could get her to write some on a blank sheet of paper if possible. Always start with a slant (your daughter will know what this means!) If she is not enjoying the experience of writing JUST LEAVE IT. We will pick up where we left off, and we do not want to put any undue pressure on parents or children at this time. So if she wants to write, write and if she doesn't want to -don't worry.
