Hello Everyone!
As you know, our topic this half term has been ‘Do Cows Drink Milk?’ The work we have been completing in class has been linked to this topic. Over the coming weeks I will put work and activities on this page for you to complete with your child. Some of this work will be linked to the topic. Others will be more phonics or maths based. Other activities may also be suggested. A list of recommended websites will published, on both the school website and face book page. It will also be emailed out to those parents who have registered their email with Parent Pay.
I have posted the Reception tricky words on the Earls Hill Class page, under the ‘Spellings’ heading. I will also be posting weekly spellings for the fruit groups as usual. To keep routine, you can practise these each day as normal and then you can complete the “Spell Check” on a Friday. It would be great if you could email me a picture of the check at the end of each week! As a cheeky challenge with your spellings, you could even write a sentence using each of the words.
A work pack was sent home last week with each of the children in school. Please try and complete some of these packs each day. Your child also has their reading books. Reading everyday is still vital to your child’s education. In your child’s diary is the link to Purple Mash. I will also be setting tasks on their for your child to complete. These will vary each week. Year 1s have a Mathletics log in as well. If you do not have this, please email me on the class email and I will send it over to you.
Please take this time away to enjoy each other’s company. Although we have an expectation to complete school work, it will look different for every family. Don’t worry if your child is feeling stressed or worried about home learning. This is brand new to everyone. Try doing some crafty activities like baking or Art. This is a great way to make learning practical. These are uncertain times for everyone and you must do what is best for your family.
May I take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing support. I am very proud of all the children in Earls Hill class and the progress they have made since September. I am looking forward to welcoming them back into school as soon as we are able.
