• 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 star jumps can you do in 1 minute?
• Can you join in with the ‘Grandma's Glasses’ song? 

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 of 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 – they, we, all, she 

 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’. 

Today we are thinking about what do astronauts wear?

There is some more information here. https://www.spacekids.co.uk/spacesuits/

Can I try wearing a pair of gardening gloves and do a fiddly job such as a jigsaw whilst wearing them? (That’s how astronauts feel!)

Can I cut out and stick together my astronaut? (Or draw one – thinking about their special space suits.)

Can I use the labels to correctly label my astronaut?

See activity Attached.

Maths – 

• Counting Practice – Can I count to 20? 

Can I count back from 20 to 0?

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

Can I revisit the number 8? (See the sheet attached.)

Can I choose 2 of the home learning pattern activities to have a go at? (See attached.)

• Main Focus – Teen Numbers

Can I watch the ordering numbers video below?

Can I complete the missing teen number activity? (See attached - You could make the given number lines with your number cards and see if your child can find the missing numbers.)

Can I use my number lines to find one more and one less than a given number? (Find the given number together, then either jump forwards or backwards along together.)
