Bore Da Pawb,
We hope you have all had a restful, fun and safe Easter. Today we would have be waking up and getting ready to start a new term. In Foundation Phase we would be looking at the topic ‘In the Garden’, however, even though we aren’t in the classroom, we will still be creating different home learning challenges with the ‘In the Garden’ topic in mind.
You will see an attached Home Learning Challenge sheet with resources to support. This Home Learning Challenge sheet is based on the story ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’. Please use these challenges as you see fit and adapt them to suit your children’s strengths and interests.
We hope you find these useful, some of the challenges will link to PurpleMash 2dos.
Do what you feel comfortable doing, enjoy this sunshine this week and make memories with each other.
Please take a look at our PurpleMash blog and use the blog to communicate your updates or if you require any support.
Many thanks for your support and co-operation again,
Miss Davies Mrs Harris Mrs Williams

Foundation Phase: Easter Holiday Ideas
Hello!
Thank you to everyone who has supported their children over the past two weeks with their home learning. As it is the Easter break, we will not be setting any direct tasks over these next two weeks. However, I have created a selection of ideas that can involve all the family.
However, please keep sharing what you are doing with us through these two weeks. Even though we are on our break, I will still be keeping an eye out.
Thank you so much for all your support,
From

Foundation Phase: Week 5
Week 5 has been a busy week full of different activities. Nursery have been focusing on number 2. They have listened again to the story Stomp, Dinosaur, Stomp and we completed a mini review. Did we enjoy it? and we talked about our favourite bit and then drew a picture. They have also been practicing their counting skills in the classroom and decorating a dinosaur by copying patterns. Reception have continued with Jolly Phonic sounds. They have been focusing on the traditional tale ‘The Enormous Turnip’ and in Maths they have been practicing counting objects, recognising and forming numbers. Reception have been learning what dinosaurs eat and comparing them to what we eat. As well as all of this, they have completed various independent activities to practice their skills in the areas of the classroom. Hear is to another busy week next week!
