Healthy Living

Over the last couple of weeks we have been learning about healthy living. We have been doing lots of research to send to the Skeletons to make sure they know how to keep fit and healthy.

We found out that we need to exercise and eat healthy foods to live a healthy lifestyle.

Here is our amazing display of some of the work we have produced.

We recognised and named a number and placed it on our coats. We cycled round the playground and then parked at the correct/matching number in the car park.

Literacy Challenges

  • Writing your child’s name using a variety of resources/equipment – chalk/pens and paper/shaving foam/playdough/iPads/paint/water and paintbrushes outside/sand/pasta etc.

Support and encourage your child with their ‘pincer grip’ of holding the pencil/pen when writing/forming the letters.

What is a Pincer Grip? - Answered - Twinkl Teaching Wiki

  • Letters and Sounds  – please use the following website to find letter and sounds activities, resources and sets of ‘sounds’ and ‘words’ you can use at home. We are currently working at ‘Phase 2 Sounds’ but please feel free to work on ‘Phase 1’ too.

  • Jolly Phonics – listen to the following link on youtube to sing along to the letter sounds. They are in a different order to the ‘Letters and Sounds’ sounds but please do not worry about this, as the encouragement to sing and recognise the letters sounds is the important aspect.

  • ‘I spy letters’ game – can you find objects around the house that begin with different letters? e.g. s = smelly sock, a = apple, t = torch ect.

 

  • Handwriting Practise  – We are using the cursive handwriting in school – find formation sheets on Twinkl or look at the pack sent out to you at the end of Summer Term.

Fruit Kebabs

We designed and made a healthy fruit kebab for the Skeletons (from the story of Funnybones) to enjoy on their Skeleton picnic. We also used ordinal numbers and instruction writing to write the recipe and method.

They were very yummmmmmy!!
