Talk Homework

Monday 3rd November

 

As this week most children will be watching a fireworks display, on Friday we will be writing a Safety Rules poster for other children to keep themselves safe during this time.

Please spend time discussing the following:

· the different types of fireworks e.g. rockets, Catherine wheels, sparklers and what happens when they are lit

· what to do when you are given a sparkler and when it goes out

· what to do when watching fireworks e.g. stand well back, never go near a firework if it hasn't gone off, never pick a used firework up

· Who should or is allowed to handle fireworks?

· Where should fireworks be kept?

· How can we keep our pets safe during this time?

When talking about keeping safe and thinking of safety rules encourage your child to use bossy words to start each rule for example, Never.. Keep… Don’t… Always… Hold… Stay… Stand… etc.

 

Talk Homework

Monday 6th October

 

This week we will be learning about the Jewish festival of Sukkot.

During the week the children will listen to the story of Sammy Spider’s First Sukkot, then on Friday we will be re-telling the story.

Inside, outside, upside down! Where is Sammy Spider now? Swinging on an apple, from the roof of the Shapiro family's sukkah, he is learning about the Jewish festival of Sukkot. Sammy watches carefully as Josh and his  parents build and decorate the little hut. Then as a special treat, Sammy even gets to sleep there under the stars!

If you have access to the internet below is a link to listen to the story.

Please spend time talking about:

· The events in sequence using time openers such as First, Next, Then, After that, In the evening, Finally…

· Why do they build Sukkah’s?

· The items used to build and decorate the Sukkah e.g. vibrant fruits, wooden beams…

· What is a Lulav?

· Why was Josh shaking a Lulav?
