Bore da pawb!

Learning must go on!

These are the tasks for today.

Literacy

Reading and writing farm animals 

Let’s write some animals down! Discuss with your child if they remember some of the animals from yesterday’s story. Say the names slowly and encourage/model your child to write them down.  

You can make it a game e.g. write word down and show it to your child while you read it. Put the word away and challenge them to write them without looking at it. You can check it together. They love having ‘ticks’ on their work. Or write the words and challenge them to read them, you can help them with little pictures of the animals alongside them.  

Pig, hen, duck, dog, cat 

Extension: horse, sheep and cow.

Welcome back! This year starts a little bit differently, learning from the comfort and safety of your own home.  Learning must go on!

Our New topic is ‘When I grow up I want to be...’, we are going to be learning about jobs and focusing on trying the best that we can be.

We have some websites to help us with our learning too:

 

https://readingeggs.co.uk/

 

Your child should have a username and password for Reading Eggs, if this is not the case, please email me and I will provide you with it.

Ensure your child spends time on this website every day, the lessons are fun, repetitive and the children learn effortlessly.

 

 

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/

 

We use this site as our main frame for our numeracy learning. The lessons are designed to do at home and are easy to follow.

This week I chose three of the lessons, but you are welcome to do all 5 if you want!

 

 

I would love to hear from you, send me pictures or videos of your work!

Make a list of the things you would like to take; balls, bucket and spade, kite... And also plan which food and drinks you are going to take, a picnic! you can make sandwiches as you have practiced lately and maybe baking some cookies too! smiley

Ready your game face and let the races begin. We have provided 5 events that could be done at home so feel free to use them or add your own (see video below). We adapted as we went along due to the lack of bean bags at the house. However, teddies made great replacements.

Week 5 - School Challenge

 

Bore da Reception! I hope you're ready for this week's challenge from Year 6...

Those of you who have been out walking during Lockdown, might have noticed painted stones, some of you might have even painted stones already - brightly coloured and each one different. In some places they have been lined up to make a snake. We'd like to make a Prendergast snake, of colourful, hand-painted stones, as a reminder of this time spent away from school. Your stone can be any shape or size (although you need to be able to carry it!).

 

You can paint it in any colour, any design, using paints or sharpies. You can make it about You or your time in Lockdown. It could be abstract and represent your feelings. We'd like you to be as creative as you can, and don't forget...it's all in the detail!

 

Once complete we'd like you to photograph your stone to send to us, and keep it safe, ready to add to our Prendergast Snake when you return to school.

School Challenge - Week 3

Hello everybody - hope you have had a lovely half term and have been enjoying the beautiful weather :)

Year 4 are setting the challenge this week, following our little break, for everybody to take part in, and this week we would like you to create a self portrait of yourself. There is no set success criteria for this. We would like you to do it in the format you wish. You could use paints, pastels, pencils, pens, whatever you wish. You could keep it low key or use lots of colour. You could make it very realistic or embellish it. It is your choice!

We have attached some images for inspiration and a video tutorial for drawing a pencil portrait if this is something you would like to try. Remember - in Art there is no right or wrong, just expression. Be creative and just do your best! And most of all, have fun doing it! :)

Also like real artists, we would like you to scribble a signature beside your finished portrait. For some of you this might be the first time you have even thought what your signature may look like. Adults use them all the time. And each adult has their very own style. This may be the perfect opportunity to practice yours. Traditionally, it is your first initial of your first name followed by your surname, but written in a unique way. But all signatures vary - check out the celebrity signature images attached - Do you know who they belong to? Are you inspired by them? Who knows, putting your signature onto your own portrait might make it worth millions one day :D

We are really looking forward to your entries. Please post them to your class stream page by Friday evening (June 5th) if you would like your entry to be included in the school video. Teachers - we are also looking to you for inspiration - get sharing, diolch :)

And so we come to the end of the half term.....and what a different one it has been!  We cannot express how proud we are of our children and wonderful families who have worked so hard in order to allow the home learning system to work.  The learning experiences that are taking place is outstanding and we love to see all of the activities that are going on.

 

Due to the hard work that has been taking place there will be no weekly planning uploaded onto the website for next week (wc 25.05.20) We would like you all to enjoy your half term break and have a good rest.

School Challenge - Week 2

Task: Your challenge this week is to create a piece of art using natural materials.
It can be a large or a small creation, you can work independently or with your siblings/adults. Please see the attached pictures for some inspiration! You could use items such as twigs, leaves, grass, pebbles, daisies, dandelions, buttercups and other natural materials you may find in the great outdoors.

Many of us have been spending more time outdoors and around nature during the lockdown, it can have positive benefits for our well-being and make us feel more connected with the natural world around us. This challenge has been inspired by a British artist named Andy Goldsworthy, he creates temporary art by working with nature. Many of his creations are made solely by using his bare hands! His art is often temporary, so photography plays a key role in his artwork – capturing the art before it decays and falls apart or floats away (please see attached PowerPoint for more information).

*If you intend to use some flowers, please be mindful of your impact on the environment - save some for the bees! Please note that it is against the law to pick Bluebells, do not pick them to include in your art.*

If you would like your art to be included in the video, please post it on your Google Classroom page by 3pm on Friday 22nd of May - we look forward to seeing your efforts!

School Challenge – Week 1

(During lockdown, it is important to keep as active as possible while having fun. This can help look after your health and well-being. To help everyone stay active, while learning and being creative, we have decided to set a weekly challenge for all students, parents/ carers and staff to enjoy).

* Task: To make a bird feeder for your garden or an outdoor space near you.

During this time, many of us are using our gardens or outside space to enjoy nature and be outdoors, to learn, and to improve our well-being.
Wildlife experts are seeing some hidden benefits of lockdown for animals and wildlife. The RSPB has reported a rise in sightings of birds and wildlife in gardens since the lockdown. While animals are getting some peace, with lots of people walking instead of driving, this means that animals that are usually shy and sensitive, might now be easier to spot as they come out of hiding. It also means that people are reconnecting with nature, which can be good for our mental health and can help improve our mood during these uncertain times.

Therefore, we would like you to make a bird feeder using recycled materials.

There are websites attached below to a variety of WAGOLL (what a good one looks like) bird feeders for any inspiration.
Please post any photographs of your bird feeders to us!

We look forward to seeing your creations!
