Join in with Sid’s blending game! Carefully listen to him sound talking some words and see if you can blend the sounds together to see which object he is saying!
Have a look on the two following websites to watch some more videos about our new sound 'n'. You could even try and write out new sound using: chalk, whiteboard and pen, pencil and paper or you could try and write it in some shaving foam! Remember our new phrase "down Nobby and over his net."

Welcome to week 2 of home learning everybody! We are SO proud of all the things you achieved last week and we hope you’re just as enthusiastic about the final few days of home learning. We are counting down the sleeps until we are back in school together - 3 more sleeps to go! Take a look at your activities for today - we hope you have lots of fun! Don’t forget to share them with us on Evidence Me or via email.
Literacy
In your home learning pack you should find an initial sound activity. Here's Mrs Robinson with an initial sound quiz to get you warmed up.
Today we're focusing on patterns! Patterns often repeat themselves over and over again. Sometimes a colour repeats red, blue, red, blue or sometimes the size big, small, big, small or even the object apple, banana, apple, banana. Mrs Thornburrow has used some things from around her home to create patterns - can you say the pattern that's repeating in each photo?
Wider Curriculum - Creative and Story telling
Listen to Mrs McDonald’s story and see what challenge she has for you!
Hello everyone, I hope you're all excited for another day of fun learning involving stories, shapes and small world! You have been working SO hard over the past few days and we can tell from your photos that you're having a great time learning at home. We can't wait to see what you get up to today.
Literacy
Following in from your ‘time to talk’ sheets in your paper pack. Miss Shepherd has read a story for you, snuggle up and get Cody whilst listening to her story! At the end she focuses on her favourite page and asks you to join in by answering some questions about that page! We hope you enjoy and make sure you have your listening ears on during the story.
Today your challenge is to go on a shape hunt around your house looking for 2D shapes - circles, triangles, squares and rectangles. Mrs Robinson has been hunting for shapes in her house and has taken some photos of them. Do you know which shape each item is?
Today you have been challenged to use some items and characters from around your home to tell stories. Where is your story set? The beach, the shops or in a town? Who are your characters and what are their names? What will happen in your story? What will your characters say to each other? Mrs Thornburrow has created her very own setting and story to give you some great ideas - watch below.
Thursday 15th October
Good morning boys and girls. We are super excited for another day of home learning and have more activities ready for today.

Literacy - Name Writing
Maths
Following on from your paper pack counting activity. Mrs McDonald challenges you to do some counting around your house! Take a look at what she's done...
Mrs McDonald has been counting objects from around her home. Can you count how many she has? Can you read the number to tell your grown up how many objects there are?
Oh no! Mrs McDonald ran out of sticky notes so she couldn't label how many objects she had! Can you count how many objects there are in each picture and write it down?
Now see if you can count objects from around your home! See how many pieces of fruit are in the fruit bowl, how many toys you have or how many books! You can count absolutely anything! Good luck!
Wider Curriculum - ICT
If you haven't already, you will need to download the ChatterPix or ChatterKids app from the app store.
Take a ChatterPix picture of a family member, pet, favourite toy - anything you like! Press the next button, draw a line on your objects mouth and record yourself telling us something interesting about your chosen item. Make sure you rehearse your sentence first.
You can edit your ChatterPix by adding text and a filter. Look at Golden Bear's example below.
