Nessy and Emile

Play some games on Nessy and Emile to practise your reading, spelling and number skills. Logins are in your home readers and instructions were sent home last term and are on the website under your child’s class.

Reading

Look at your reading books that were sent home at the end of term. Please remember to comment in the reading record.

Name Writing

If your child is unable to write their name, this could be practised in felt tip pen, outside with a brush and water or paint on paper.

Numbers

Practise forming your numbers correctly.  Can you put the correct number of objects by each number? Can year ones go up to 20?

Draw a picture of your favourite Christmas gift and colour it in. Can you label what it is? For some this will be mark making. Can you write why you like it so much.

Today we loved the visit from the Animal Man. We were so brave and enjoyed touching, stroking and holding lots of exciting animals that some of us had never seen before.

Science Enrichment Day!

We have been using our investigative and experimental skills to carry out a range of activities.  We have had lots of fun!

We have made:

  • electrical circuits to make the light bulb light,
  • soap bubble prints using paint, washing-up liquid and water,
  • erupting volcanoes, using vinegar, washing-up liquid, food colouring and bicarbonate of soda,
  • boats out of tin foil and testing to see if they would float or sink,
  • growing rainbows with kitchen roll, felt-tip pens, water, paperclips and thread.
