Hi everyone,
Thank you for the photographs that you are continuing to send in. It is good to see that people are trying hard with the activities and engaging in home learning.
Here are some activity suggestions for today including links to the next series of lessons from Oak Academy.
I can be contacted on class dojo or by emailing EYFS@theatlasfederation.co.uk I will be in school today so may not be able to reply to messages as quickly as usual but I definitely will as soon as I can.
Thank you once again for all your hard work and messages.
Kind Regards,
Mr Leese
Activity Suggestions for Today

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.
View Alphablocks reading cvc words - The link is lower down the page.
Have a go at writing lower case ‘u’. 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.
