FS1 Continuing Student Learning Wednesday 1st September

Guidance- English

You have been using your imaginations so brilliantly over the last two days! Now you’ve had a chance to become role playing experts, maybe you’d like to share your new imaginative learning with someone else? Today, you could invite someone in your house to join your make believe play. Make sure you help them to get into character with some dressing up clothes, a prop or an interesting new voice. We know family members might be quite busy with their learning, so, you could always invite a favourite toy to join your role play instead!

We often make our learning and our talk even stronger when we share it with someone else. Enjoy being the expert role players today, FS1! We can’t wait to see what you and your scene partners come up with.

This is a messy learning activity and will need to be done outside.

This session will focus on water play. The children will find some toys that they love and maybe need a clean. They will then make some bubbly water to clean them with.

Talk to your child about what they could clean.

• I wonder which toys you would like to clean?
• I wonder where we should do this learning?

Talk to your child about what they will need to collect from around the house to be able to do this.

• I wonder what we need?
• I wonder how we can make the bubbly water?
• I wonder how we can clean these toys?

Take a photograph of your child cleaning their toys and upload it to Seesaw to show us 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
