FS1 Continuing Student Learning Tuesday 31st August

Guidance- English

We hope you loved getting into role and pretending to be different people yesterday! We always have a great time stepping into someone else’s shoes and thinking what life might be like for them! 

Do you think we can expand your imaginations even more? Today, let’s make believe we are pretend characters. Maybe you’d like to be an alien with 3 heads? Or, how about a big, flying dinosaur? Would you like to be a troll living under a bridge? Or, a princess who lives on a cloud?

Try out any role that takes your fancy. We would love to see what you come up with and all the interesting words that you use whilst in character.

Talk about where the best place would be for this learning, it could get messy!

Now that the water has frozen, talk to your child about how they could get their toy out of the ice.

I wonder how you could get it out?

Your child might suggest running the container under warm water for a little bit or putting it near a window for the sunshine.

Pop the ice block out of its container.

Now you are going to have some fun!

Encourage your child to explore their frozen toy with a magnifying glass, if you have one at home.

I wonder how you could get your toy out of the ice?

What ideas does your child have?

Have fun finding different ways and experimenting with their ideas.

Upload a photograph onto your Seesaw to show your child’s learning.

About Our Learning Packs

Dear Parents

As Patana’s Continuing Student Learning (CSL) period continues into a new term, children and teachers will be learning what makes great lessons online and honing their skills on the technology; however, for our youngest students, screen time is not always so easy. Whilst our youngest students love working with their teacher onscreen, they also benefit immensely from hands-on, practical and creative tasks that aren’t always easy to deliver online.

If there’s anything our fantastic Foundation Team enjoy, it’s a challenge. So, over the last week, our team put together these fantastic home learning packs to bring Continuing Student Learning to life. Our home learning packs enhance our students’ learning and supplement our teachers’ home learning activities. They include activities that cover all aspects of the Early Years Seven Learning Areas. You can visit our CSL blog which includes some home learning ideas for our open ended resources, learning opportunities and key questions. The bags provide a fun, practical and creative learning opportunity for all of our Foundation Stage students!

Over the course of a 3 week period, the bags will contain materials that can support the learning from home. Your child’s class teacher will be in touch via email with instructions of how to access the blog for some inspiration. We kindly ask that you take great care of all the resources provided and return these to school at the end of the 3 week period prior to picking up your new bag.

We hope you enjoy exploring these packs alongside our CSL provision and as always, please do contact your child’s class teacher if you have any queries regarding the learning.

Kind Regards,

The Foundation Stage Team
