Corridor for Nature Project

Canal River Trust

Canals and rivers are often referred to as ‘Corridors for Nature’. They are home to hundreds of species of plants and animals. The areas around our canals and rivers provide six very different habitats.

We’d like you to think about how you could re-design an area of your garden or outside space to create a Corridor for Nature at your home. Your designs should be inspired by one or more of the canal and river habitats.

We'd love to see your final designs. Share them with us on the Explorers or Twitter pages.

Creative Afternoon - This week we are going to learn all about spiders!!

Listen to the story ‘The very busy spider’ by Eric Carle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfL0g-XRxnA

The story is about a little spider that spends her day working away, spinning a web. Throughout the day her animal friends come along and invite her to stop working and play with them. But instead of ditching out, she keeps spinning away. She finishes the web at the end of the day and her hard work pays off when she catches a fly in her web.

Read the story ‘The Night Pirates’ or listen to it being read to you.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE5MZB5pedUMQRHw2etfKDkufdGKDiPsU

Talk about the story

There are lots of questions included in the story, talk about them as you share the book; including the last one ‘No one would ever find out….would they? ’What do children think?

Did anything surprise children about the story?

What might mum or dad say if Tom tells them about the night pirates?

Role-play

Children could pretend to be Tom in the crow’s nest illustrated on the cover, perhaps using a large plastic storage container or linen basket to sit in. You could use the telescope you made in the White Rose Maths activity and you might like to make a pirate flag as well (see attachment below).

Together, role-play a conversation between one of the girl pirates and Tom on the ship. What orders might Tom be given?

Write a pirate log
Children can write Tom’s ‘log’ or diary for the night in the story using the attached Pirate Log template.

Nursery and Reception Home Learning Support

Starting School

I am so pleased to hear that many of our pre-school children will be joining me in Reception Class in September. For more information please see the school website – Key information – starting school 2020.

Congratulations to you all!

Daily routine

If you would like to try a more structured routine while your child is home from school, then I have attached a suggested daily timetable. However, every child is different – the key to success is being flexible and finding a routine that works for you.

Please remember, play is still the most valuable thing you can do with your children and children will be constantly learning while they play.

National Literacy Trust

https://literacytrust.org.uk/family-zone/

The literacy Trust has developed a ‘family zone’ which is a comprehensive site for parents. Split up by age group, you will find ideas and guidance for simple activities that will engage your children at home, while also benefiting their reading, writing and language development.

You'll be able to access free reading and writing resources, audio books, videos, competitions and reading challenges. Every resource is available for free, although to access some you may need to create a free account.

If you would like to try sticking to a more structured routine while your child is home from school, then I have attached a document with some ideas to get you started. However, these are just some helpful ideas, every child is different – the key to success is being flexible and finding a routine that works for you.

Creative Afternoon

Even though we are learning at home I would still like to continue with our topic ‘Our Favourite Stories’. This week’s story focus is ‘We’re Going on an Egg Hunt’.

Based on We’re Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury, the story follows a family of rabbits looking for Easter eggs. Instead of going through grass or snow, the rabbits encounter lambs, chicks, bees and ducks. The refrain of ‘Can’t go over them, Can’t go under them, Can’t go around them’ is repeated every time the rabbits encounter an obstacle.

Then the rabbits, laden with eggs, come across a wolf hiding behind an enormous egg. The rabbits scurry home retracing their steps but dropping a few eggs on their way back. Safely home, they slam the door to stop the wolf before eating their eggs. Right at the back of the book, we see the wolf eating his ill-gotten gains.

If you do not have the book you can listen to it being read via this link;

Please find attached some maths related activity ideas based on the story – there are lots here so please don’t feel you have to do them all today!

I love seeing photos of you all so please remember to upload them on showbie!

Creative Afternoon

This is our last day on the story ‘The Gruffalo’ and the children should now be able to ‘read’ the story to you!

(They might not be able to read each individual word but should be able to recite it from memory – a vital story telling skill!)

Key question; Would you like to have tea with the Gruffalo?

Can the children answer the question and give their reasons why they would/would not like to have tea with a Gruffalo.

I have attached a worksheet for children to draw and describe their own terrible creature!

I look forward to seeing what you have been learning today!

Best wishes,

Mrs Hyde

Dear Reception and Nursery

Our school has closed, just for a while,

But our learning will not stop but just change in style.

There’s a very nasty bug that we don’t want you to get,

So it’s best to stay at home and try not to get upset.

It’s okay if you feel a little scared or sad,

It’s hard when things are different but not everything is bad.

I will be at my house and you will be at yours,

You will carry on with learning and play and help with chores.

Be sure to check the school website for what to do each day,

Include our maths, phonics and reading tasks and don’t forget to play.

Whilst many things are changing some things will stay the same,

I am still your teacher and ‘Team Walford’ is still our name.

We’ll help support each other and keep in touch for sure,

Once everything is safe again we’ll run back through the door.

We’ll be back with our friends again at school and parties too,

But whilst things are different I’ll send you work to do!

Thinking of you all,

Mrs Hyde x

Time to get moving – something to make everyone smile!

Start the day the right way by holding your own dough disco!
