Good morning Reception.

 We have been blown away by all  of your work this week so far. It is wonderful to see so many of you keeping your learning practical and fun! 

This week,  we are celebrating 'Children's Mental Health Week.' There will be activities throughout the week to have a go at.

Today, have a watch of this video.

It’s Ok (Please just say)

Literacy

• Reading – Try to read for 10 minutes each day. 😊

See the reading question prompts attached on Monday's Blog to help you talk about your stories. 

Reminders – Please contact the school office if you would like to change your reading book.

• Phonics – Please recap all of the sounds we have learnt so far and the new digraphs & trigraphs. (It is important for Reception to consolidate their sound recognition for all of the sounds.)

Our new sounds - ch, sh, th, ng, qu, ai, ee, oa, igh, oo

I have attached some different ideas to make it more practical and keep it interesting for you. (You can use these more than once.)

Please see Seesaw for today’s phonics writing activity. 

• Handwriting – Join in the 'Crocodile Snap Song' to help strengthen your fine motor skills, this will help with the correct pencil grip. 

 (See Seesaw for the video explaining the correct pencil grip.)

Have a go at the next page in your booklet, which is all about the letter 'Ss.' 

The Humpty Words of the week are - be, were, was, said

Can you have a mini spellings check?

See if you can write all your humpty words that we have been practising at home.

'the, to, no, I, go, into, you, he, we, she, all, they, my, her, are, me'

Don’t forget to spot these words in your reading books too!

• Acting Activity - This week we are reading ‘The Little Red Hen.’

Let’s warm up with our story & song - Join in with the story telling today as this will be your main activity. (It is important for your child to know the story inside out, to help with their writing next week.)

 Today, we are going to be story tellers –

Can I act out the full story of 'The little red hen' ?

Can I use actions to help me?

Can I change my voice for the different characters?

Can I use some of the new vocabulary we have been looking at this week?

If you feel confident enough to record this, it would be lovely to hear you all acting out the story at home.

Maths – 

• Counting Practice – Can I count back from 20 to 0 in 1’s? (Using my number line to point to the numbers as I count.)

Can I count in 5’s?

Can I count from 0 to 50 using my 5’s?

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

Can I revisit the number 1?

Can I use the picture to talk about the number 5?

(See the sheets attached.)

Can I complete and discuss the different shape patterns? (Try level 1 to begin with.) 

• Main Focus - Watch the White Rose Maths video and have a go at the activity attached. (Session 5 – numbers to 10 bingo.)

Topic Time

• KUW – Can I look at and talk about different types of bread? Can I make my own salt dough bread? (This is not for eating – see attached for instructions.)
