Welcome to Beech Class Home Learning Zone!

On this page we aim to signpost you to websites that can support your child’s learning journey as it continues at home.

As we move forward into our new term of Home Learning, we are going to be providing you with some daily activities. This will follow a similar structure to that of a school day. It is not intended to be followed rigidly as we appreciate that there are a lot of other things going on at home. The daily packs will remain on the website so you can access them when you need to.

The pack includes a rainbow tracker that carry over the week as it does in class. This provides extra little activities linked to the week’s learning and can be dipped into as and when you wish.

Please note if your child is in KS1 Phonics group, they will complete that activity and the Y2 spelling group will complete their activity. It is not intended for all to do both activities.

We would love to see their efforts so please take photographs and email them to our new class email account: WDF.Beech@stcmat.org – we look forward to seeing their brilliant work!

Daily activities

St.Christopher’s mat have a collective worship channel. It can be found at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9D04PKFCZwS8uce_KLIBjw/featured

Phonics – Please encourage your child to access the website ‘Phonics Play.’ Here you will find lots of games and activities that will support and consolidate your child’s current learning. Year 1 children should use the phase 5 section. We especially love ‘Reading Robot’ as it helps us to read nonsense and real word (they are fantastic at this!). We sometimes like to play hangman with simple words and make up our own alien words.

Writing – Encourage your child to draw/stick in a picture and write in their book. Beech Class have been doing lots of work on using interesting vocabulary and are working hard to remember capital letters and full stops. They are also working really hard on their handwriting.

http://www.pobble365.com/ – Lots of picture stimulus for creative writing.

Reading – This could be books, comics, recipes etc. It is really important that the children discuss what they have read, ask them questions, encourage them to ask questions, talk about what has happened already and what might happen next. Reading to your child is just as important.

Big Cat Collins have a login for parents where you can read leveled ebooks. These are books that the children use in school. – https://connect.collins.co.uk/school/Portal.aspx

Maths – There is so much opportunity for maths in real life – cooking is a great way of developing maths skills. Telling the time is another great maths skill to practice at home. Children can also be practicing their times tables, in particular 2, 5 and 10. In addition we have sent home some fractions work sheets for Year 2 some addition and subtraction practice sheets for the Year 1s.

The following websites/links have lots of maths games and ideas

Each week the children bring home a list of spellings. Try to practice them as much as you can. Please remember to bring spelling books in alongside reading books and reading records daily. At the bottom of this page you will find a link to the Year 1 and Year 2 common exception words. This is a list of words that we use regularly in our writing but are more difficult to spell. If you have the opportunity to use these in writing at home please do!

Remember to keep reading and to practice spellings at home. The homework menu and topic web can be found at in the links below.

Please check the school newsletter for any important information and dates each week!
