Homework 26.01.24

As part of our work around the Jill Murphy book Whatever Next we have started to identify and discuss the planets. We have listened to Gustav Holst’s Venus, Mercury and Mars. Can the children choose one of the planets they would like to listen to with you.

In maths we have been exploring capacity. The children are good at using the vocabulary e.g. full, nearly full, half full…

We have been comparing how much different containers can hold, for example, “The blue cup is full of sand. If I tip the sand into the yellow bowl, will the bowl be full?”

Could the children find a variety of containers and explore capacity. Please add any photos or comments to Tapestry or the Home School Book.

Thank you

Homework 19.01.24

This week in Forest School the children have enjoyed making ice decorations. This weekend we would like them to make some at home.

The children will select some natural objects such as conkers, leaves etc and add them to muffin tins which have some water in. They will then add some string which will be the handle . Leave the muffin tray outside and the children can keep checking to see if the water has turned to ice. Can they talk about the process? Are they able to tell you what would happen if they took their ice decorations inside?

Please add any photos to Tapestry.

Forest School

Just to confirm, unlike previous years, we have Forest School sessions every week throughout the year. Mrs Pollard’s class have their sessions every Monday, Miss Hellyar-Jones class, every Thursday. If there is a change to this routine we will let you know via the website and Home School Links books.

 

Homework 12.01.24

This week we have been sharing Jill Murphy books with the children. Each child had a Jill Murphy book from school for Christmas. Could you read your child’s book with them over the weekend, discuss the characters and the beginning, middle and end of the story. Perhaps you could visit the library and look for other Jill Murphy stories or look online.
