We hope you have had a lovely weekend with your family.

One more week to go until half term!

We will be ringing everyone this week to see how you are getting on and catch up with any queries you may have.  

It is Dance Week – remember to learn the dance on the Reception Class Gallery and send the video to us before Thursday dinner time. 😊

Literacy

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

Can you play 'Humpty word pairs' or 'Snap' this week?

Can you use your finger, or a lollipop stick to follow the words in your story?

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 - therefore this week we will not be learning any new sounds.)

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

Can I hear the initial sounds in the words and sort them under the correct sound? (Revisiting j,v,w,y)

Can I write a sentence about the picture? (Remember to use finger spaces, full stops, and capital letters)

Can I read the words attached?  (qu, long oo and short oo words)

See the phonics powerpoint for all of these activities. 

Have a go at any of the games on Phonics Play – Phase 2 or 3 to practise reading some different words.

Remember to use these sounds to help you with any new or trickier words in your reading book!

• Handwriting – Join in with, ‘If you’re your happy and you know it – playdough song’ to help strengthen your hands. Practising these fine motor skills, will help with your handwriting. 

Have a go at the next page in your booklet, which is all about the letter 'Tt'. – Remember to start at the top. (We say 'Down the tower, across the tower' for the lower case t.)

The Humpty Words of the week are – little, there, have, like 

Can I write these words in different colours?

Can I revisit all the Humpty words so far?

See how quickly you can write all your Humpty words that you have been practising at home.  Check the words.  How did you do?  Try really hard with any that may be tripping you up!

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

Do not forget to spot these words in your reading books too!

• Story Activity - This week we are staying with the ‘The Little Red Hen'.

Let’s recap the story with our song & recapping of the story (from Thursday)   - It is important for your child to know the story inside out, to help them with their writing.

Can I read the captions?

Can I order the pictures for the story?

Can I retell the story using my pictures and actions to help?

See the attached sheet.

Maths – 

• Counting Practice – Can I count out from 0 to 30? (in 1’s, 2’s and 5’s)

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

Can I revisit the number 2? (See sheet attached.)

Can I remember my number bonds to 5? (See sheet attached.)

• Main Focus – Can I listen to the ‘Pattern Fish’ story? Can I talk about all the different patterns I can see?

Watch the White Rose Maths video and have a go at the activity attached. (Session 4 – Pattern.) 

Topic Time

• RE – This topic is all about gathering. We thought about lots of different ways we can gather last week and why is it better when we have lots of people coming together. This week we are thinking about gathering at church.

Can I have a look at the picture attached and discuss the questions?

• PE – This week we are practising our jumping and hopping. Have a go at the following game Lilypad jumping. 

Remember to bend your knees before you jump and when you land.

*You can say bend, stretch, bend – to help you*

Cosmic Yoga – On the Farm

The story will be posted to Seesaw.

Well done to all the grown-ups who are helping you at home, they are also doing an amazing job!

Thank you to you all!
