New Plans for Home Learning - Spring Term 2

Hello girls and boys. I hope you all had a lovely half term holiday and looking forward to Spring being just around the corner. 

You all worked so hard last term I am really looking forward to seeing more of your efforts over these coming weeks.

Each Tuesday at 10.30 we will have our weekly Zoom lesson. Please check Tapestry for the meeting login details. 

Parents, below is updated expectations for your child's home learning. 

Your child’s home learning tasks will be uploaded weekly here, on to the class page, of the website for you to complete. This will include online links to web pages. 

The children who are attending school will also be completing the same lessons.

It is vital that your child takes part in as many lessons as possible. 

All children have all been given a pack with their next steps highlighted and additional activities to support, resources for home learning lessons, five school reading books. If you have finished all the reading books it is essential that you create an Oxford Owl account online to access the free phonic books for your child. I will link the how to document below. 

In addition to this work your child needs to:

• Take part in daily Set 1 or Set 2 Phonic Read Write Inc lessons (as directed on Tapestry)
• A Literacy lesson delivered by an Oak National Academy teacher or a pre recorded lesson by Mrs Roberts (resources needed are shared are the start of the lesson)
• A Maths lesson delivered by an Oak National Academy teacher (resources needed are shared are the start of the lesson)
• A RE/Theme activity given by Mrs Roberts 

On Tapestry Mrs Roberts will upload keeping in touch videos and all EYFS staff will upload a story time video each week.

Post your child’s work and engagement with home learning on to tapestry daily. All staff will like, reply and comment to support your home learning.

If you need further support please send a message on Tapestry. 

This will be a different way of learning but school is always there to support you in anyway. 

Take care, Mrs Roberts 

Week Beginning 1st March 2021

Good morning Reception - Happy 1st of March and happy last week of home schooling. Here are your tasks for this week. Do not forget our final zoom lesson on Tuesday 10.30am and please remember to return just your reading books to school before Friday please. Thank you and good luck for this week.

Take care, Mrs Roberts 

Week Beginning 22nd February 2021

Week Beginning 8th February 2021

Well done everyone you had made it to the final week of the Spring 1 term...and what a term it has been. At the start of this year we did not expect to be in lockdown and teaching remotely but you have all been brilliant. We have one more week to keep going and working hard until we get to have a nice relaxing break for half term...and time to enjoy Shrove Tuesday and prepare for Ash Wednesday!

As I have done on previous weeks, I will share a weekly prayer time for you to do as a family on Tapestry.  

I am looking forward to our Zoom call again on Tuesday. Please check Tapestry for the meeting details and give yourself plenty of time to log in. 

There are a few changes to the home learning this week. Please read below: 

1. Some children will be taking part in some new Read, Write, Inc lessons and will begin learning their Set 2 sounds (very exciting). You will be notified on Tapestry if your child is to swop from Set 1 sound lessons to Set 2 sound lesson. 

2. There are four literacy lessons from Oak National Academy this week (please check what number lesson to do) and then I will be prerecording a lesson for Friday. 

3. Maths this week is all about shapes and position, so a nice change from number lessons. If you have 2D/3D Home learning tasks sheets in your packs you may want to use these alongside the lessons 

Finally, you will see on Twitter that we are taking art in the 'Go Parks Active School Challenge'. So, if you are out and about at the park find the Go Parks banner, scan the QR code (using your camera on your phone), enter in St Osburg's and win our school lots of points for prizes 

Take Care, 

Mrs Roberts 

Week Beginning 1st February 2021

Happy 1st of February girls and boys! Well done for completing a whole four weeks of home learning. I know things are strange at the moment but each week as we work that little bit harder we are getting closer to getting back to school. I am very excited this week as  we are having our first virtual Zoom meeting. On Tuesday the session will begin at 10.30 so please give yourself plenty of time to log on to Zoom. I look forward to seeing lots of your faces 

This week is Children's Mental Health week, so Wednesday is a well being day. Please see the plan linked below the day's learning experiences. 

As we know we are still in lockdown until at least 8th March, I would like all parents to create an Oxford Owl online account so your child can continue to read more phonic books everyday. In the document below, it tells you what to do and the books that are suitable for Reception children. 

In addition to this, I have made a 'how to' for accessing the maths worksheets for the online lessons. If you do not have access to a printer and feel your child needs a hard copy of the materials please let me know. 

If you need any further help please send a message on Tapestry. 

Thank you

Mrs Roberts

Handa’s Surprise 🥭🥑🍍🍌

Over the last couple of weeks the children have been reading ‘Handa’s Surprise’ and other related story books. The children have been using the globe, learning about safari animals and introduced to different cultures. Today the children enjoyed a fruit tasting session linked to the story. They were all encouraged to taste the range of fruits and describe how they tasted. There was lots of exciting words such as sour, tangy, creamy, sweet, squidgy and soft. Well done boys and girls

The children have been learning about people who care for them and who love and care for each other. Within their unit, they have been learning about the sacrament of marriage and what better way to learn all about than to have a wedding role play
