Summer 2 – Week 4 – EYFS Weekly Update

PE
This week Base 1 enjoyed undertaking lots of different races using the track outside. 
 
Forest School
Base 2 went on a summer walk and completed a summer checklist. The children developed their seasonal vocabulary and enjoyed speaking about the changes they could see at this time of year, comparing it to other nature walks we have taken. 

 

RWI

Ways in which you can support your child are to:
Practise reading different individual sounds your child finds difficult.
Support your child to blend the sounds to read the word e.g. m-a-t = mat
When your child is confident reading aloud, encourage them to read in their head ‘Fred in their head’, develop fluency and read at speed.

Please ensure your child’s reading book and reading diary stay in your child’s plastic folder which comes to school every day so your child can read with an adult in school.

Books will only be updated when your child can confidently read the words fluently.

 

Maths
This week, we have enjoyed completing STEAM activities linked the to the theme ‘Connections’.

In the below activity, the children made a list of all the people they see and meet in their day to day life. On long strips of paper, the children drew a map of their journey to school, drawing key landmarks they see on their way. They then marked different people they see each day and discussed how they interact with each other. We then spoke about how they connect to each other.

 

Key questions you may wish to ask at home:

Who do you see during your day?

How are you connected to these people?

How do you communicate?

Who do they communicate with?

What technology helps us to communicate? 

 

Theme
This half term, our topic is based around ‘Journeys’ and this week we read ‘Handa’s Surprise’. The children will enjoy lots of activities linked to this story next week. .

STEAM Week Reminder – Dress up Monday 26th June

STEAM Week: Week Beginning Monday 26th June

Dear Parent/Carers,

This year, during our STEAM Week (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths), our whole school topic will be ‘Connections’. We have some exciting activities, ‘hands on’ experiments and investigations and music, art and design activities planned as part of this week. We will be looking at some famous inventors and scientists, the amazing things that they created and discovered, and the impact they have had on the world as well as having the opportunity to go on a learning journey ourselves. All children will have the opportunity to show their creativity, engineering and scientific learning throughout the week so please look out for uploads onto our website and twitter pages.

During the week, the children will be learning about all the careers linked to STEAM. On Monday 26th June, to begin our STEAM Week, all children are invited to come into school in any costumes linked to our theme. This may include dressing up as a famous inventor, scientist, discoverer, artist or musician. We hope that lots of children will take part in this opportunity to celebrate and discuss the range of careers linked to these subjects within school.

Many thanks for your continued support,

Miss Helen Gilbert
Science Coordinator

Challenge to complete at home to support learning in school:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zknsgk7/articles/zt4jj6f#zctyycw

Watch the link above and practise finding odd or even numbers up to 10 by sharing them equally between two groups. Do both groups have the same amount? Is this number odd or even?
