Nursery Home Learning 30.6.21

30th June 2021Ms A Emmerson

Happy Wednesday! 

We are half way through the week already! 

In Nursery we have been working so hard to learn our set 1 sounds. You have all blown us away. Please follow the link below to show your adults how to say each sound. After, play a game of ‘Sound Hide and Seek’. Ask your adult to write the sounds down on a small piece of paper and hide them around the house. When you find a sound can you tell your adult what it is?

Todays home learning is: 

Literacy

Yesterday you all loved finding out about objects that float and objects that sink. Today we would like you to carry out your own floating and sinking experiment. Choose objects from your house that you would like to test. Fill up the sink, bath or even a small tub with water. Which objects float and which objects sink? Why? Extension: Draw a picture of the objects that float.

Maths

Put a circle, square, rectangle and triangle into a bag. Make sure you cannot see the shapes when they are in the bag, no peeping! Ask your adult to hold a shape and describe it. Can you listen to the clues and guess which shape they are holding? After, it’s your turn to hold a shape and describe it to your adult. Can they guess which shape you are describing? Extension: Introduce a mystery shape, such as an oval or a hexagon.

Year 1 Visit from West Boldon Lodge

29th June 2021P Mullea

The children in Y1M were surprised with a special visitor on Monday, John from West Boldon Lodge. He joined us at school for a day of activities as part of our Science topics including Green plants and Living things and the environment.

We had a fantastic day, it was so much fun. Here are some of the things we got up to.

 

  1. We learned about different kinds of plants and impressed John by naming different parts of plants and trees. At the beginning of the day we thought plants were a bit boring but John taught us that actually plants are AMAZING! Did you know plants make their own food?
  2. We played seed tag, thinking about all the things plants need to grow. We had to collect air, water, sunlight and soil to make sure our seeds grew.
  3. We planted our own lettuce seeds to take home.
  4. We learned about life cycles of different animals including Butterflies, Hens and Frogs. We worked in teams to find clues and put the lifecycle back together.
  5. We used Butterfly nets to search for insects in the plants and long grass. We found lots of flies, snails and other minibeasts.
  6. Finally as a special treat, John let us cut wood and we have a campfire. We talked about fire safety and knew it was important to stay away from the fire. We roasted marshmallows too- they were delicious!

 

Thank you to John for coming and making it “the best day ever”.

Nursery Home Learning 29.6.21

Good Morning Nursery! 

What a strange day yesterday being at home rather than in Nursery. A huge well done to Archie who sent us a video of him reading CVC words and it looked like a busy day for Jensen who went sailing for the first time.

All of your teachers are looking forward to seeing you all every morning on Google Classroom at 9.30am.

This week we will be continuing our under the sea topic but looking at boats and ships. We will be focusing on floating and sinking. In Maths we will be exploring 2D shape.

Today’s home learning activities are:

Literacy

Look at floating and sinking and watch this short video. You will be able to find out what floats and what sinks.

After you have watched the video, can you tell your adults which objects could float and which objects sank? Can you explain the word floating and can you explain the word sinking?

Maths

Set up corners using a circle, triangle, square and rectangle.

Ask your adult to call a shape. Run to and stand beside the correct corner.

After it’s your turn to say the name of a shape. Ask your adult to run to the right corner. Did they find the right shape?

Extension – Instead of saying the name of the shape ask your adult to describe the shape. They might tell you it has 3 sides and 3 corners. Can you run to the right shape?

We would love to see your home learning photographs! Please share them with us via the Nursery email. It is [email protected] . 

Thank you for your continued support, The Nursery Team
