Christmas is here!
admin on: Reception
16th December 2020
What a busy week we have had!
This morning, we had a special delivery from the North Pole! Santa had replied to our postcards we sent him last Wednesday.
We have had lots of fun creating different Christmas crafts. We have made photo frames which look like Rudolph, different Christmas objects out of 2D shapes and Christmas trees with paint using a fork.
Also, here is a Merry Christmas from Mr Curly-Wurly
We had a special delivery of Dr Simpo's new comic on Wednesday morning. He has kindly donated one for every child in school. Thank you Dr Simpo!
From myself and the whole Reception team, have a lovely Christmas break and Happy New Year!
See you all in 2021!

Elf-tastic Day!
admin on: Reception
9th December 2020
We had a visitor ...
Our Elf wrote a letter to us ...
Our Elf also set out some activities for us! We wrote a postcard to Santa, helped some elves find their way through a maze and made our own elves.
To end the day, we have a virtual assembly with our local vicar, Nick Heaton.
What a busy afternoon elf-ing around we had!
Have a lovely weekend!

All about recycling and materials
admin on: Reception
2nd December 2020
We have been looking at properties of materials this week and what they can be used for. We had a giggle thinking about what if we made our clothes from metal and tables out of paper!
With Miss Crowther, we looked at the story of the Three Little Pigs. We then made our own houses out of straw, twigs and bricks to see if the big bad wolf could blow our houses down! We were very excited when our brick houses were not blown down!
With Mrs Hemingway we sorted materials into groups by what they were made of such as wood, metal or paper. We used our super magnets to discover which objects were made of metal.
On the cutting and sticking table, we recycled wrapping paper to make trees with leaves in a pot.
Also, we sorted various every day items into the correct recycling bins, discussing why we had put them in each bin.
How busy we have all been!
Have a lovely weekend!

Police and pop art week
admin on: Reception
25th November 2020
Today we have been very busy looking at the topic of the week, police, and looking at pop art.
In PE, we created a circuit of different activities including; hurdles, a ladders to use 'fast feet' through, egg and spoon balancing, hula hooping, quoit balancing on our head, and throwing bean bags at targets. We all had so much fun developing our coordination!
Each class is going to create a collaborative Christmas tree for the display in the hall and today we began to create ours. We have all decorated a star and we are going to create a 'tree of stars'. Keep checking the blog for updates ...
We dressed up as a police officers and had our pictures taken for identification badges. We then wrote our name and made a signature!
Children used their cutting and sticking skills to create a police helicopter using different 2D shapes.
With Miss Crowther, we used the printing technique to create a pop art picture using police car shapes, just like Andy Warhol.
What a busy day we have had!
Have a lovely weekend!

Road Safety and Anti-bullying week 2020
admin on: Reception
20th November 2020
This week has been anti-bullying and road safety week. We have looked at both topic and done activities relating to this.
Anti-bullying
The theme for this year is United Against Bullying. We talked about what makes a good friend, the importance of being kind to each other and why we need to work as a team to help each other.
Everyone draw a self-portrait on a piece of a jigsaw which we have put together to show that every piece is as important as the other.
For more information about Anti-bullying Week here is a link to the Anti-Bullying Alliance:
https://www.anti-bullyingalliance.org.uk/
Road Safety
With the help of Super Cat, we learnt a rap that told us that when near roads we need to follow some rules which were:
- Stop
- Look both ways
- Listen
- Think
We developed our cutting and sticking skills by designing our own vehicles adding blue lights, rotors and funnels to the car body.
With Miss Crowther, we learnt how to programme BeeBots to move around roads, stopping at zebra crossings and arriving at our destination safely.
We created roads with cars, traffic lights and speed signs to fit with the theme for this year which is No Need To Speed.
For more information about Road Safety Week, please visit the Road Safety Week website which has been coordinated by the charity Brake:

Remembrance Activities
admin on: Reception
13th November 2020
On Wednesday, we focused on Remembrance Day. We took part in the two minutes silence at 11am where we through about everyone, including animals, that have fought in a war. We also created lots of different craft activities relating to this.
We used tissue paper, cellophane and card to create stain glass poppies, how beautiful they looked with the light shining through!
On the cutting and sticking table, we cut slits around red circles to represent the poppies then finished them off with a green leaf.
We used our printing skills to create poppies using paint. We used a sponge to print the petals of the poppy then using a painting brush to create the stem and the leaf.
On the mark-making table, we used oil pastels to create a different pictures with the poppy theme.
What a poppy-tastic day we all had!
Have a lovely weekend!

Bonfire night and firework activities
admin on: Reception
4th November 2020
Today, the children have completed a range of different activities all related to bonfire night! We started the day by creating their own dance where they were the bonfires and fireworks.
The children began to learn about a new artist, Jackson Pollock. As a class, they used his 'drip painting' method to create a firework scene in a night sky.
Developing their cutting skills, children cut out different shapes to create their very own rocket with flames gushing from the bottom!
On the painting table with Miss Crowther, children used straws, which were stuck together, to make fireworks in the night sky. We even added glitter to make them sparkle!
With Mrs Mitchell, the children painted their hands to create bonfire flames, adding brown paper for the logs and glitter for the sparks.
What a cracking day we have had!

Owly Fun Day!
admin on: Reception
21st October 2020
Today, following the theme of autumn we have been looking at owls. We made different owls using different media. We have visited our school library for the first time today and the children have a book in their bags. Library will be every Wednesday so please can you bring your books in so children can choose new books on this day.
On the cutting and sticking table we used different shades of brown to create our owl outline before adding beaks and eyes.
Also, we made tube owls by rolling a piece of paper to make a cylinder before adding detail such as wings, eyes and a beak.
On the painting table we painted our hands brown then printed hem on the paper to create owls. We sat them on branches with little leaf shoots.
What a hoot we have had today!
Have a lovely half term break!

A day filled with kindness!
admin on: Reception
14th October 2020
Today, we have continued to look at the book The Paper Dolls by Julia Donaldson.
We have worked as a team to create our very own class paper doll chain! We developed our cutting and sticking skills to cut around the outline of the doll then coloured them in beautiful colours!
As a random act of kindness, we drew pictures on pieces of wood which we then thread some string through. The children have then decided to give them to someone to make them smile!
What a lovely bunch of children we have in Reception!

Little Red Hen
admin on: Reception
7th October 2020
What a busy day we have had continuing to look at The little Red Hen!
On the painting table, we created hens using our hands! We painted our hands brown and red then pressed it down on the paper with our fingers spread out. This made the body then we added detail using yellow paint.
On the cutting and sticking table, we used different shades of brown and red to make a collage of a hen. We used cellophane, card and tissue paper.
In maths we were recognising and understanding the numbers 1, 2 and 3. We played different games where we had to get into different groups depending how many claps we heard and which number we saw.
How much fun we have had subitising and making hens today!

What a monster-ly good Wednesday!
admin on: Reception
Wednesday 30th September 2020
What a busy and exciting day we have had today continuing to look at our feelings. We have been looking at the book The Colour Monster by Anna Llenas. The children have used their fine-motor skills following patterns on the different monsters and have created their own monsters on the painting and cutting and sticking table.
In maths, we have been sorting and matching buttons. The children chose different ways to group the buttons. Some chose to group them by size, colour and the number of holes in the middle of the buttons.
On the cutting and sticking table, the children used different coloured paper to create their very own monsters. They had to use scissors to make arms, legs, eyes and other features they wanted on their monsters before sticking them together with glue. How friendly they all look!
In painting, the children used different brushstrokes and blended colours together to make their own creations.
What a monster-tastic day we have had today!

Hello Reception Class Autumn week 3
admin on: Reception
We had great fun in the woods using natural materials in the woods to make 'people'.
Food faces. Thank-you to those parents who have paid a voluntary contribution towards our cooking activities. We have a student starting with us next week who will be cooking/baking with children every week.
Well hello everyone,
The children have had a super time getting to know each other, ourselves and our school rules over the last couple of weeks and we now feel they are all settled and ready for the start of their learning journey.
Your child's learning journey is a long one (14 years and maybe more!) so please don't put pressure on your-self or your child if they are working at a different level to other at this time. I believe everyone has their own super powers and our system does not always celebrate aspects such as creativity, kindness, resilience and communication which as just some of the powerful skills we need to have as a nation to progress. Education is very individual journey and your child will make progress and develop when they are physically an emotionally ready.
Just enjoy this new school experience together and support your child in the ways they need. Most days it will be a big hug and a story.
We are always here to help so an email; reception@netherthongprimary.co.k
or phone call or pop in at the end of the day is easier for a quick chat.
Thank-you
Mrs Oddy, Mrs Hemimgway and Miss Hemimgway.

What a wet but wonderful week we have had in school! We have been looking at the book Giraffes Can't Dance and Tanka Tanka Skunk! We have made lots of different giraffe crafts, written our own giraffe stories and made musical instruments to create our own version of Tanka Tanka Skunk! We then braved the rain and performed our compositions to the other bubbles, socially distancing of course!
I think we all need a rest after all of the exciting activities the bubbles have been up to, here are just a few pictures from the week ...

Good morning everyone - It's Mr. H. again! Can you believe it is time for transition Tuesdays again?
First things first, I hope everybody is doing well and are staying safe.
I am currently writing this at home after taking Luna and Brego out for a walk and I got soaked wet!
Here is a small task for you to have a go at! Can you take on my number and alphabet challenges?
You get three minutes to write your numbers to 20 and try to get them all the right way around.
The same applies to the alphabet challenge, how many letters can you complete in three minutes whilst remembering to keep them the right way around?
Here are some photos for you!
This one is of Luna and Brego having a cuddle last week in the sun! Awww...
And this one is of Brego hiding his face behind his Christmas sloth toy!

The hands on a clock turn forward and never backwards except for in Autumn.
Children make their own clock face adding the numbers and the hands.
They then complete some o’clock ‘s.
Play what time is it Mr Wolf.
TOPIC
Explain to the class that they are going to listen to a story about a giraffe named Gerald, who gets teased because he is clumsy and unable to dance like the other animals. However, Gerald meets a special friend who helps him. Ask the children if someone has ever helped them learn how to do something new. How did they feel when they could not do what everyone else was doing? How did they feel once they learned how to do it? What did Gerald have to do in order to become a dancer? Is it important that everyone is able to do the same thing well? Ask the class why they think the author wrote this story. What did he want children to learn from Gerald's experience?
Children tell you things they are good or that they find tricky …. My super powers…
Make a spinning plate of Gerald. You will need 2 paper plates and a split pin.
PSHCE
Look at the word can’t.
Why do people say it?
If we sometimes try really really hard we can do things we didn’t believe we could.
Swim? Ride a bike? Read? What else.

I can't believe that another week has flown by already! We have been very busy learning about different animals like reptiles, mammals and birds, and even sneaked in a 'school trip' to our woodland area. Look at the post below to find out more about our trip!

Our Trip!
admin on: Reception
This week we were meant to be going on our school trip to Butterfly World, so we brought Butterfly World to us!
Our wonderful key workers and the children in Reception created some beautiful animals across the week, then our brilliant team hid them in the woodland for the Reception children to find!
There were peacocks, crocodiles and even sloths to name just a few!
The children then gave socially distanced talks to the other bubbles about the animals they had been learning about throughout the week. The Red Dragons talked about reptiles, the Blue Whales talked about mammals and the Yellow Superstars talked about birds.
Both ourselves and the children had a brilliant time! Thank you to everyone who helped make it so special!

Mr. H. here! I hope you are all well!
I just thought I would hop on to Mrs. Oddy's blog to say a big hello to you all and tell you how much I am looking forward to seeing you all in year one after the summer break.
You guys won't know this but during lockdown, I was lucky enough to get a puppy! Now I love dogs, so getting a new pup is very exciting for me! I thought I would share a couple of photos on here for you to see! I have two dogs, Luna, the triclour Rough Collie is three years old and Brego, the blue merle Smooth Collie, who is now sixteen weeks old. In the first photo below he was only eight weeks old!
Look how much he has grown in 8 weeks!

What a first, full week back! All the children have been so enthusastic about the activities we have been doing in school. We have spent the week looking at the book Bog Baby by Jeanne Willis. We have done a range of different activities such as describing Bog Baby, making our own Bog Baby out of clay and natural materials and making a pond to put Bog Baby in!
Here are some photos from the week ...
We have also created a piece of work collaboratively. My bubble created the pond, Mrs Hemingway's bubble created the cherry blossom and Mrs Coopers and Mrs Oddy's bubble created the bluebells. It isn't quite finished yet but here it is so far. What wonderful artists the children are!
Have a lovely weekend and see you all again on Monday!

TOPIC Bog Baby
Read the book without showing the picture on the front of the book up to the point where the children in the story first find the bog baby. Pause to talk with your child about what they think the bog baby might look like. Suggest they listen hard to the next two or three pages and paint a picture in their mind’s eye.
Then carry on reading but without showing the illustration to the point where they take him home and hide him in the shed.
Ask children to share their ideas of how they think the bog baby might look. Suggest they create one of their own using clay/play dough or just natural materials outside or insert them in to clay to make bog babies.
When they have finished ask them to introduce their bog babies to a friend.
What is he like? What does he like to do or eat? Does he make a noise?
Using digital cameras/phone each child should take a photograph of their own Bog baby and write a caption to accompany it.
If time they can draw their Bog Baby.
Thank-you

Monday 1st June
Welcome back!
Wow what amazing weather we have had last week.
I managed to walk the Holme Valley Circular on Tuesday (Cooler day) 20 miles. I thoroughly enjoyed it and felt blessed to live in such a beautiful area.
As you all know we are opening up school on Wednesday for Reception children.
There will be three 'bubbles' of less than 10 children in each.
Myself (Mrs Cooper on a Wednesday : except for this week when I will be in) in the Reception class room.
Mrs Hemingway in the Library.
Miss Hemingway in class 1.
We have 2 days to rearrange furniture and toys and stationary etc.
We will be working the same activities as the blogs I will be writing but of course this being flexible to suit the children's needs.
We will try as much as possible to make sure your child is with someone they are looking forward to seeing. We have worked with the children for most of the year and feel they are a very sociable and amenable set of children and seem to work and play happily whatever groups we put them.
The blog will continue for those at home but I am also now teaching so they may not be as detailed. This will give you more time to concentrate and develop what your child is interested in.
I will cover the basic Phonics and Maths and topic as before. I will recommend trying the Daily White Rose Maths. It looks really fun and follows a book each week.
1/6 The Snail and the Whale
8/6 The Princess and the Wizard.
15/6 Belle and the Dragon pox
22/6 Zog
29/6 Oliver’s Vegetables
6/7 The Dinosaur that Pooped a Planet
13/7 How many Legs?
I don’t know all these stories so will need to buy them if we feel this is something that the children are enjoying.
Mathseeds is also available every day.
As always the blogs are a guide and you know you children best.
We will be flexible in school depending on the weather and how the children are feeling and we might not get everything done that is on the blogs.
Here we go!

NUMBER – We can use different coins to pay.
Can you remember all of the 8 coins?
If possible today you need to have a few 1ps,2ps and 5ps,10ps
You need a few items from around the house to price up (only up to 10p today).
Food packets and tins are good to make a shop.
Can you tell me how much the beans costs?
The price is 4p. What coins can we use to make 4p?
How many ways can we make 4p?
2p+ 2p=4p
1p+1p+2=4p
1p+1p+1p+1p=4p
Repeat with other items: You will only need 1p2p5p coins.
2p,3p,5p,6p,7p,8p,9p,10p
You could make a café and list the items and prices in the café with process on.
TOPIC- EID
Here is also some information about Eid.
Eid is celebrated this weekend this year 23rd and 24th May.
It is usually a family and friend’s festival but this year people will have to celebrate with their families they live with in their own homes.
Eid is a time when Muslims are celebrating the end of Ramadan (fasting).
Here is a link to Cbeebies Lets celebrate.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/puzzles/lets-celebrate-eid
I hope to see many lovely children back on the 3rd June. It won't be quite the same; we will make sure everyone has a warm welcome. We will endeavour to provide your child with the best education we can under the restrictions.
Finally let me say a big THANK-YOU to all the parents and carers for your support in these unprecedented times. I can see many of you are working so hard and really enjoying home learning but I do understand the children are missing their friends.
I will continue the daily blogs after the holidays as these will be followed in school by the children in their pods and by the staff.
Just to reassure you the children will be working with a member of staff familiar to them. We will not know which groups we will be teaching until we know who will be returning to school.
Have a super half term break.
Mrs Oddy, Mrs Hemingway and Miss Hemingway.

NUMBER – Prices tell us how much to pay
Key Vocab- price, cost, change, how much is left?
You will need all 7 British coins.
Look at all the coins you have in your purse. Group them.
1p 2p 5p 10p 20p 50p £1 £2
Low value coins are bronze, then silver then gold.
Play ‘banks’. Have a large section of coins and children sort them into the different compartments.
If they are happy with this have a game of shops pricing up a few items to pay for and get change.
Money is tricky so you may just get 10x 1p's to start with until they understand the value of different coins.
Start with 10p and choose items less than 10p. You made add two together
3p apple + 4p banana = 7p
How much change will we get from the 10p? (3p)
TOPIC – The Tree and Flower hunt!
Go on a walk and see if you can identify as many trees as you can?
How will you do this?
You may have a book to identify trees and flowers.
Its also a nice idea to take a rainbow and see if you can find these colours in nature?
You could use your skills and take pictures as you go?
What can you hear?
What can you smell?
What insects can you see?
Thank-you and have a great walk!

Fancy some World Record breaking art?
admin on: Reception
Isabel, in year 2, pointed this out to me and I had to pass it along ...
Like many of us, you may have been enjoying Rob Biddulph’s brilliant Draw with Rob draw along videos, which have amassed a huge online following and now been watched over 2 million times on YouTube.
On May 21st, Rob is going to attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the World’s Biggest Art Lesson.
Rob will be live on YouTube at 4.00pm (BST) but in order for the attempt to meet Guinness World Records’ criteria we need participants – young and old – to register for the free lesson at www.artworldrecords.
The attempt will also help to raise money for those most impacted by COVID-19. Participants can donate what they can and companies have also begun to pledge financial support. These donations will go towards high impact charities to counter the impact of COVID-19, including stopping the disease’s spread, providing immediate relief to those most impacted and preventing future pandemics.

Hello everyone, we are going to spread a smile!
Mrs Barker introduced something to us called 'Padlet' which is like a virtual piece of paper that we can all get to and write on! If you click on the link below, you will be sent to a new window. Hopefully, you will see that I have started us off by adding a couple of posts to make you smile! If you double click on the piece of paper or click the 'plus' button, you can begin typing. In the title part, I'd like you to put your name, then we can see who has contributed. You need to write your message to everyone then press the enter button. You can add images or doodles that you can draw by pressing on the ellipsis (...). I am very much looking forward to your posts to make me and others smile! Here is a link to our Padlet:

Well done! to all those of you who ran yesterday for our school Cancer Research Charity we raised over £1000.
What a fantastic amount we raised for such a worthy and important cause.
At school myself and Mrs Roberts ran an hour each with Mrs Barker and the last 15 mins all the children in school joined in too.
Florence and her brother did a family 5K.
Maxwell has done his own fundraising challenges, raising money for UNICEF.

Number
Play 'guess my number'(1-20 or whatever numbers are appropriate for your child).
Pick a number and don’t show your child. Your child has to ask questions to find out what number you are holding.
It is more than 10?
Is it less than 8?
Is it an even number?
Is it more than 15?
Swap over.
Quiz
Count in 2’s, 5’s or 10’s. Show that this is a good way of counting large numbers of objects by grouping them.
e.g pasta shapes, buttons,teddies, people in our class!
TOPIC – Science Float or sink
https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/messy-goes-to-okido-why-do-things-sink-and-float
Collect a selection of objects up to a maximum of 10.
Have a go at writing a table.
Object V float or sink?
Complete a table.
Why do you think some objects float and some sink?
Do all small objects float?
Talk about mass. If an object has a lot of mass it is heavy. Do all heavy objects sink?
What can you do to make an object float that sinks?
Thank - you for your continued support!

We can think in our head what 5 or 10 looks like.
Put the objects into piles and label them.
less than 10 less than 20 between 10 and 20
Then count to see what is a good estimate.
Now put 10 pasta shapes in a tub and shake them. Secretly add more - can your child make a guess at the amount in the tub? More or less? Then a number removing or adding items.
This can be played outside estimating number of sheep in the field, birds, flowers etc.
TOPIC- Food diary
Today is the Cancer Research running/exercise challenge.
Here is a power point of information all about how to be healthy.
Get out into your gardens or do a big walk thinking of helping other people who are less fortunate then yourself. This might be a good time to talk to your child about worries that they may have and reassure them that they are safe with you and if they do get ill that we have our amazing NHS to look after us all and help us to get better.
GOOD LUCK!
I will be running with Mrs Barker in the school grounds.

Race for Life
admin on: Reception
So the Netherthong Race for Life is tomorrow at 1pm! I know so many of you have organised your own event in your gardens and surrounding areas. We have had so much support through the fundraising link, we are now at around 75% of our £1000 target. Please keep sharing this link so that we can reach our goal.
If you take any photos or videos of your event, please email them to class2@netherthongprimary.co.uk If you send in your pictures, we will automatically presume you give us permission to use on the website and other sites associated with Cancer Research. I hope to put some kind of montage together when I recover from running around the playground! This will be a wonderful whole school collaboration at a time when we can’t be together. Good luck – knowing that you are all there will spur me on, I’m sure!
Happy running!
Mrs Barker

Monday 11th May
Hello everyone, I hope you all have had a lovely weekend talking to family members or neighbours (from a safe distance) about their memories of VE day or just enjoying this special day.
Here are a few photo's of last week.
Here we go!

Hold a sentence: The month is May or I can play in the day.
NUMBER – This week we are counting sets of objects, ordering numbers, reading and writing numbers.
Key Vocab – guess, how many? More/less, about, between nearly, fewer
You will need a set of objects up to 20 (pasta/buttons/beads/pencils/) socks and numbers to 20.
- Warm up- Fill 2 socks with small objects (start with low numbers). Your child needs to guess how many objects are in each sock and match this to a written number. Remind them as it’s a guess (estimate) if they are wrong it doesn’t matter they just need to be as close as they can.
Empty out the socks count to check. The language used is: Are there more or less/fewer than your guess?
How many more or less/fewer? How can we work this out?
Get the children to close their eyes and imagine looking at 5 pencils.
Show your child 3 pencils briefly. Were there more than 5 or less?
Say – we can guess there were fewer than 5
We guess the number of pencils was less than 5 so we made a good guess.
Discuss would 30 be a good guess? No
Repeat with different groups of objects (7/4/5/2) staying with the 5 in your head.
Introduce vocabulary through questioning.
e.g Are there more than 3, about 5, nearly 10:is the number more than 10? Is it less than 20? Is it between 10 and 20?
Family activity.
Add objects to a container. Go round the family and ask them to guess how many are in the pot. Write the answers down. Open the container and count them to see who has made the best guess.
Maths Seeds is available and your maths books.
TOPIC
What is a fruit?
It is actually the part of the plant that keeps the seeds safe. If you cut into any fruit you will find seeds. Berries like strawberries have their seeds on the outside. Fruit is often soft and juicy so if it drops from a tree it will protect the seeds inside like a pear, apple or an orange. The fruit is also food for the seeds to start to grow.
You can continue the food diaries adding the fruit that you eat each day.
It is recommend by the government to eat 5 different types of fruit or vegetables a day to get all the vitamins and minerals you need to keep healthy.
In my house we all love fruit and vegetables,.
If you are unsure about trying new foods I recommend that you lick the fruit first to try its flavour then maybe cut 'fairy' bites. Little steps are needed to introduce new foods. Again don’t worry too much about spellings of the fruit and vegetables.
Oliver’s Fruit story 5 mins
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcTprkImlmI
If this is not available the fruit discussed are.
apples, grapes, pears, cherries, strawberries, plums and bananas.
Can you remember any of the fruit in the story?
Which of these fruit do we grow in this country? Why?
Talk about the different fruits you have in your house and find out which countries they have come from.
Can you find these countries on a map?
If available cut open a fruit to find the seeds. You can have a go at planting them to see if the will grow. Remind yourself of what a seeds will need to grow? There is also a bit of fraction work here. Two halves makes a whole, 4 quarters makes a whole.
Click here to name a few different fruit and vegetables.
A look at different fruit and vegetables
Don't forget the race for life is on tomorrow afternoon. Myself and Mrs Barker will be running round the school field.
Good work today well done.

Mrs Oddy
Woof to you all!
admin on: Reception
I hope you are all ok and staying safe. I'm still staying at home. We are having fun and having extra cuddles here.
I had a really special weekend because it was my 10th birthday! Wow, I ate so many sausages! I had loads of balloons, a sausage cake and a dinosaur party with games! We even had dog music, my favourite. Lucky for me the weather was lovely and we got to have a picnic in our garden. I wore a party hat but only for a few minutes because it made my ears tickle. My family asked me to wait to open my presents until the morning and it was hard because I could sniff the tasty treats inside! Afterwards, I had a lovely long sleep and dreamt about running and barking to the hokey cokey. I enjoy that dance and know all of the moves.
I can't wait until I see you again at school and we can chat about our time staying at home and all the things we've done with our families. I hope you and your families are ok and hope to see you woofy soon.
Love and paws,

There are so many discreet learning opportunities in cooking. Have fun!
Talk about weighing ingredients, melting of chocolate, where the ingredients have come from.
Have a good weekend and thank-you for all your continued support - I really mean that.
******************************************************************************
Next week we will be looking at the story Oliver's Vegetables and VE day, Victory in Europe. It is 75 years since the end of World War 2.
The week after the story will be Oliver's fruit.
The last week will be How to Grow a Sunflower and Van Gogh.
Then maybe the Bear Hunt!
If you have these books it will be good to dig them out or you may want to add them to your collection.
Vegetables mentioned in the story for next week are carrots, peas, cabbage, spinach, beetroot, potatoes, rhubarb.
If some of these are available next week that would be great.

If you like to be creative you might even decide to swap your games with your penpal.
Topic
African patterns are just amazing. They are influenced by their surroundings.
Watch the powerpoint (if available) then go outside and see if you can find patterns in nature in your own garden.
You can then do a pen and ink picture as the one below using patterns you have seen or something creative.
You might add colour or make another mosaic with the patterns in mind.

-My favourite activity for this is the backward dot to dot if this is available. You can easily make your own. Just complete a dot to dot sheet but backwards by starting at the largest number. Look at the patterns of numbers going backwards.
Maths seeds is also available.
TOPIC
African animals
Look at the PowerPoint or research what different animals they have in Africa.
Have a go at a mosaic college of an animal. If you have a magazine or newspaper these make a great effect if you cut them up into little squares/ sort them into colours and off you go.
If this is not available you might just want to choose your favourite animal and look at the shapes involved to draw it and have a go.
Underneath write your sentence.
My African animal is a ………... It has a trunk. Its has 4 legs. It has thick skin.
Good work.
On Friday we are looking at the production of chocolate. I will put up some simple chocolate recipes tomorrow in case you want to get the ingredients so you can make something.

This week we are going to be focusing on developing number and counting skills.
The vocabulary needed is all the number names up to 100.
Five suggested activities below.
1 - Play lucky number. You need a dice.
Write a number down numbers 1-6 on a piece of paper circle 1 lucky number.
Roll the dice 10 times and tick now many times it lands on each of the numbers.
How many times did it land on your lucky number?
What number did it land on most?
2- Be a number word detective today and look around the house and in the street.
How many number names you can see?
3- Make a badge I a five/four.
4- Play a game with domino and number names and numerals matching them (see below).
5- Give your child opportunities to write numbers names on a list. e.g How many apples are left in the bowl? How many people live in our house?

TOPIC
Africa - look for Africa on a map.
Look how many countries make up Africa (over 40).
Can you find Kenya the country where the story of Handa's surprise was set?
Can you find out anything about this country?
Below is a link to a clip of a child talking about living in Kenya.
What is daily life like in urban Kenya?
A child living on the outskirts of Nairobi is followed through a typical school day. Nana describes her day, from breakfast time through to the evening.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zmqtfg8
What are the similarities and differences with Nana's life compared to yours?
e.g You both have breakfast.You both go to school in a uniform....
If possible can you look up the flag of Kenya and make it out of materials or draw it and colour it in?

LITERACY
Recap on the story and note which animal takes which fruit.
Today we are going to use the 00 sound to write a few sentences at least 3 with the 00 sound as in 'took'
Talk about capital letters, finger spaces, and full stops.
e.g
The monkey took the banana.
Or
The monkey took the soft yellow banana. Whichever is right for your child.
The elephant took the red mango.
Or
The elephant took the ripe red mango.
Don't worry if they spell orange as orinj or elephant as elefant but I would like to see 'sweet' 'round' 'green' words spelt correctly as they should be familiar with the ee and ou sounds. Gently remind them.
Draw a picture to finish off your favourite part of the story.

NUMBER Ordinal numbers
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zhsspg8/articles/zn4ynrd
See if your child can see any numbers as you go on your daily walk?
Ask the question which colour car is 3rd in the line or point to the 2nd tree.
At home on your stairs/steps ask your child to place their teddy on the 4th step 10th step etc. Then you place the teddy on a step and your child has to tell you which step it is on.
Mathseeds is always available and here are a few practical ideas.
TOPIC
St Georges Day if you want to find out more about this day click the link below.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/lets-celebrate-st-georges-day
Today is the start of Ramadan which is part of the Islamic faith. During this month Muslims won't eat or drink between dawn and sunset. This is called fasting.
Fasting is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, which form the basis of how Muslims live their lives. The other four pillars are faith, prayer,charity and making the pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca. (find it on a map) Remind your child that Amir's mummy came into school and talked to the children about the faith.
Here is a short clip to watch.

LITERACY
Act out a story or sing the song from Wednesday. You should be familiar with this now.
Use your instruments to tap out the beat.
Have a go at filling in a story map. This is just the sequence of events that happen in the story.
Use the mathematical language to order the story;
1st was the monkey and banana, 2nd Ostrich and guava, 3rd Zebra and the orange, 4th Elephant,and the mango, 5th Giraffe and the pineapple, 6th Antelope and the avocado, 7th Parrot and the passion fruit.
You can draw your own map on a piece of paper and label what happens on the way.
Here is a map you can copy or print off if this is available to you.
NUMBER
As they are getting dressed your child can say in what order they are putting on their clothes. e.g
First I will put on my T shirt. 2nd I put on my jumper. etc.
You can sequence any event or routine in the day.
1st exercise, 2nd phonics, 3rd break, 4th number, 5th lunch.....
Outside hold races and give prizes. Create a track. You could play yourself or use objects such as cars, teddies during imaginative play.
If you make a podium and medals this can be fun.
TOPIC
If you haven't already done so, make a fruit salad and talk about where the fruit has come from and what else can grow in this country.
Thank-you for all your support. Everything you do really helps.
Have a good weekend.
Mrs Oddy
P.S Next week we are researching and comparing Africa to the UK and locating Kenya on the map, which is the country where the Handa's Surprise story was set.We will also be looking at the different sorts of animals.
Please feel free to email:

BREAK
NUMBER - Using ordinal numbers. 1st 2nd 3rd 4th .... You could make medals.
Make a line of 10 teddy toys. Ask your child to point to the 1st and 3rd toy .....
What place is you dog teddy?
Put them in size order and do the same. Use cars down a ramp which went the furthest. They came ....... 1st - which car was second?
Write family names. Where is the r in the name Tara?
Your child needs to use the special names e.g It is 3rd.
MUSIC
Either make something into a drum or just get a pan and wooden spoon or two sticks from the garden to bang together or make a shaker. It's your choice and try to keep the beat to the song.
Listen to the song for Handa's surprise. (I hope it works for you!)
I have attached the words for you to sing along.
If this link does not work for the music just make up your own melody to the words and drum along.
Handa Handa walk to see Akeyo..

Here is the playscript for you to act out the story of Handa. You can act this out and sing as you go.
The play script of The Story of Handa's Surprise.

Craft
Here are a few ideas you might like to try.
Painting with something other than a paint brush.
If you have a paper plate this would be ideal or you could just cut out a ring from card.
If you don't have any of the above you can always use natural materials outside.
We should have been starting tennis sessions this term so if you take a ball outside in the garden and practice some throwing and catching and aiming games that would be great.
Thank- you

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7fbLgY2oA_cFCIg9GdxtQ
Most children now will be onto the green books. There are fiction and non-fiction. If these are too tricky stick to the red ditties for now until your child becomes confident. Remember it's not a race - we need to instill enjoyment in reading.
These books you can find on Oxford Owl. If greens are too easy go onto the pinks.
Thank you and have fun.
