Learning from Home WB 18th January

18th January 2021Natalie Jewitt

If you’d like to see our daily routine please look at my post from WB 1th January which will be underneath this post.

My email address is:

njewitt@ashley.s-tyneside.sch.uk

You can contact me using my email or through Seesaw.

All work from now on will be released using the Seesaw Class App so please do ask for help if you aren’t on it.  It can be used on most phones, kindle fires, tables, ipads, computers, chromebooks and anything else I haven’t mentioned.  I have also heard that X-Boxes and Playstations can be used too!

Please also remember that we work with 3 and 4 year olds so the work I’ll be setting will need to have adult input/help/support.  

Useful websites are:

Education City (If you need log on details just ask)

Purple Mash (If you need log on details just ask)

Numberblocks

Go Noodle

Cosmic Kids 

Oxford Owl

Scholastic

Tidy up Rhumba

Phonics Play (It’s free at the minute and we are Phase 1)

Teach Your Monster to Read (free on desktop)

Nursery Rhymes on the BBC

Nursery Learning From Home WB 11th January 2021

11th January 2021Natalie Jewitt

Please do remember that when your child is in nursery we don’t work solid for three hours – our routine looks like this (there’s lots of repetition):

Welcome – hang coats up, put bags away, wash hands, do the register, say hello, talk about the weather and count how many children are in.

Music and Movement – we sing songs, recite rhymes and dance, lots of counting up and counting down in ones.  There are some nice ideas on the BBC website.

Small Group Time –  we break into our smaller groups and carry out a teacher led activity with either Mrs Brown, Mrs Jewitt or Miss Thompkins.

Independent Learning – this usually lasts about 90 minutes and is a time where the children explore the nursery and access all of the areas.  They choose what they would like to do e.g. paint, build, play outside, use the role play, small world, ipads, computers, reading area etc.  We will help the children by modelling activities, providing resources, talking to them and listening.  The adults also record anything new and exciting either on paper or seesaw.

Large Group Time – we all come back together (after tidying the nursery) and play a group game, do circle time, use the parachute and work on our phonics (Phase 1).  We will also look at numbers in the environment, counting things in our classroom, counting jumps, hops steps etc.  

Story  – sometimes related to a theme or topic, sometimes just because it’s a lovely story.  We read for pleasure and I try my best not to talk during the book and save questions and explanations for the end or if we read it again.

Home Time – we wash our hands, get our own coats and try and put them on (this is something that you could work on at home too), get our bags, water bottles and any things we have in our trays. We sit back on the carpet and sing songs until we get collected.  

Once a week we do yoga and we all take our shoes off, it’s rather stinky!  We use Cosmic Kids and love it.  Afterwards we all try to put our shoes back on independently (again this is something you could practice at home).  

If you haven’t managed to get onto the Seesaw Family App – please let me know so I can help you, it’s a brilliant way for you to show us what your child has been doing at home and also a quick way for us to communicate with you.

Learning from Home Support

8th January 2021Natalie Jewitt

There has been lots on social media about using games consoles to access home learning and our friends at ICT in Schools, who are based at The Word in South Shields, have produced this brilliant guide explaining how to use them.

Download (PDF, 116KB)

Their website is also worth a look for any other support you may need with technology, or if in doubt, do what I do, I ask my youngest daughter!

WB 4th January Learning from Home

4th January 2021Natalie Jewitt

Please do not feel that you have to do any of these activities – they should hopefully be fun!  I am also very sure that you can think of your own amazing things to do too.  As always please do not hesitate to contact me via my email or on Seesaw.

If you are not on Seesaw – PLEASE get in touch with me as this is the best way  for us to communicate and for me to share work with you. 

njewitt@ashley.s-tyneside.sch.uk

Communication and Language Sit down and have a chat with your child – ask them some questions about the things they might like to do over the next few weeks.  You could write a list for your child or get them to draw their suggestions.  Please do share these with us on Seesaw.  
Physical Development Make play dough!  Or if you have some – get it out and play with it.  Great for working little fingers.  I’ll add a recipe to Seesaw.

If you don’t have these ingredients – small construction toys such as Lego are also brilliant.  We’d love to see some photos of your creations.  Why not have a theme and each day build something that links with your theme e.g. superheroes. vehicles, food, houses! 

We also have a yoga session once a week and use videos from Cosmic Kids:  https://www.youtube.com/user/CosmicKidsYoga  

Personal, Social and Emotional Development Play some games – or do a jigsaw.  This is really important to promote turn taking.
Literacy Sounds like

Mystery bags – have objects hidden in a bag or a box.  Ask your child to pull an object out.  Really emphasise initial sound, ask the children if they can think of other things with the same initial sound.  Repeat.  

Mathematics Working on the number 5.  

I will put the rhymes we have been using on Seesaw 🙂

You can also watch Numberblocks too:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b08bzfnh/numberblocks?seriesId=b08bzg8q 

Understanding the World If you can – go for a walk and encourage your child to look at the world around them.  See if there are any natural materials you can collect, you could bring them home and make a picture with them.  You could also let your child take some photos to add to Seesaw – they could add a voice recording to talk about what they have taken the picture of.  Encourage your child to look closely at trees and plants, if you can find any animals even better.  
Expressive Arts and Design We love using Go Noodle in class and we all have our favourite songs and dances.  See which ones your child likes and see if they can find some new ones – let me know if there are any good ones!  

https://www.gonoodle.com/ 

Your child can also access  Purple Mash and Education City at home with the log on details which have been sent out before – if you have lost them, do not panic, just email me and I can sort them out. 🙂 

Most of all – try and have fun!  I know it will be hard, last lockdown I had a puppy, two kids and a husband at home so there will be tough times but do not hesitate to get in touch and either I will get back to you or Mrs Brown or Miss Thompkins will.

Lastly – this is the link to the tidy up tune:  https://youtu.be/e4cczzBsmZ4 it may come in handy.  

Take care – Mrs Jewitt

Any families self-isolating may find some useful information from our friends at The Openzone:

 

Remote Learning Information

Google Classroom

3rd October 2020Natalie Jewitt

As a school we use the Google Suite for Education to help us in school and out of school.  After experiencing remote learning before the summer holidays we have all worked hard to embrace new technologies.

We would like to remind children (and parents) that when you are logged onto our school website and using the tools which are available to you that it is solely for school work.

Conversations should be related to school and work which you have been asked to do by your teachers.

It is an amazing tool and should be used with respect.

Here is a link to some You Tube videos which may help when using Google.

Tech Toolkit for Families and Guardians 

As always our school website has advice and links for all technology related issues in the e-safety tab.

Responsible Computer and Internet Use

At Ashley Primary School we use school computers and internet access for learning. The following rules will help us to keep everyone safe when using this technology.

* On the school network, I will only use my own login and password which I will keep a secret at all times.

* I will not look at, or delete other people’s files.

* I will not bring external memory drives or USB Memory Sticks into school without permission and will not use these on school machines.

* I will ask permission before entering any website, unless my teacher has already approved the site.

* When using the school website I will only use my own login and password which I will keep a secret at all times.

* I will only email people I know, or who my teacher has approved sending them appropriate and polite messages.

* I will ask permission before opening an email or an email attachment sent by a person I do not know.

* I will not use internet chat.

* If I see anything I am unhappy with or receive messages I do not like, I will tell a teacher immediately.

* I understand the school may check my computer and email files and may monitor the internet sites I visit.

* I understand that if I deliberately break these rules, I could be stopped from using the internet and computers.

  1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAwbJ9MO91I   – Tai Chi Qigong, Shibashi, set 1

This simple to follow, gentle exercise routine is deeply relaxing and will help to improve health and wellbeing. The gentle rocking motions and stretching movements improve circulation and digestion, the chest exercises and controlled breathing are good for the lungs, and the overall effect helps reduce mental stress and physical tension carried in the muscles.  Concentrate on breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth. 

Shibashi is easy to learn, effective, and suitable for people of all ages as it doesn’t put too much stress on the muscles and joints, and it can be practiced either sitting or standing.    Find somewhere quiet and peaceful to practice, outdoors is great if the weather is nice.

 

  1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOENwWg3e2M&t=643s   – Tai Chi Qigong, set 2

As with the first set, this simple to follow, gentle exercise routine is deeply relaxing, and will help to improve health and wellbeing, reduce mental stress and any physical tension felt in the muscles.    Set 2 is a little more physically challenging than set 1, and is a great way to expand on the first set of Shibashi.  It’s a good idea to practice and master a few of the movements before moving on and practicing more of the moves.   Try to move in a slow and controlled manner, as recommended, it will help improve your balance more effectively, and also concentrate on breathing, in through the nose, and out through the mouth.    Find somewhere quiet and peaceful to practice, outdoors is great if the weather is nice.

This is an easy paced, fun, chair-based yoga workout suitable for all ages and abilities, and is simple to follow.   The instructor is friendly, and motivating, she demonstrates the moves really well, though she doesn’t offer alternative options, and the range of movement for some of the lower body exercises may be a little challenging, so it’s important just to do what you’re able to, and reduce the range if need be.   A variety of workouts on YouTube, delivered by the same instructor, and accompanied by great music tracks, so give them a try.
