Thursday 1st July

Happy Thursday everyone! 

Today's work will focus on:

* Reading
* Phonics
* Art & Design

Reading:

Listen again to the story ‘Little Red Hen’ (or alternatively, YouTube has versions too!)

• Can you tell your grown up when the animals were not being good friends?
• What should the animals have done to be good friends?
• What do you do that makes you a good friend?

If adults could scribe down the answers/thoughts the children have, I would love to see them!
We have lots of good friends in nursery so it would be nice to collate the ideas and share them together.

You can also find a range of stories on our virtual library here, on the school website:
https://www.lyndhurstprimary.com/reading-at-lyndhurst/virtual-libraries 

Here is Miss Blyth reading the story from Monday:

Phonics-

Play the game ‘I Hear with My Little Ear’!
Take it in turns to imitate the sound of something and guess what makes that sound. You could imitate the sounds of things found around your house, like a clock or a phone, or of recognisable animals like a cat or dog.

Art & Design -

The little red hen loves bread, it’s her favourite food.
Can you draw your favourite food and tell me why it is your favourite.
My choice would always be pizza but no pepperoni for me please!

As always, I hope you are all doing good listening and helping your grown ups at home!

Tomorrow, I am planning to do a zoom call so you can all catch up and have a chat - this will be at 10:30am and a link will be sent out tomorrow morning on our dojo page.

In the meantime, if there is anything I can do to support you at home, please let me know!

Wednesday 30th June

Good morning everyone! Hope you are all well & keeping safe!

Today's home learning includes:

* Maths
* Writing
* Special family time activity


Maths:

Can you make a picture of the little red hen using items found in your house?

Think about the shapes you need…
Circle – head/body
Triangle – nose

Writing:

Practise writing your name, ask an adult to model this for you.
For those staying with us in nursery next year, tracing your name would be a brilliant first step!
Use different colours/writing tools to make it more engaging.
Send me pictures on dojos – I’d love to see them!




Family time:

Enjoy some quiet time with your family.
Maybe you could do something fun together such as:

* Watch a movie
* Bake
* Play a game
* Get creative

Your grown-ups are working very hard to keep you safe and happy at home, so take it easy on them and let them win a game or two!

I have really enjoyed seeing all your hard work so far this week, I'm going to share some of your work on class story tomorrow so make sure you ask parents/carers to send me some pictures/videos of you being brilliant!

As always, if there is anything you need, please don't hesitate to contact me on dojos!

Tuesday 29th June


Happy Tuesday everyone!
Today's home learning includes:

* Maths
* Physical Activity
* Reading

Maths:
Farm yard I spy.
How many of each animal can you find?
Have a go at writing the number – your grown up will need to model this for you (if you’re staying in nursery next year, you can trace your grown-ups writing!)

You do not need to print these if you don't have access to a printed. Either have a go on a screen or use a similar idea but with objects round your house (cushions, lego pieces, pasta etc).

Physical Activity:

Extra dojo points for children that get their family involved too!

Reading:

Learn the song ‘Old Macdonald has a farm’.
There are lots of examples on YouTube but it’s always more fun to sing with your family at home!

Monday 28th June


Good morning everyone!
Here is today's work for you to have a go at at home...

* Story
* Phonics
* Fine Motor Skills Challenge

Story - The Little Red Hen

If you would like to re-read the story, you can find it here...

Phonics:

Practise making the sounds that you may hear on a farm.
What animals live there?
What do they sound like?

Dojo points for anyone that sends me a video of them doing the sounds!

Fine Motor Skills:

A few weeks ago, a pack was sent home to all nursery children containing pompoms, cups and tweezers/scissors.
Today, I’d like you to have a go using the tools to create patterns/letters with the pompoms.
It would be really helpful if your grown up could draw or write the pattern/letters on some paper for support.


I will make sure to have work uploaded by 9am every morning, with a link on dojos.
If there is ANYTHING you need, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Stay safe everyone!
