From spreading joy with rainbows, baking and dance challenges, to getting busy with treasure hunts, craft activities and reading, Cassatt class have been really busy learning at home. The juggling act parents and carers are undertaking is truly admirable, but remember you are not alone! With young children, it is tricky to encourage independent learning, so do not feel disheartened if the children are finding this hard. As best you can, work to a timetable that is tailored to your own routines; this will help the children understand what is expected of them every day. Displaying this timetable for your child to see is a good idea, and post it notes (like the example pictured) are a great way to work flexibly. Refer to your Home Learning packs for details on what your child should be engaging with each day. Please do not hesitate to email cassatt@windhill.herts.sch.uk if you would like to share some work, ask advice or clarify anything at all.
We have been receiving so much work from the children; it is so lovely to see what you have been up to. A lot of you have been using Purple Mash to develop literacy skills, through letter formation practice and segmenting words to write their very own captions. Children have also been using Fred Fingers to write words and simple sentences on their home learning boards; very impressive! RWI phonics sessions and story times on YouTube have also been a roaring success and help to embed familiar school routines.
To mark the start of a brand new term after Easter, we will be sending you new topic packs all about Minibeasts! Literacy work will focus on two key stories ('The Very Hungry Caterpillar' and 'The Very Busy Spider') both available as online animations. Maths learning will centre around revisiting and reviewing past learning with the help of The Numberblocks, and we will be providing you with lots more ideas to engage with the new topic.
