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 in Foundation Stage we are going to be...
Parents...
Inquiry-based learning helps our children to stay curious and motivated to keep learning. In Foundation Stage, children's imaginations are rich with curiosity and this week's learning gives your child the space to explore anything they are interested in.
Look at the phases that inquiry-based learning might take:

Here's an example of how these phases might look for a child exploring a new, interesting vegetable they've seen at the shop:
Sometimes the hardest part can be helping the child to choose one thing they want to explore. If your child already knows, go ahead and explore the phases above. If they need some inspiration, you could watch our teachers modelling the inquiry questions they have. Your child might also be inspired by our explorer-themed daily book and an explorer-themed daily challenge.
Children...
Are you ready to be an explorer? An explorer is anyone who wants to find out something new! What do you want to find out today?

We are also developing Characteristics of Effective Learning:
Physical Development
Create your own bowling game with a twist. Instead of using your arm to throw and roll a ball to hit the pins, use your foot. This is a wonderful game to practice your kicking skills.
เรามาสร้างเกมโบลิ่งของตัวเองกันดีกว่าค่ะ แทนที่จะใช้แขนโยนลูกให้ไปโดนพิน เด็กๆลองใช้เท้าแทนสิคะ เกมที่น่าสนุกนี้จะช่วยเราฝึกทักษะทางด้านการเตะได้ดีเลยล่ะค่ะ
Phonics
FS1: Play I Spy by sounding out the name of the object you are looking at.
Blend the sounds together to find out what the object is. For example, "I spy something that is round. I spy a /b/ /a/ /l/ (ball)."
FS2: writing sentences for Little Explorers
Sensory play
For today’s sensory play, try making some foam!
You will need:
- 2 tablespoons of dish washing soap, liquid detergent or baby soap.
- ¼ cup water
- A few drops of food colouring (optional)
- A mixer
Mix it all up for a couple of minutes and put it in a big container. Make as much as you need for your child to explore. If your child has sensitive skin, use baby soap.
