Reception Learning from Home Thursday 16th July

Good morning Reception. It’s our last day doing home learning as a class today. Tomorrow being the final day of the year before the summer holidays, we will be working together (virtually of course) as a whole school to complete some activities and celebrate the year. Make sure that you check the class blog tomorrow for all of the photos from the week and a final “Good-bye” from the Reception Team

I hope that you enjoy the final day working as part of the Reception Class, very soon you will be in Year 1 (Isn’t it exciting!!!. I bet you can’t wait - I know Miss Lane is super excited and can’t stop talking about how great you were last week.)

Today’s Learning Activities:

English - Traditional Tales

Watch the story The Three Billy Goats Gruff

Can you answer these questions? Who went over the bridge first, next, last? Where were they going? Why? What did the troll say? What happened to the troll? What happened to the billy goats?

Can you make a bridge? You might want to use Lego or other construction toys. Then using your toys or teddies can you act out the story?

Maybe you could use different voices for the different characters. Have fun!

White Rose Maths

Lesson 4 w/b 29th June

Have a look at today’s activity. I hope that you are good at dancing!!! Don’t forget to make a list of which songs you will play 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. Think about your moves and have fun!

Reading

Make sure that you keep up with your reading during the summer holidays. Have you signed up for the library summer reading challenge yet? If you haven’t why not sign up for it now and see if you can read lots of books during the summer and complete the challenge. It’s great fun and it will get your ready for Year 1 too. Your grown ups will need to sign up for you using their email address.

Maybe you could have a look at the list of books that I have made a link to on the button below and see how many of them you have read. This will really help you with you work when you get into Year 1 next year.

(Challenge - can you tick them all off before the end of the summer???)

PE

Remember it’s really important to keep active. Think about what you can do today to keep active. Maybe you want to have a go at something you are good at because you enjoy doing it. Or maybe you know there is something that you would like to get better at and need a bit of practise with. Maybe you would like to have a go at more than one thing! You choose!

I hope that you have a super day.

Don’t forget to send me some photos of what you have been doing.

Reception Learning from Home Wednesday 15th July 2020

Good morning children. It’s our last Wonderful Wednesday of the school year - Can you think of 3 wonderful things about your time in Reception?

Today’s Learning Activities:

English - Traditional Tales

Watch and enjoy the story of Jack and the Beanstalk

Discuss the story and see if you can answer these questions: What did Jack swap for the cow? What was special about the beans? Who lived at the top of the beanstalk? How did Jack escape the Giant?

Do you really think that if you planted beans like in the story, they would grow overnight?

Have you ever grown anything before? I know some of you have been growing things during lockdown.

Look at CBeebies: How Does Your Garden Grow? for some advice and ideas about growing plants at home. (Why not plant some seeds which sprout quickly to maintain the children’s interest.)

Maybe you could make a quick-growing cress head like in Mr Bloom’s nursery:

If you don’t have any seeds are available, maybe you could grow leftover vegetable scraps to use in salads.

White Rose Maths

Look at Lesson 3 w/b 29th June

Today we are going to look at the story of Oliver’s Vegetables again. Oliver has been planting vegetables with his grandad. Can you help him to work out his problems? Then help him to sort his vegetables and say how he sorted them.

Learning Characters

At school we have 8 learning characters that help us to focus on what we need to do to grow our brains. Can you remember them all? (Cooper Crab, Sadie Spider, Roger Robin, Tommy Turtle, Clara Clownfish, Lizzie Ladybird, Kiki Chameleon and of course enthusiastic Bobby Bee)

Can you draw a picture of each of the learning characters and think about how you can be more like them?During the summer holidays can you try to do things that help you to grow more like each of them?

Have fun and think how you can continue to grow your brain - you might want to set yourself a challenge and see if you can achieve it before the end of the holidays. (Learn how to ride your bike, learn how to climb to the top of the climbing frame or go across the monkey bars, learn how to tie your shoe laces, be able to count to 100, or count in 2s or know your address. These are just some examples of things that you might want to do but I’m sure you could think of your own. )

PE

Remember it’s really important to keep active. Think about what you can do today to keep active. Maybe you want to have a go at something you are good at because you enjoy doing it. Or maybe you know there is something that you would like to get better at and need a bit of practise with. Maybe you would like to have a go at more than one thing! You choose!

I hope that you have a super day.
Don’t forget to send me some photos of what you have been doing. (Please send all photos by lunchtime tomorrow so that I can make them into a little photo movie. Thank you)

Reception Learning from Home Tuesday 14th July

Good morning children. It’s Terrific Tuesday again - try to do some terrific work today. Can you be a Bobby Bee?

Today’s Learning Activities:

English - Traditional Tales

Read and enjoy the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears: or you may have your own version to share together.

Then have a go at answering the questions

What happened when Goldilocks ate Baby Bear’s porridge?  How do you think she felt when she broke Baby Bear’s chair? What happened when she fell asleep in Baby Bear’s bed? How do you think the three bears felt when they saw everything that Goldilocks had done? How might Goldilocks have felt when she got home and thought about her behaviour?

Can you write a letter from Goldilocks to the three bears to say sorry? What will she write? Remember to use your phonics to help with your sounding out and spelling.

White Rose Maths

Lesson 2 w/b 29th June

Today we are going to look at the story of Oliver’s Fruit Salad. Can you play the game - I went to the market and bought …? (I love playing this game - whenever I play it I always like to create pictures in my head and I find that it helps me to remember. Maybe it will help you too!) Then can you look at the pictures and ask and answer some questions? Have fun!

Postcard

You have been in Reception since last September and you have grown so much and learned such a lot. Think about what it was like to start at school. Were you excited or were you a little bit worried and scared? When the new Reception children come into school in September some of them might be a bit worried and not know what to do.

Can you use Purple Mash and write them a postcard to tell them how wonderful it is in Reception and to tell them not to worry?

PE

Remember it’s really important to keep active. Think about what you can do today to keep active. Maybe you want to have a go at something you are good at because you enjoy doing it.

Reception Home Learning Monday 13th July

Good morning Reception . It a marvellous Monday again today. Try to be marvellous in everything that you do!

It’s so lovely to be with you all again for our final week in school.  I can hardly believe that you have come to the end of your Reception year and are ready for Year 1 - time seems to have flown by! But then again, I know that you have worked really hard this year and even though things have been very strange for us all, you have been great learners and wanted to keep growing your brains. Well done!

I might not have been looking after your learning for very long but I do know that I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you and watching you learn new things and I also know that Miss Bassett is so proud of you all and how much you have learned.

I hope that you enjoyed last week, getting to know your new teacher Miss Lane. I know that she really enjoyed hearing from you and finding out all about you all.  She is so excited to be teaching you all in September.

We have just 4 days of class learning this week and then on Friday we have our final day of the year working together as a whole school to say “good-bye” before we start our summer holidays.

Today’s Learning Activities:

English - Traditional Tales

Watch and enjoy The Gingerbread Man, read by Julie Walters:

Discuss the story with your grown up. Can you answer these questions?

Who baked the gingerbread man? What did the gingerbread man shout each time he escaped from someone? How did the sly old fox trick the gingerbread man?

Can you write a list of all the people and animals that the gingerbread man escaped from? (Remember to sound out each word carefully)

Can you draw pictures of them in the order that they appear in the story?

White Rose Maths

Lesson 1 Week 10 w/c 29th June

This week we are going to look at the story of Oliver’s Vegetables. I know quite a few of you have been busy growing vegetables at home during lockdown and I’ve been looking at all of the photos that you have in, you are looking after them really carefully and will soon be eating lots of delicious things that you have grown. Have a look what Oliver has been up to and see if you can help him with his maths work. Maybe you could use the border that you create in the next activity.

Memories

Have a think about all of the things that you have done during your time in Reception. Talk to your grown up about what you have done. What did you enjoy doing the most?

I would like you to draw a picture and write a sentence or two about your favourite memory of being in Reception Class. (Remember to sound out carefully when you are writing.)

PE

Remember it’s really important to keep active. Think about what you can do today to keep active. Maybe you want to have a go at something you are good at because you enjoy doing it.

Discuss how you would feel if there was a monster in one of your books. How would you try and get it out? How would you feel? How do you think the monster felt when you were trying to tickle him or shake him out? Once the monster was out of the book, why do you think you needed to get him back into the book? How do you think he felt when he was allowed back into the book at the end? What do you think he might say at this point?

3. RE:

Today I would like you to think about Church.

Remember last week when you drew a picture of your Church? Then you thought about the things that are inside the Church. Today I would like you to think about a very special place in Church. It is the place where we keep Jesus. Have a look at the pictures:

Do you know what this place is called? It is called the Tabernacle. When Jesus is inside the Tabernacle there is a red light which glows to show that Jesus is there. Have you seen the Tabernacle and the red light in Church? Look on the photo of Our Lady’s Church and see if you can spot them. (You might need to zoom in!)

Can you draw a Tabernacle? Maybe you could put flaps on the paper before you draw your Tabernacle so that then you open the flaps (the door) you can see Jesus inside.

Write a sentence about the Tabernacle.

Remember to sound out carefully when you are writing.

I hope that you have a lovely day!

Take care and stay safe,
