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 Miss Clare and Miss Pao Imitating 'The Enormous Turnip' follow this link to Tuesday's Learning:

Today, we are continuing to imitate and innovate stories. Children learn through repetition and will benefit from revisiting the storytelling process today. If you imitated on Tuesday but didn’t innovate - can you do so today? Would you like to continue your innovation from Tuesday? Or would you like to choose a new story to imitate and innovate? Look at the Shared Gallery on blog to be inspired by your friends’ ideas.

Innovate Stories by Acting Them Out! 

How will you tell your story today? Can you innovate your story by acting it out with your family? Which character will you be? Here’s Ms Robine and her family acting out the story at home:

Look at this picture of FSD acting out the enormous turnip together - can you see the children being a turnip? Can you see all the characters pulling? Which characters do you think they are? What do you think will happen next?

We are also developing Characteristics of Effective Learning:

Remember the challenges we set on Tuesday? Why not try a different one today?

Can you imitate and then maybe innovate a story however you like? You might act it out with toys, with Lego, with your family as actors?

Challenge One: Innovate 'The Enormous Turnip'

Challenge Two: Innovate any other story you like from the bank of different traditional tales in the resource folder

Challenge Three: Use a different story, not a traditional tale - you might choose from your favourite books at home.

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.
