11/1/21 Home Learning

Class: Mice Year: 2020 - 2021

Dear Foundation Stage,

Please find attached this week's homelearning planning. There is a timetable which outlines the activities we will be covering in classrooms each week. Staff have recorded videos to introduce each topic.

We recommend that you use Ruth Miskin's videos on youtube to practise phonics daily as each child will be working on different sounds. Please refer to your child's reading record to find out if your child is working on set 1 (single sounds and sh, ch, th, ng, nk) or set 2 (ay, ee, igh, ow, oo). Please contact your class teacher via email if you are still unsure. We have recorded a short video to model how we teach phonics in our classroom.

Please remember that in the class children will be working in a group with a grown ip and will be expected to focus for up to 10 minutes at a time. We would like yo see one piece of work each week to see how you are getting on.

This week, teachers would like to look at your guess who writing. You can either take a photograph of your work and send it to your teacher via email or alternatively you could use the writing too on purple mash to record your work.

This week we are starting live registers with you. We will have to have your microphones on mute, so please can you make a hello sign so that we can see you saying hello? We are looking forward to seeing you!

We hope you will have fun this week!
