Reception Home Learning W/B 01/03/21

Hello Reception Children and Families!

This is our last week of online learning! I can’t wait for us all to be back together again in school from next week (8th March). Well done everyone for adapting so well to the home learning for this long! You have all done such a super job and I can’t thank you enough for your continued support. One last push now! 

As usual, Phonics, Maths and Topic are uploaded here on the website for the week.  In addition to this, for our wider curriculum subjects (R.E., P.E. and Art) there will be an activity uploaded each day to Seasaw so keep your eyes out on there for those, and also for my videos doing our daily calendar and story time!  

This week we are carrying on with our topic of “People Who Help Us” – this week focusing on postal workers and the story of “The Jolly Postman”, and also looking at dentists and builders within our classroom activities! 🙂 In Maths, we will be looking at representing the numbers 9 & 10, and their number composition, as well as numeral recognition. And we will carry on with our phonics sounds as always!

PLUS – it is World Book Day on Thursday this week! On Thursday we will be dressing up as one of our favourite story book characters with a costume or props (or both!), and we will spend Thursday off-timetable doing lots of fun World Book Day related activities. Our theme for the day and with our activities is going to be The Gingerbread Man (there isn’t a theme for dressing up – you can dress as anything you want! 🙂 I’m going to be a ladybird!). You will find out more down below and on the day.. 🙂 We will also be doing an extra Zoom call on this day at 1:30pm to so we can all see each other’s outfits and to share a story together. 

We are also performing our poems this week for our poetry festival! And the two winners will perform their poems on our celebration Zoom call on Friday! 🙂

I hope you all have a wonderful last week at home, and again, I can’t wait for us all to be back together again next week. Upload anything you do this week onto Seasaw as always! Thank you.

P.S. – Mrs. Coupe is going off on Maternity Leave starting next week the 8th March, so I’m sure you will join me in sending her lots of lovely well-wishes for her new arrival, and to say how thankful we are for all of her hard work creating fantastic phonics videos for all of the home learners! Thank you Mrs. Coupe 🙂

Topic/Literacy:

Monday: We will be thinking a bit more about postal workers who help us, and then reading the story of “The Jolly Postman”, looking at the lovely letters in the story and the envelopes! Today we will be thinking about who we might write a letter to, and start by writing an address on an envelope! (Tomorrow we will write a letter to go inside!) Loom: https://www.loom.com/share/a898ea92376246989865d3d11a50adc5

Tuesday: We will be reading the short story of “Postman Bear”, thinking again about who we might write letters to and why. We will also have a look again at some of the letters from “The Jolly Postman”! Today we will be writing a short letter to go in our envelope we made from yesterday! Our letters will be to someone at school about how we feel about coming back to school next week! And the children at school will write letters to those at home 🙂 Loom: https://www.loom.com/share/a362a0cf90334fde8001d85578685438

Here is the list of activities you can do at home today! 🙂 Final Day Activities!  There is no expectation to upload anything to Seasaw today for this.

Continuous Provision ideas for extra activity inspiration!

We will be recognising numerals to order the numbers from 1-10, and 1-20. 

We will be writing letters, envelopes, and using stamps – taking inspiration from “The Jolly Postman”.

We will be matching the pictures together to create People Who Help Us.

After thinking about going to the dentist and Dentists as people who help us, we will think about what foods are healthy and unhealthy for our teeth. We will then be drawing patterns on the teeth to show marks from eating unhealthy foods, and we will clean the marks off with a toothbrush. 

We will be thinking about builders, building sites and diggers. We will use cornflakes and sand to represent the gravel and sand that builders use on building sites.

We will practise our phonics sounds and tricky words by fishing with nets for the sounds and tricky words that are on the ping pong balls in the water!
