Another great day of learning yesterday – you are keeping busy. I posted lots more pictures from home yesterday – i’m sorry I can’t post them all as there are so many fantastic things you have been up to but I am trying to vary the selection. I am also working on putting some videos together… watch this space!
So we officially finish for the Easter holidays today which seems very strange in these circumstances. I am not setting any new challenges today but want to give you some activities that you may like to do over the holidays.
Please continue to practice phonics, literacy – reading, telling stories, writing and pencil control, maths – counting, number, ordering, addding/subtracting, problem solving (lots of ideas/resources/links on the blog to look back over). Also things like learning new life skills at home like zipping up your own coat, getting dressed independently and helping to set the table and prepare tea.
Below are just a few Easter activity ideas:
Remember to check the Twinkl home learning hub – gives you a daily timetable of activities should you wish to keep some structure throughout the holidays. https://www.twinkl.co.uk/home-learning-hub
I will throughout today keep posting some more Easter ideas so please check back later this afternoon.
Purple Mash – Lots of you have now been given your Purple Mash logins, there are so many fantastic activities on there. Have a play with it and see what activities you enjoy. I have set a 2Do of designing an Easter egg – I look forward to seeing the finished eggs.
Observations on 2 Build a Profile
We have received so many fantastic observations so far. It is lovely to see what the children are keeping busy with at home. 2Build have had an influx of home observations across the country with the closure of schools. What I would suggest is only send pictures/observations on 2Build if it is something new your child has learnt and can now do independently or something that has WOW’d you with links they have made or something they have said. For example – can now write their name on their own with no help, can now zip up their coat on their own or get dressed independently, made an observation of something in the environment, used new vocabulary and made links, new learning they have achieved on their own – counting, adding etc. I hope this helps. Please email if you have any questions.
Therefore please feel free to email any pictures of what your child is busy with over the holidays if you wish. You could perhaps do it at the end of the week as a pic collage. I may not be on email or the blog as much over the holidays but will be officially signing back on Monday 20th April. I will put a selection of photographs from home on the blog towards the end of the holidays. Please also feel free to email me for more activities or challenges – I am more than happy to email anything over if you wish to print more (I just might not pick this up straight away). fsbrandesburton@gmail.com
It’s been a tricky and unknown time for us all and you have all been amazing, both Mrs Brompton and myself are very proud of you all! I hope you manage to enjoy the ‘Easter holidays’ as much as you can, have fun but please stay safe and stay home. X
