Summer 1 – Week 3- EYFS Weekly Update

PE
Base 1 balanced beanbags on different body parts and practised their sending and receiving skills. 

 

Forest School

The children made their own crowns to celebrate the King’s Coronation this Saturday. They added natural items found outside to card. We then held our own procession and the children enjoyed demonstrating their understanding of what takes place and role playing as the King!

Ways in which you can support your child are to:
Practise reading different individual sounds your child finds difficult –  sounds your child needs to learn have been given to you at parents evening.
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’.

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. We aim to listen to your child at least once a week.

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

 

Maths
This week, we are learning to count on (numbers 1-20).

Challenge to complete at home:

Play a board game and count on the correct number of steps after rolling the dice.

You may wish to print this or if you do not have a printer or board games please come and speak to us so we can print one out for you.

Theme
This half term, our topic is Animal Magic.

This week we have learnt lots factual information about the life of King Charles III and the Coronation. The children have had lots of opportunity to develop a range of skills during their independent learning time linked to this week’s theme.

 

Reminders

Thank you to all the parents that were able to attend our Coronation parent workshop.

 

Thank you for your continued support,

The EYFS Team.

Assembly visitor

On Monday this week, Suleman Bhamji, from the Telford Central Mosque in Wellington, visited us in assembly.  He talked about the 5 pillars of Islam explaining them briefly and then answered questions posed by the children. They asked some really thoughtful questions and it was a very informative assembly.

Year 6 Snow Day

Good morning everyone – happy Snow Day!

Here’s some ideas of things you could do today whilst enjoying the snow. Please take some photos, as we would love to see what you get up to!

 

3D shape (which was meant to be today’s focus)

Everyone is always keen to dive into the snow to make snow spheres (aka snowballs) but what other 3D objects are you able to make? A cube? Cuboid? Squared based pyramid? Tetrahedron?

Aim big – could you build a snow igloo using snow cuboids (bricks)? How many bricks are needed to make each row?

 

Poetry (our genre for reading next week)

Write a poem based on the ‘Snow Day’. Consider the emotions an unexpected snow day could cause and the beautiful views which it creates. What type of poem will you write? A haiku? Acrostic? Cinquain? A Shape poem, like the ‘Elevate’ one we studied Wednesday?

Other ideas:

There are so many other exciting activities which you could do. How about you have a go at completing this Snow Day Bingo:

Have a great day, stay stafe and enjoy the snow!
