Good morning FS1 and FS2: click the links to find the video from your class teacher!
We have had so much wonderful learning shared from home that we have now created a 'Sharing Our Learning' gallery on the main page so we can keep on adding more!
These are some ideas for learning at home today. A reminder that you don't have to do all (or any) of these today. Maintaining a routine and a connection with school are the most important things!
This Week Foundation Stage Children are going to become...
For the next two weeks, we are going to be Little Storytellers! Stories are one of the best ways for children to develop their language skills, learning new words, phrases and text structure. We build firm foundations for children to learn a story structure by imitating (retelling a story), innovating (changing some parts of the story) and then inventing (making up your own story now you’re practised using a story structure).
Overview of 'Little Storytellers' for Parents
If you Missed Missed Anything This Week....
Miss Clare's guidance on using Sign Language to support storytelling orMiss Clare and Miss Pao Imitating 'The Enormous Turnip' follow this link to Tuesday's Learning:
Or maybe you missed Miss Robine, Miss Jaree and Miss Gib's innovated stories on yesterday's page here:
Let's Try a Story S!
Hopefully you’ve had two days of imitating and innovating a traditional tale! Have you explored different ways to tell the story, such as with toys, puppets, Lego, family members as actors? Today, you can continue to explore imitating and innovating. Children learn best through repetition so your child might want to continue to explore their favourite traditional tale - in school, we would concentrate on the same story for many days so that we can get to know the story structure better and better. If they want a new challenge today, they might want to tell the story in a new way, choose a new story or try plotting the story onto a story S - Ms Sarah explains how.

Miss Sarah Innovates the Enormous Turnip to 'The Stuck Tuk Tuk' using a Story S!
Parents - The focus here is still on talk so feel free to draw your child's story for them as they tell it to you! This is what the teacher would do at school at this stage. The drawing slows down the flow for young children.
If your child really wants to...maybe they can draw one after!

Today's Challenges
Can you imitate and then maybe innovate a story with a Story S? You can ask a grown up to draw your story as you tell it to them!
Challenge One: Innovate 'The Enormous Turnip' with a Story S
Challenge Two: Innovate any other story you like from the bank of different traditional tales in the resource folder with a Story S
Challenge Three: Use a different story, not a traditional tale - you might choose from your favourite books at home and innovate it with a Story S.
Please choose according to your child’s interests - this might be a story from home, including from a different language or culture. We also use Sign For Learning to help children notice some key words. You can try using these at home too, in English and your own language. You don’t need to use them all: you can just use one or two to teach your child a new word to use in their storytelling. Please see Little Storytellers supporting materials resources page for more signs.

Sensory Play - Going on a senses hunt!
Providing opportunities for children to actively use their senses as they explore their world through ‘sensory play’ is crucial to brain development – it helps to build nerve connections in the brain’s pathways. This leads to a child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks and supports cognitive growth, language development, gross motor skills, social interaction and problem solving skills.
