EYFS – Pack C

Message from Mr DownGood morning everyone, I hope you’ve had a lovely weekend. We are nearly half way through the summer half term, which means you have been away from school now for 10 school weeks and 13 weeks including Easter and Half Term. I’m not sure that many people thought it would be this long when school closed. So, well done everyone, you’re doing really well at home I’m very proud of you. Enjoy your learning today and please make sure you join me for tomorrow's whole school assembly. We had around 220 children online last week, I want to see if we can have the whole school attending! Your grown ups will get an email with how to log on this afternoon.

Fact of the day: Horses and cows sleep standing up.Word of the day: Peek. To look quickly or a have quick look. For example, faces peeked from behind the curtains

Message from Mrs Preston & Miss BuckGood Morning Early Years!

Please join our zoom meeting this afternoon at 4pm to talk to your new teachers for year 1. Mrs Howitt and Mrs Buckle are looking forward to meeting you all and Miss Buck is really looking forward to teaching some of you again! Mr Down will be sending out details for this meeting.

Please keep looking out for any updates on the Early Years News page on tapestry!

If you have any questions about any of these activities, or simply require some advice or

support during this absence from school, please feel free to contact us via the Tapestry

Our Time in Early Years

Our time in Early Years in nearly over! We are sad that our time together was cut short but we can remember lots of lovely things

that we have done together.

Spend some time this week looking back through your Tapestry journal to remind yourself of all of the things you have done in Oak

or Ash class.

Draw a picture of something that you have really enjoyed and write a sentence to match.

Take a photo and put it on Tapestry.

My New Class in Year 1You should now know who your new teacher is going to be in Year 1 after the summer holidays.

Is it Miss Buck or Mrs Buckle?

On Monday at 4pm you have been invited to a Zoom meeting to see your new teacher.

What would you like your teacher to know about you? What are you good at? What might you need help with? What are you looking forward to?

Do you have any questions that you would like to ask your new teacher?

Make a book for your new teacher. Use your best phonics to help you with your writing.

(see next slide for ideas but you can include anything you like)

You can take the next few weeks to make this book and bring it back to school if you are passing before the end of term or with you in September. A grown up can help you if you need it. You can

draw pictures or add photos.

If you need some paper you can collect some from the school entrance.

This book should showcase everything that is fabulous about you!

Slugs and Snails• Slugs and snails leave slime behind them as they

travel.

• The slime protects them from the rough ground.

Slugs and Snails• Snails and slugs are mainly nocturnal.

• This means that they like to come out at night or very early in the morning.

• This is because the sunlight can dry out their bodies.

Snails• Snails have a shell.

• The shell helps to protect them.

• When the snail feels threatened, it will hide inside its shell.

Slugs and Snails• Slugs and snails like to live in dark, damp places.

• They often come out when it rains.

Slugs and Snails• Slugs and snails have four tentacles on their head.

• Two of the tentacles are eye-stalks and have their eyes on the end.

• The eye-stalks are also used for smelling.

• The other two tentacles are for feeling and tasting.

ExpectationsIt is our expectation that the learning activities included in this pack are completed daily. Any activities which require them to be recorded in the home learning book should be on a clean page each day. An adult should record the date at the top of each page. Although many of the activities may require an adult for support, we do not expect to see perfect work. At Bushmead, we teach the children that it is OK to make mistakes and we need to see these. Instead, you should encourage your child to use our school Learning Powers; Have a Go Hector, Daisy the Don’t Give Up Deer, Colin the Curious Cobra and Kevin the Keep Improving Koala. Any writing activities we would expect the children to use their phonic knowledge to segment and write words, using the letter mats for support if necessary. We do not expect to see words spelt correctly, but evidence that they have stretched the word out themselves and had a go at writing it down. We do expect written work to be completed with a writing pencil. Other activities may be recorded by photograph, which could be printed out and added to the book or simply uploaded to your child’s own Tapestry account – not the group account. Videos may also be uploaded. It would be helpful to us of you could annotate any work with how much support your child needed to complete the activity or if they were able to complete it independently.
