Home learning for children during the

Coronavirus outbreak

Dear Parents,

Home learning packs have been sent home following the announcement from the government that schools will be closing from Friday 20th March. I’m sure that this a very anxious time for many of you and we will ensure that we are here to support you as much as possible through the Tapestry app.
 
Included in your home learning pack are various activities for Phonics, letter formation, sentence writing and a range of practical Maths activities. We have also provided flash cards for all the phase 2 and 3 sounds that we teach in Reception. It is essential that you use these flash cards everyday like we would in school.

Remember that for learning to take place it needs to be fun! Try to keep your children in a routine and make a time for learning each day and please try to read to your child daily. A Tapestry notification with a range of websites that you may find useful will be sent to you. Please also make sure that you are following our twitter page @PlantationEYFS to keep up with school news and access resources that will be shared. 

Although school is important, please remember that you were your child’s first and most important teacher and look at the fantastic job you have done so far. Education is so much more than what is learned in the classroom. Use this time as an opportunity to do the things that you may never get to do as often as you would like. Play with your children. So much learning takes place through play. Get creative, cook together and talk. Although our children are only 4 and 5 years old, they are very aware of change and what is going on in the world around them. 

I look forward to seeing your home learning on Tapestry and all the exciting things you will be getting up to. 

Stay safe and I hope to see you all very soon.

Miss Dixon
