Good Morning,
Did you watch CBBC yesterday? Don't forget to switch on today at 9am for some more learning. (Please see 'Lockdown Learning' Timetable above.)
Today we are going to focus on the letter 'a'. You can watch the link below...
After listening to the story, can you tell it together and let your child fill in the missing words...
I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet...
They sent me an e _ _ _ _ _ _ _. He was too b _ _ . I sent him back.
So they sent me a g _ _ _ _ _ _. He was too t _ _ _. I sent him back.
So they sent me a l _ _ _. He was too f _ _ _ _ _. I sent him back.
So they sent me a c _ _ _ _. He was too g _ _ _ _ _. I sent him back.
So they sent me a s _ _ _ _. He was too s _ _ _ _. I sent him back.
So they sent me a m _ _ _ _ _. He was too n _ _ _ _ _ _. I sent him back.
So they sent me a f _ _ _. He was too j _ _ _ _. I sent him back.
So they thought very hard and sent me a p _ _ _ _. He was p _ _ _ _ _ _.
I kept him!
(I have a dog named Pepsi, which I love very much, but I would also like an elephant. I would name it Nellie!)
Now listen to the song...
Wednesday 13th January 2021
Every school day at 2pm teachers will be reading a story to the class on ZOOM.
Please look at Tapestry or your email for details of how to join us.
Good Morning,
Are you still watching CBBC at 9am? This morning, in the Early Years time slot, we will be looking at Science. I wonder what it will be! I am really looking forward to this, are you? Let me know what you think.
When it is over, get your body moving...
Great! Let's have a look at PHONICS PLAY...
(PHONICS PLAY IS CURRENTLY FREE TO PARENTS)
Parents are by far the most important people in helping children learn to read. On PHONICS PLAY you will find lots of information for parents about phonics including: what exactly phonics is, how it is taught in UK schools and suggestions for helping pre-schoolers prepare for learning phonics. You will also find lots of games and ideas to explore with children at home.

Good Morning,
I hope you are all well on this grey and rainy morning. I have been out for my walk to the park, with my dog, and it was deserted! I had to go through lots of big puddles on my journey, which my dog absolutely loved. Have a look on Tapestry to see the videos of Pepsi splashing in the big puddles! It was great fun...
(Point to the correct picture and say the word.)
Don't forget to watch CBBC today at 9am for our BBC Bitesize Maths session.

Morning all,
Today I will be phoning you all. I look forward to speaking to you.
Don't forget to watch CBBC at 9am, where the topic is English and Wellbeing this morning.
Today I would like you to reflect on previous learning, as it is through repetition that we learn best, so look back over the work we have done this week (I will be asking about this over the phone!)
Hope to see you at the 2pm Story-Time session.
Have a lovely weekend.
