Well done for the amazing work that you have all been doing. You have been learning so much about the solar system.

 

If you want to know anything else about space, your questions might be answered here:

Here are some images of the Earth, Sun and Moon.
Have a go at this space addition sheet. Count the objects to find the total.
For lots more space activities, look at the Cbeebies space topic page.
To get ready for Reception, here is a book with all the set 1 sounds from Read Write Inc. You can practise on the screen.
Join the dots and write the letter.
Listen to these sounds. Can you join the sounds to the letter?
Here are some general number activities.
Week beginning 6th July

We have been learning about the solar system now for many weeks. Can you name all the planets? How many are there and can you order them starting with the planet closest to the sun?

 

Did you see my blog post last week about Planet X or sometimes called Planet 9?

 

Here are some interesting facts about some of the planets.

Find out what the surface of Mars is like with NASA's Curiosity rover!
Use the word mat to write some space words and anything that you have learned about the solar system this term.
Continue the pattern with this game Planet Pal.

Can you hear the first sounds of the words planet and rocket? What are they?

Have a go at this activity.

Can you make a shape picture with this web page? Can you name the shapes that you have used?

 

I made a rocket. How many shapes did I use and what were they?

In space there is no gravity. Watch Tim Peake eating in space!

Eating in Space

Watch CBeebies Let's Play where Sid pretends to be an astronaut.

Let's Play: Astronaut!

Make a space helmet and pretend to be an astronaut.
I wonder, when you pretended to be an astronaut, did you see any aliens when you were in space? Try counting with Lecky the alien.
Do you remember this song?
Sing-a-long with the Storybots.

We are the Planets by StoryBots

Crew Dragon left Earth and flew to the International Space Station.

The Solar System Song

Have a go at the Blast Off game again. Use the 100 square to help you.
Check the BBC home learning page for more things to do.

Autumn Term

In Silver Class we have been having an exciting time, making new friends and settling in. We have been encouraging and supporting the children to form positive relationships with their peers and with the adults that will be working with them this year. Silver Class have been exploring their new surroundings and engaging in activities from all areas of the Foundation Stage Curriculum.

 

Take a look at what we have been doing.

We had a great time learning our Christmas songs to sing to our parents and carers. We especially enjoyed singing, 'When Santa got Stuck up the Chimney' and thought it was funny when his 'nose is tickling too'. 

Spring Term

 

Silver Class have settled back into the new term, by travelling on our very own 450 bus. We have been taking it in turns to drive the bus and become passengers, going to all sorts of places. 

 

"I went to the funfair"

Gigi

 

"I went shopping and bought some food"

Hana

 

"I was the bus driver and I took the passengers to Australia"

Tilly

 

"Someone is ringing the bell, so I have to stop the bus to let everyone off"

Isaac

The second half of the spring term has started with all things dinosaur! We have been paleontologists, finding fossils. We have found dinosaur bones and skeletons on our adventures.
