Let's Start our Wonderful Wednesday!

Just like yesterday, let’s start our day the same way that we would if we were in our classroom together!

Let’s sing our Days of the Week song! – I wonder if you can have a go without the song today!

 

Can you share with your family:

 

Today is ________

Yesterday was _________

Tomorrow will be _________

 

Have a look on the bead string below (just like the one we have on our working wall!) can you retell what the date is today?

I have added the word ‘yesterday’ to help you!

Today is _______

The date is the ____ of November

Have a go at choosing a different action to count your way to todays date! Ask an adult to help you😃

- clapping

- jumping

- stomping

- fairy claps

- fairy jumps

- star jumps

Good Morning Early Years! 🌟

W E L C O M E    T O

As we begin our second day of home learning, please ensure to look at our class blog for all activities. Just like yesterday we will have a specific Phonics/Listening & Attention Activity, Writing, Maths, Story time and an Art Activity (scroll to see them all or you can also use the side under 'November' to look through the posts from yesterday and today)

Don’t forget to have time throughout your day for P L A Y!

 

Remember, some posts will be for us all, and some will be directed at Nursery and others at Reception, to support everyone's learning 😊

Please feel free to look and use all of our posts!

 

Please send your amazing work, thoughts and ideas to debeauvoirprimaryschool@gmail.com and feel free to comment on any post!

I look forward to seeing your work throughout the day.

Paula's Super Productive Day!

Thank you Paula and family for sending through pictures of your play, phonics and writing activity!😀

I was so excited to receive it!!

What a wonderful castle you built during your play! I wonder how many different coloured pieces you have used...

Look at all your amazing Phonic sounds!

Can you share with your family the sound of each letter?

I can see your favourite animal on our new mat is a bear. I love the way you have used your phonic sounds to write 'B-bear', and the way you have added some sounds for 'leaves'.

You should feel so proud of your wonderful writing and your detailed picture!🤩

Amazing Al-Ameen is working super hard today!

It is wonderful to see Al-Ameen using his resource pack to help him with recording numerals, tracing and making shapes today!

Well done Al-Ameen for carefully tracing around the ruler to make your triangle! I wonder if you could find triangles around the house - count the sides and corners of them - what do you notice?😀

Keep it up Superstar! 🌟

S U R P R I S E! ~ C&L and Writing/Mark Making

Look at our new incredible mat!! 😱😍

Thank you Miss Rader for ordering this for us!

We are so excited to have such a beautiful, big and bright mat in our classroom.

Today, for our C&L (Communication & Language) and Writing Task we will be using our new mat!

To begin, can you all name the animals on our new mat?

Reception: Can you describe the animals? Think about their size, how many legs they have? Do they have a tail? Describe what colours or patterns you can see.

Using your mark making skills can you draw your favourite animal. Think about the colours and shapes you are using.

Finally, underyour picture, use your phonics to write the first letter of the animal.

Can you use your phonics to write what the animal eats or where is lives?

Nursery: Can you name the animals and what sounds they make? You might like to look this up with an adult.

Share which one is your favourite. Why is it your favourite? (encourage full sentences)

Using your mark making skills, have a go at drawing your favourite animal!

Can you find the correct colours to colour it in?

Remember Early Years, when mark making try really hard to focus on the shapes and lines. Does your animal have eyes and a mouth?

I am looking forward to seeing your work. You can send it at debeauvoirprimaryschool@gmail.com

We can hang it right by our mat in our new classroom😊

Don't forget, you can also comment below.

Maths ~ Reception

In our classroom we have been focusing on recognising and making collections up to 5. We have been exploring making these by using a range of materials.

Can you retell what is important when we are counting collections?

Should we count it fast or slow... why?

Today we will be using the page of the storybook 'Kipper's Birthday' by Mick Inkpen

(you might like to listen to the story today too! - click on the video below)

Can you retell how old Kipper is turning?

How do you know?

Make a cake and show the same number of candles - you might like to draw the cake and use objects as candles, or you might like to make it all using some paper, pens, scissors and glue!

__________

Here is my cake!

I have 5 candles on my cake!

Can you tell me how many I have left over?

Now it is your turn to find 5 objects around the house - how many different collections can you make?

I look forward to seeing them!😊
