Tuesday 5th May 2020
Hi everyone,
The feedback that I received from the Oak Academy lessons yesterday was really positive. I have included the link to the next series of lessons from Oak Academy to look at today. There are also some activities relating to VE Day and some of the familiar activities that I have been posting during lockdown.
There are lots of activities listed below. Feel free to complete as many of them as you wish.
I can be contacted on class dojo or by emailing EYFS@theatlasfederation.co.uk
Thank you once again for all the hard work that you are doing at home and keeping me posted with the photographs and messages. I have been placing them all on the Nursery homepage. Feel free to have a look at them and share them with the children.
Kind Regards,
Mr Leese
Activity Suggestions for Today
Phonics and Literacy
Ruth Miskin is delivering a speed sounds lesson on her Youtube channel at 9.30am. The programme developed by Ruth Miskin (RWI) is the one that the children will use in Reception. Nursery children may find the lessons a little dull, but the content is ideal.
View Alphablocks Series 1 episode 22 – The link is lower down the page.
Revise all single letter sounds using the ‘Ants on my Arm’ song – link lower down the page.
Have a go at writing lower case ‘p’. See the video below.
Continue working on blending skills; a vital skill is mastering reading. See the activity below where children have to match words to pictures.
Check out the online English lesson from Oak Academy relating to the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. This is the next lesson in the series following on from the one yesterday.
Maths
Check out the lesson from Oak Academy about ordering numbers from 1-10. If children are confident with doing this, try to increase the numbers. Teen numbers can be quite tricky for many children. This lesson follows on from the online maths lesson yesterday.
Arts, Crafts and Understanding of the World
You can revisit the link from yesterday’s lesson all about VE Day if you wish.
VE Day is actually on Friday this week. Throughout the country many people will be celebrating with a ‘stay at home street party’ – see the flyer on the Nursery homepage. The link below is for some bunting which the children may wish to print and colour in to decorate the house.
See the link to Oak Academy for online lesson ‘All About Me’.
