EYFS

Welcome to Reception 2020!

Miss Houldershaw, Mrs Glenn and Mrs Speirs-Davies would like to welcome you all to our year group page, where we will put news and information about our learning this year. 

Spring 1

We hope you have had a very wonderful Christmas time. 

Please find a couple of activities to get started on tomorrow if you are learning from home. We, as always, look forward to seeing your uploads to Tapestry.

Maths: Recap subitsing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSlA-u_ABmU

Can you recognise sets of a number around the house. Can you split them up a different way? for example can you split 5 objects into 3 and 2, 4 and 1. 

Phonics: Have a go at the sounds and tricky words we have learnt so far: Youtube - tricky word song and Youtube - jollyphonics sounds

Explore the phonics section on the school website. Have a go at some of the games via the links provided. 

Starting point: Watch the friendly dinosaur which has visited the classroom over the holidays. We have put it up on Tapestry. Mrs Glenn has added a few questions to get you thinking about what we can do to let people know about our pet dinosaur!

Autumn Term 1

Welcome to Coningsby St. Michaels. We are so excited to have you starting with us. This term is all about settling the children in, looking at where they are and getting to know their amazing personalities. We will be doing lots of learning through play alongside some phonics, number and fine motor sessions. Please check the termly newsletter link for key information and an overview. 

Our church school value this term is:

Friendship

Our bible story of the term is Zacchaeus and Jesus befriending him.

We will be exploring friendship and what it means in our nurture sessions together. If you have any examples of your child showing our Church School Values please add a message or photo to Tapestry. 

Later in the term we will look at how we are all part of Coningsby St. Michaels and new starters will add a named stone to our school Cairn. 

September 2019 to August 2020

Home Learning Summer 2 Week 1

W/b 11/05/20 home learning 

Here is the grid for this week's learning ideas, and some links to resources below. 

We hope you are finding the home learning useful. Thank you for the amazing responses on Tapestry. It is so encouraging to see all you are doing at home with your children. If you have still not accessed Tapestry and are not sure how to do it, please email enquiries and we will help!

This week there is a bit more for Phonics but please do this as much as it is helpful. These are ideas and not supposed to be the cause of any stress. 

Can't wait to see your photos of Elmers and eco-warrior-ing.
