• 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.

• How many reaches to sky can you do in 1 minute? (Using one arm then the other.)
• Can you join in with the ‘If your happy and you know it’ song? (You will need some playdough.)

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 day are – go, into, you, he 

 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.)

Can you write your sentence?

• Story this week – Our story this week is ‘Goodnight Spaceman’ 

Listen to our story first.

Can I draw all the things an astronaut needs to take with them to space? (Use the story to help you.)

Can I label some of the things I have drawn?

Maths – 

• Counting Practice – Can I count to 20? 

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

Can I revisit the number 7? (See the sheet attached.)

Can I count the dots and work out the missing numbers for my number bonds to 10? (See attached)  - Remember a number bond is two numbers that add together to make 10.

• Main Focus – Teen Numbers

Can I order my teen numbers, using my number cards?

Watch the video below – See if you can make all the teen numbers by having a group of 10 objects and adding one more each time, just like the video.  

Topic Time

• KUW –

Can I find out some information about one of our planets?

Can I draw a picture and write about a fact I have found?

Have a watch of the ‘What is Space’ video below the attachments.

To find out more information on your chosen planet, you might have to look through a space book or have a look online.

Here are a couple of other videos you might want to watch.
