Hello Reception, 
It is nearly the end of the month of January.  January has felt like a very long month for me.  Has it felt like that for you?  It is very hard not being able to see each other at school.  On Monday, it will be a different month.  Do you know what month it will be? 

Well done Aimee for all your hard work.  I loved your purple collage!  Your numbers have improved so much.   
Fantastic work Teddy C!  You are trying so hard with your writing.  Well done!
Thank you for sharing what you have been doing.

Here is your learning for today. 

• Reading: Below is a range of books read by the authors.  Just scan the QR code with your phone which will take you to a video of the story being read by the author.  Enjoy!   b3022991-52d0-4c32-a7cc-8541d88859d8.filesusr.com/ugd/df731a_aa013e5600b64869a53f13140ae40a73.pdf 

• Counting:  Keep practising your counting.  Count forwards and backwards.

• ​Writing: 
•  Use these high frequency words to write the sentences below:                                       You said....
• Use your sounds and/or high frequency words to complete the sentences. e.g You said go away.  You said come to me.  Remember it is ok to only write the sounds you hear.  As always, don't forget a capital letter for the start of the sentence, finger spaces and a full stop at the end.  Read over your sentence once you have written it.  Point to each word as you say it.   ​
• Do some exercise: Play musical bumps or musical statues - Play music.  When the music stops, freeze like a statue or bump onto the floor. ​
• Keep talking - Tell someone your story using your story map.  

Phonics: Today we are going to keep practising the sounds we have learned and blending those sounds to make words.  Watch the video and join in with Rachel. You will need some paper and something to write with. 

Writing: Practise your handwriting.  Follow the direction of the arrows.  Use your magic writing finger at first, don't stop writing until you finish the letter.  Next, try writing it on paper.  ​We are going to practise the last group of letters from the curly caterpillar family.  We have practised these letters before.  

Literacy: See the video below for today's lesson. 

Maths:  What day is it today?  What day was it yesterday? What day will it be tomorrow?

Have a go at filling three different sized containers.  Don't worry if you don't have plant pots or soil.  You could use any containers you have in your kitchen like a cup, jug, plastic lunch box. Just make sure they are three different sizes.  You could use an egg cup or a spoon to fill them.  Instead of soil you could use rice, flour or water.  Which container is smallest or largest?  Compare two of the containers and say which is smaller or larger? Which container holds the most?  Which holds the least?  

Well done for working very hard this week!  Do something you enjoy on your own or with your family -  go outside for a walk, play a game, play with your toys, do some cooking, draw a picture, listen to some music.
