• Handwriting – As well as improving our fine motor skills, we also need to be practising lots of gross motor skills (bigger movements).

All of this helps to develop co-ordination and shoulder movements, working towards better pencil control.

• Join in the Crocodile Snap song 
• How many big circle arm movements can you do in 1 minute?

Handwriting, this week the letters are 'Yy,Zz,Aa and Bb’– Remember to start at the top. 

See the Seesaw video for the correct formations for all this week’s letters.  If you have finished your handwriting booklet – please practise your handwriting on lined paper. 😊

The Humpty Words of the week are – the, I, no, to 

 Can you spot these words in a reading book?

Can you write the words?

Can you think of a sentence for these words? (See if you can get a couple of the words in one sentence e.g. I went to the shop.)

Can you write your sentence?

• Writing Activity – 

Can I draw a picture and write a sentence about my favourite thing I have done during half term?

See if you can copy and finish the sentence below.

My favourite thing I have done this half term is ____________________________.

(if you are feeling extra clever you could say why it was your favourite thing too!)

Remember when you are writing to use your sound mat to find the sounds you can hear without asking your grown up. Use your finger spaces, capital letters and full stops. There is so much to remember Reception! 😊

Maths – 

• Counting Practice – Can I count from a different starting point than 1 to a given number, see examples below. Using your numberline to help if needed.

Can I count out loud from 5 until 30?

Can I count out loud from 7 to 23?

• Consolidation – In Reception we need to revisit and rehearse all number facts to secure understanding.

Can I revisit the number 6? (See the sheet attached.)

Can I revisit my number facts to 3 using the PowerPoint? (View in slideshow.)

• Main Focus – This half term we are beginning to recognise our teen numbers and understand that our teen numbers are 10 and some more.

Can I watch the number blocks video? 

Can I use the numicon flash cards attached to help me recognise the amounts?

Can I match my own number cards from my resource pack to the numicon numbers?

Topic Time

• RE – We are now in the period of Lent, which started on Ash Wednesday.

What is Lent? - BBC Bitesize – Have a watch of the video to explain what Lent is 😊

Lent is the period of six weeks (40 days not including Sundays) leading up to Easter, the most important festival in the Christian calendar.

Lent starts on Ash Wednesday. The last week of Lent is called Holy Week.

What is the story of Lent?

Jesus went into the desert to fast and pray before beginning his work for God. Jesus was tempted several times by Satan, but was able to resist.

Lent allows Christians to remember Jesus' fasting in the desert. It is a time of giving things up and a test of self-discipline. Some Christians just give up something they really enjoy, such as cakes or chocolate.

Activity - During Lent we make promises either to show kindness everyday to help others, to do something extra or to give up something like sweets and chocolate.

What is your promise for Lent this year?

Can I draw a picture on the leaf attached and ask my grown up to scribe on my promise?

Miss Collinson’s promise this year is to give up eating crisps and to walk 10 thousand steps everyday! 😊
