We couldn't really have planned the timing better for our new topic "Where does snow go" as we are certainly experiencing wintery weather galore this week.  A massive thank you for all of the amazing photos yesterday whilst out on your wintery walks. As so much of our Foundation curriculum is practical rather than providing you with a learning mat we have sourced lots of resources for you to click on and have a go at home.

Remember - our class blog is there as your resource for home learning and the children at school will be doing the same things so we all still feel connected.  We don't get all of it done at school so don't put lots of pressure on yourselves either. It is just handy to have lots of choices available.

So in line with the rest of the school I will now put this resource up on a Friday so that you have time to get familiar with what we are intending to do the following week.

Our story next week will continue to build on the learning we have done this week.

We will be able to use all of the new vocabulary we have exposed to with so may ways of saying cold!

Take a look at the story below read by the author himself no less.

For re-visiting the story just before bed maybe why not watch the animated version too. We like the children to hear the story at least three times during the week to get to know it really well.

Another story that we will be visiting next week is one that introduces the maths concept of "Zero"

Take a look at "Zero is the leaves on the tree" then maybe have another winter walk to find trees that have zero leaves and trees that do have leaves.  

Both of those books will support our phonics next week

For the F1 children we will be looking at the single sounds below

Welcome back to school in 2021! Whether we are in the classroom or learning from home our blog page is the place to go for all of the information and resources for the week. If you are stuck learning at home then visit this blog page each morning and take your pick. Choose just one or two of the activities each day,  find a good time to do the activity - one that suits your family and bobs your uncle you will be keeping up with the same activities being done at school. 

Our new "Big Question"  sparking the learning in the Meadow class for the next month is 

Where does snow go?

A special delivery was made to school today by an extra special visitor

A look back at all the fun and learning that has taken place around our "Can I switch it on "topic this half term.

So Christmas has landed in the Foundation Unit but will the g g girls and b b boys get any toys?

Santa is stuck up the chimney and all we can hear is the ch ch ch choo of his sneezing.

The children are going to be set the challenge of finding ways to get him out of the ch ch chimney!

So our story for the week  is "When Santa got stuck up the chimney" and as we are learning all about things you can switch on, our book has a button to press every time you want to hear Santa sneezing! Our story also doubles up as our song and rhyme for the week.
