Physical Activities Week 2 11/1/21

Physical Development in the Early Years is a prime area.  There are only 3 prime areas which are Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Communication and Language and Physical Development so it is really important for our children to get moving during lock down.

Each week we will focus on a different activity that you can do daily.

LO: To throw and catch a large ball. 

Catching - Children to each have a ball and throw it up and catch it.  Or you can do it with your child or other children in your household and throw and catch it to each other.

If you don’t have space inside you could go to the park or an open space during your daily exercise.

• When first learning to catch, encourage your child to catch the ball by wrapping their arms around the ball and cradling it to their chest. When their accuracy to catch the ball against their chest improves, encourage them to use only the palms of their hands and fingers.

Other activities you may wish to do with your child are:

• PE with Joe Wicks (live Monday, Wednesday, Friday but it is all accessible on YouTube)
• Cosmic Yoga https://www.youtube.com/user/CosmicKidsYoga The children love these as they often tell a story.
• Andy’s Wild Workouts on iPlayer https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/p06tmmvz/andys-wild-workouts these are good for short moving activities.
• BBC Lets Move KS1 Dance programs https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01n8jpz/episodes/player These are 20 minute dance activities the children can follow.  They enjoy following these in school.

Phonics

This week we are learning the digraphs th, ng and ai. 

We have uploaded all the documents for this week and are hoping to upload a video of the lesson daily. 

Topic

Over the next 2 weeks our topic will be the story Oi Frog.  All the activities will be linked to the story and children will be doing lots of rhyming.  If you have the story at home please read this to your child but we do have the video if the story on here for your children to enjoy as many times as they like. 

Kinetic Letters 

This week we are starting to teach the children our hand writing program called kinetic letters.  We have a page on our school website which gives you all the information on this and videos on how to form each letter. By clicking on the pencil below your child can watch the video and then have a go at the sheet in their home learning pack. The videos are in order of how we teach them. Enjoy! 

This week we are starting with the Jumper Family - letters h, n, m, r

Maths

This week in maths we are focussing on 1 more and 1 less. 

Below are the presentations to help your child with the learning each day.  We have also provided the maths activity pack if you haven't collected it from school.
