FW 2019-2020

This week's planning is in two parts. If you were in school last week, please follow the planning in blue print. If you were at home last week please follow the planning in black print.

This is the last week's home learning planning. We will see you all back in school in September.

Have a great summer break everyone!

Return to school  

Hello everyone,

We are looking forward to seeing you all over the next few weeks. We have made a video so that you can see what school looks like. It is still the same happy place as you remember but there are some new things in place to keep us all safe. Do not worry we will explain everything to you when you return to school. We are going to have a lovely time.

See you soon.

A message for everyone in FW

I hope you enjoyed reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar story, I think it is a fantastic book. The caterpillar eats my favourite fruit on Thursday. Can you remember what fruit he eats on that day? What day does the caterpillar eat your favourite food?

This week we will be continuing our work on The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I look forward to seeing some of your amazing work on Seesaw and in the emails that you send me.

Have fun and I will see you all on Thursday at our Zoom Party (party clothes are not essential but you can wear them if you would like!) Don't forget to tell your friends, it would be great to see everyone. The party will be a show and tell session, if you have something that you would like all of your friends to see make sure that you have it ready to show.  

See you soon,

Mrs Ward

P.S I am so excited about moving to Year One with you all. I hope you are pleased, it is going to be so much fun!

Week 12 planning is below - keep scrolling!!

National Best Friends Day

Monday 8th June

In our class we are all best friends! I thought that it would be really nice if we could all write a message to each other.  You might want to tell your friends what games you are looking forward to playing with them when you return to school, you could tell your friends about a new skill that you have learnt while you have been at home or you might just want to tell your friends how much you are missing them.

Please write your messages and then email them to me (admin@haydn.nottingham.sch.uk) and I will put them on the website for everyone to see.

Creative Quarter Challenges

Keep an eye on the Creative Quarter page ( https://www.haydn.nottingham.sch.uk/creative-quarter/ ) on our website for weekly art challenges that you can all get involved in, inspiring websites and links.    

Hi FW,

We hope you are all well. Thank you for all of your contibutions on Seesaw and the emails that you have been sending. We love to read them! We are missing you so much. Keep having fun at home (and doing some home learning!)

Mrs Ward and Mrs Wallace

Question of the Week

In what ways are children better than adults? 

What do you think FW? 

Question of the week

Could you have a sport where everyone is on the same side?

What do you think FW? Could you make one up? Have a go!

Dear FW,

We hope you are all okay and still enjoying your time at home with your family.

Thank you for all the kind messages and photos you are sending in and posting on Seesaw, it is so nice to see all the work and activities you have been getting up to. If you haven't got Seesaw yet please e.mail for a link, it is a great way to share our work and fun.

From 4th May we will be using the Letters and Sounds lessons on You Tube as they are very similar to the phonics lessons we have at school. The link is on the planning sheet below. The lessons last about 20 minutes and your child will need a pencil, or pen and paper. They should be able to watch the video unsupported but may need a little encouragement to begin with. Please let us know how they get on. 

Take care everyone!

Mrs Ward and Mrs Wallace

A big thank you to the parents

We would just like to say a big thank you to all of the parents for your continued support. We are so impressed with how many children have been completing the work that we have been setting each week. Please do not worry if your child does not complete all of the tasks that we set each week. We understand how challenging this can be if you are having to work from home, or your child is not that keen on doing the work. The main thing is that your child is doing a little bit of school work each day, to accompany all the other wonderful activities that you are providing for your child, while they are learning from home. Once again, THANK YOU.

A massive well done to the children

We are so proud of how well you have all adapted to your new routine. We have loved speaking to you all over the last few weeks. You are all having such wonderful home learning adventures. Please continue to send all of the emails, photos and videos as we love to receive them. We miss you so much and can't wait until we can all return to school and be one big happy class again! Speak again soon.

Mrs Ward and Mrs Wallace

Question of the Week

If pigs are what wolves eat, was the Big Bad Wolf bad?

What do you think FW? Talk about it with your family.

Seesaw

Seesaw is an online platform where children can digitally share the work and activities they have been doing at home and other children in the class can read, like and respond.

To access, either go to https://app.seesaw.me/#/login or download the seesaw app on iOS or Android. Sign up as a student and then enter using the QR code that you have received via email.

Once you are on, go to your inbox and there should be a message waiting for you. 

Please have a go and spread the word amongst your friends. I look forward to hearing from you all!

If you have any issues please email me and I will do my best to help you. 

Mrs Ward

If you dig up buried treasure is it yours?

Question of the week:

Would an elephant make a good pet?

Hello everybody,

I hope you are all well and being kind to your family. Thank you to those of you who have sent me photos and messages, it is good to hear that you are doing well. I have found some interesting questions which I thought might give you and your family something to talk about so I will put a 'Question of the Week' onto the website, don't argue about them, but listen to everyone's ideas and opinions carefully, there is no right or wrong answer!

Have you been doing some exercise? I've been doing the Joe Wicks workout on You Tube every day, it is hard but every day I can do a bit more! It would be good to know you are doing it at the same time as me!

I hope you have managed to plant the seeds we sent you, It will be great to see what colour all the flowers are. Even when everything changes and there is no school, the flowers keep on growing and the seasons carry on changing, we are heading into spring now, can you see leaves growing on the trees and flowers beginning to grow in the gardens?  

During the next two weeks we will be setting work for you to do at home so you can keep some routines going, but do remember to spend some special times as a family too!

Mrs Ward

Home Learning Pack

Here is another resource to use for ideas if you want to supplement the class home learning packs.

Home Learning

As the school is now closed, we have prepared a pack of resources for you to use with your child at home. We would suggest that children of this age thrive on some structure and routine in their day. Engage your child with cooking, games, crafts, books and stories, schoolwork and physical activity. It is important that your children stay active and keep talking! Having the same structure every day will really help your child and should help you too if you need to spend time working from home.

Each week we will update our class pages on the school website so you can follow a weekly plan of learning activities. We have also provided you with a home learning folder with a variety of tasks, activities and resources. It is clearly indicated on the home learning plan which resources are needed for each activity. As much as possible, we have tried to plan activities which once you have explained to the children, they should be able to complete independently.

Please find below, the attached planning documents and resources for use with your children during weeks 1 and 2 of school closures.

Each week that the school remains closed, we will add subsequent planning.

Please remember that you can email me by emailing

admin@haydn.nottingham.sch.uk

All emails will be forwarded to me

I would LOVE to hear from the children and find out all about their exciting home learning adventures!

Look after yourselves and stay safe
