Blythdale Bubble 2 Home Learning

14th January 2021Liz Sanderson

 

 Home Learning

Blythdale – Bubble 2

 

Dear Parents/Carers,

As you are aware, The Dales School is having to limit the number of children attending school each day to ensure the necessary health and safety measures are in place for both children and staff to keep everyone as safe as possible.

During this time we want to do everything we can to support you and your child at home with their learning journey. Our aim is to work closely with you to provide a personalised approach to home learning so that your child can make good progress in all areas of their development.

We recognise that every family’s situation is different and hope that you and your child are able to make good use of our offer.

 

  • We will telephone you each week to discuss how we can support your child.
  • We will provide a pack of resources to support your child with their learning including a visual timetable.
  • We will share your child’s basic and life skills targets with suggestions of how they can be supported at home.
  • We will provide you with a range of resources both online and in paper based forms to supplement our planned activities.
  • We will provide three learning activities per day that cover a range of curriculum areas. These will be posted on Tapestry or included in your pack.
  • We will arrange a live Zoom session twice weekly so that your child can see and communicate with their staff team and classmates.

Our timetable will stay the same each week so that the children know what to expect. You can access the activities at times that are suited to you throughout the day and set your child’s timetables up as you see best fit.

 

Activity 1 Activity 2 Activity 3
Monday Zones of Regulation session -face to face Maths learning Story linked to theme with a task
Tuesday Cooking  with a maths focus Understanding of the world Computing -E-Safety
Wednesday Therapeutic activity

(physical)

Story linked to theme with a task Maths learning
Thursday Music session Story linked to theme with a task Access to zoom face to face session

We hope that your child will have a positive experience of learning at home. Remember sometimes you just need to stop, go outside, watch TV or play a game. There are staff available at Blythdale to talk to if you have any concerns.

 

Many thanks for your continued support

 

Liz Sanderson and the Bubble 2 team

Happy Christmas from 6B!

17th December 2020Daniel Harrison

This week the children of 6B have been doing some lovely Christmas activities including putting together their Christmas hampers, and recording Christmas messages on the iPads to send home. The children have done some great Christmas crafts like making lollystick-Santas and hanging Christmas tree decorations, as well as printing and painting to make their own sheet of wrapping paper for a gift for someone at home. The children have also learned about the story of the nativity and created their very own stained glass style windows.

From all of the children and staff in 6B, all that’s left is to say we hope you have a wonderful Christmas and we’re looking forward to seeing the children back in the new year!

6B It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

11th December 2020Daniel Harrison

We started the week off with a great visit to Plessey Woods. The children loved exploring and finding all the hidden artworks (and some not so hidden!). They’ve also learned about Stollen, a traditional fruit bread eaten in Germany around Christmas time and had a go at making their own. The children enjoyed their Christmas dinner on Thursday and have practiced their computing with the Spheros and the Kubo coding robots. Finishing off the story of Hansel and Gretel, the children have also done some writing to create fantastic ‘wanted’ posters about the witch from the story.

6B Hansel, Gretel, and the Children

4th December 2020Daniel Harrison

This week the children in 6B have been reading the story of Hansel and Gretel. They have used the zones of regulation language to talk about how the characters in the story feel and practiced their sentence writing to describe this. The children have followed instructions with lots of baking as well as their measuring skills. Thinking about the story, they have baked bread and gingerbread biscuits. They’ve been out in the garden, exploring the Christmas wonderland that staff have set up and have started to do lots of Christmas art, as well as think and talk about their own Christmas traditions.

6B A super busy week

27th November 2020Daniel Harrison

This week the children in 6B have been reading the story Pattan’s Pumpkin. They have learned a little bit about some of the areas in the book, which is set in India, and have compared pictures of the landscape there with the landscape of Northumberland. The children have written postcards to Pattan, telling him why they think he should visit Northumberland. In maths the children have been talking about times: o’clock and half past, and thinking about when they do things during the day like have breakfast, brush their teeth and go to bed, as well as some more practice recording times, using the stopwatches to record how long it takes for their friend to build a small Lego model.

The children have sculpted and painted their own version of the setting for Pattan’s Pumpkin in art and have used this to retell a scene from the story. They used the ipads with their setting to make a stop-motion video of the scene when Pattan brings the pumpkin home and it grows enormous! In science they have planted their own seeds in readiness for planting out their own vegetable garden in spring time. We have talked about individual responsibility and the children have been given their own jobs to be responsible for around the classroom.

6B Discovering Diwali

20th November 2020Daniel Harrison

This week class 6B have been finding out all about the Hindu celebration of Diwali which took place last weekend. The children have learned about the story behind it all – the story of Rama and Sita, and created their own pop-up story scenes showing the moment the demon king kidnaps princess Sita! They have found out about Diva lamps, and how it is a symbol during the festival, of light triumphing over darkness, and printed their own Rangoli patterns from recycled materials, learning how they are thought to bring luck during Diwali.

The children have also tried some traditional foods that are often eaten at Diwali, cooking their own vegetable curry and making their own coconut-square sweets. In outdoor learning the children have made their own pens and inks from natural material, and have used Google maps to find out where India is in the world and locate some famous landmarks of the country such as the Taj Mahal.

A Jam-packed week in 6B!

13th November 2020Daniel Harrison

This week 6B have been doing lots of interesting things. They have continued to learn about instructions, writing their own set for making pancakes before having a go at making a delicious pancake for themselves! They have read the story of the Giant Jam sandwich, creating storyboards and then rewriting the story in their own words. In maths, the children have continued their work about money, making shopping lists and working out the money needed to buy the items from our roleplay supermarket and in science they have made themselves a balanced, healthy snack.

As well as this, the children have learned a little about what soldiers’ lives were like in World War 1 to mark Remembrance Day, printed poppy pictures using apples and red paint, and have mixed their own saltdough to sculpt their own poppy. As well as this we have welcomed a new boy into the class and played a few getting-to-know-you games!

6B Blog

9th November 2020Daniel Harrison

This week the children in 6B have started looking at the story ‘The Giant Jam Sandwich’. They have followed instructions to make their own jam sandwich, and then created instruction booklets to help someone else make one as well. They have been finding out about money and adding up coins in our toy shop roleplay in maths, as well as finding different ways to make the same amounts with coins. In geography this week the children have been finding out about the changing weather of Autumn, creating their own weather reports and delivering them to the rest of the class. They’ve also been out in the garden practicing how to build campfires and make bonfire night treats, as well as printmaking in art to create fantastic firework pictures.
