WELCOME TO OUR EYFS BLENDED LEARNING PAGE

Happy New Year from all of the EYFS team. We hope you have been able to enjoy and have a magical Christmas and are ready for this new term even though it is a little different from last.

This page is where you will find all of the activities you will need to complete while you are learning from home. These activities are for a whole 5 day school week so please complete the activities as you see best and that fit in with your daily work schedule too. 

We would love you to share your home learning with us using your Tapestry Online Learning Journey. Pop some pictures or videos on there for us to see. If you have any questions please use your child's Tapestry Learning Journey to communicate with us and one of the EYFS team will be happy to help.

Home learning week beginning 18th January - Aliens love underpants! Or do they? 

Please accept our apologies but the live links from Oak Academy would not copy direct to here for you to be able to click on, therefore please either type the link in below or copy and paste it into a new browser. We are very sorry for this inconvenience. 

Literacy:  this week we are giving you three links for three lessons linked to the Gingerbread Man story. These three lessons are very closely linked together as the children develop their knowledge and understanding of the story and story writing/creating.

The Gingerbread Man -  
Lesson 3 -  To step and speak the story - https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/to-step-and-speak-the-story-6dh30d 

Lesson 4 - To explore description through song - https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/to-explore-description-through-song-68rp4t

Lesson 5 - To explore description through role play - https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/to-explore-description-through-role-play-c9j36r

Maths:  Number 8 - recognising and counting numbers within 8 - https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/recognising-and-counting-numbers-within-8-61hp8t 

Understanding the conversation of 8 - 

https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/understanding-the-conservation-of-number-within-8-chgp8t

Number blocks series 2, episode 8 is all about number 8.  Can you ask your child to count 8 objects? Can they tell you what one more and one less than 8 is? Can they show you using objects and add one or take one away? Can you play a matching game with different images of 8 on pieces of paper and if they turn two over that match, they keep that pair! Images of 8 could be the digit, 8 lines, 8 stars, 8 dots all spaced out differently. 

Using 8 objects ask your child to split them into two groups and make number sentences. Ask them to say the number sentence as they are doing this, eg 1 add 7 more equals 8 and also showing them that 7 add 1 more is also equal to 8. Help your child record these number sentences either using dots to show the amounts or by writing the numbers. 

We use white rose maths to support our teaching in school -

please go to white rose home learning early years Alive in 5 week 2. This is some consolidation work of composition of numbers to 5. You can also apply this knowledge to larger numbers with your child.

Literacy:  The Gingerbread Man -  Lesson 1 - To listen to and join in with a story (thenational.academy) 

Story time: Whatever next by Jill Murphy -  Whatever Next | Kids Books Read Aloud - YouTube

RWI: Review the sounds from your set 1 sound mat. Can your child say the sound of every letter of special friends (two letters that make just one sound, for eg, sh)? We have included a photo of the set 2 sound mat that the children have been learning in school before the Christmas holidays. Please could you review these sounds also?

Word cards/key rings. It will be important that your child continues to read these words. The final aim is to be reading these on sight but if they are finding this tricky then they can say the sounds of the word out loud (fred talk) or silently to themselves (fred in their head) and then blend the sounds together to read the word. They may need your help to do this blending with some words that they aren't familiar with.

To find out more about how we teach reading and writing through Read Write Inc and to help with daily phonics and reading activities  then please search for Ruth Miskin Training on facebook or go to the link www.ruthmiskin.com. This will give you a daily schedule of lessons available at 9.30 each day which will recap sounds, green words and tricky red words as well as reading and writing sentences.

Maths:  Number 6 - Consolidation of counting to 6 (thenational.academy)

Number blocks episodes can be found on BBC iPlayer or You Tube. We use these in school to support children in learning mathematical concepts.  

Number 6, series 2, episode 1 will support learning about number 6. Can you use objects with your child to find different ways to make 6? Try and focus on splitting the objects into two different groups so that they can see that the two group (two parts) are equal to 6. 

Series 2, episode 9 has a focus on number doubling. Double 3 is 6. Can your child represent this using their fingers, dice, objects and spots? Can they write the number sentence 3 + 3= 6? Work through the number doubles of 1,2 3 4 5 and 6 with your child.

Literacy:  The Gingerbread Man -  Lesson 2 - To map and speak the story (thenational.academy)

Maths:  Number 7 - Recognising and counting numbers within 7 (thenational.academy)

Number blocks number 7, series 2, episode is all about number 7. Can you ask your child to count 7 objects? Can they tell you what one more and one less than 7 is? Can they show you using objects and add one or take one away? You could write numbers on paper and ask your child to order them. As they are doing this, say "one more than one is two, one more than two is three."

Using 7 objects ask your child to split them into two groups and make number sentences. Ask them to say the number sentence as they are doing this, eg 5 add 2 more equals 7 or 3 add 4 make 7. Help your child record these number sentences either using dots to show the amounts or by writing the numbers. 

Series 3, episode 13 helps children understand that numbers past 5 are made up of 5 and a bit. This helps children learn their number bonds. Eg 7 is made of 5 and 2 more, 5 add 2 is equal to 7.
