PE Activities
At St Oswald’s we recognise the importance of keeping children active during these difficult times. The children won’t only benefit physically but it will support mental health.
Our local School Games network and Active Derbyshire have been working together to create and publish a weekly programme of activities to support families over the next few weeks.
The weekly activities will be sport themed and include golf, football, tennis, orienteering, athletics, cricket, gymnastics, boccia, netball and badminton. All activities have been developed so everyone can have ago using equipment found in the home and in whatever space you have available. Each week we will update the class pages with the new programme for that week.

If you looking for any extra ideas you could use to support your child’s learning on a daily basis, here are just a few;
WRITING
- Spellings; continue to look at all previous spelling patterns taught in class and practice the year 1 and 2 common exception word spellings (you can find these online) also the website Phonics Play has free phased phonics resources and games from phase 2-6 just use the username:march20 and password: home
- Thinking about the last story we shared ‘Little Red Riding Hood’, can you retell the story using openers, conjunctions, adverbs and expanded noun phrases and similes? You might even produce a comic strip using speech bubbles or a story map/ journey.
- Perhaps you could create a leaflet for visitors and tourists to Ashbourne telling them about our town’s history and its important features.
- Try creating 4 sentences that link to anything you like….maybe your pet dog? For example; Question- Why do dogs pant? Command- Fetch his lead. Statement- My dog Ozzy likes to run in the park. Exclamation- How loud his bark is!
MATHS
- Finding 1/2, 1/4, 1/3, 3/4, 2/3 of shapes, objects and numbers.
- The Top Marks maths website has some great interactive maths games – addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, place value, halves and doubles, fractions and time. http://www.topmarks.co.uk
- On Corbett Maths there are videos and work sheets. https://corbettmaths.com
- BBC Bite size has good maths coverage and videos.
READING
- Continue to focus on reading fluency by reading familiar texts. Encourage children to answer questions and retrieve information as well as use inference- ideas for questions can be found on the reading section of our website.
- The author Oliver Jeffers is reading one of his book every day on his website: http://www.oliverjeffers.com/books
- You can continue to support your reading at home by using this fabulous website: http://www.oxfordowl.co.uk you can search for suitable texts using the coloured band that your child is currently reading. There are lots of books you can read with questions to answer. These are a great way to share and improve your reading skills at home. The list of the Key Stage 1 book bands in order are: pink, red, yellow, blue, green, orange, turquoise, purple, gold, white, lime.
- How fantastic Amazon are supporting and providing children everywhere with free audible books!

SCIENCE
- BBC Bite size has fun science activities.
- P.E.
Joe Wicks has his own You Tube Page and at 9am every morning he will be leading a PE Lesson you can do in your house with your children. Let’s keep as fit and active as we can during this time. - On You Tube there are also lots of free videos you can watch of children’s meditation and yoga-well worth a watch to help sooth busy minds.

Finally, more than anything else- just enjoy being together! Play games, make up new ones, talk and discuss, have debates, share stories, watch films, put on shows, act out your favourite stories, dance, sing, bake, tell jokes, get out in the garden on a bug hunt. This is a completely unexpected time (that we hopefully won’t ever have enforced upon us again!) so if your children have had enough learning it’s absolutely fine to do something fun and to make the most of the time you have together.
Stay well, take care of each other and we will see you as soon as we possibly can,
Mrs Massey, Mrs Higton and Mrs Morgan
