Hello again Reception,
Well done for working so hard again this week!
It has......
Phonics: This is the last lesson looking at words ending in s. Watch the video and join in with Josh. You will also need some paper and a pencil to write with.
Writing: Keep practising 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 some more letters from the zig zag family. We have practised these before. They are a bit tricky.
Literacy: Enjoy your last day of making up a story. You don't need to draw or write anything. Just tell a story.
Find different ways to make 8. You could draw a ladybird like the one below or get two plates. Get 8 buttons or pennies. Find different ways to make 8. Practise saying what you have made - eg 7 and 1 make 8 altogether, 6 and 2 make 8 altogether etc Did you find them all?
Well done for working so hard again this week. You are doing so well. Do something you enjoy on your own or with your family - do some junk modelling (make something out of old cereal or tissue boxes or anything you might recycle), go outside for a walk, do a puzzle, play with your toys, do some cooking, draw a picture, dance to some music.
Good morning Reception,
I hope you are still keeping safe and well. Here is your learning for today:

Phonics: We are still looking at words ending in s. Watch the video and join in with Josh. You will also need some paper and a pencil to write with.
Writing: Keep practising 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 start practising zig zag letters. We have practised these letters before. Go over the zig zag pattern first before you trace the letters.
Literacy: Here is a new idea for a story that you can make up. You don't need to draw or write anything. Just tell the story.
How can you make 7? Draw a rectangle domino shape on paper. Or get 2 separate plates. Get 7 buttons or pennies. Move the buttons or pennies to both sides of the domino or onto each plate to make 7 in different ways. Have you found all the possible ways?
R.E. Last week we looked at the Presentation story from the Bible. Can you remember any parts of the story? Who took Jesus to the temple? (Mary and Joseph) Who did they meet when they got there? (Anna and Simeon)
Can you remember what Simeon said about Jesus? He said Jesus is the Light of the World. Make a cardboard candle out of a toilet roll or paper towel roll. Decorate the toilet roll. Cut out some flame shapes from paper and colour them in orange, or you could use orange paper or tissue paper if you have any. Stick them to the top of the toilet roll. You could write the word Jesus down the front of the candle. Display the candle in a special place. It reminds us that Jesus is a very important light in our lives and in our hearts.
Good morning Reception,

Go on a hunt for 6. Find groups of 6 objects. Think about how they are arranged. 3 and 3 or 4 and 2 or 5 and 1. Then see if you can find the numeral 6 anywhere. A clock, a playing card, a door number. You could also listen to the story 'Six Dinner Sid'. see the video below. How many times is 6 mentioned in the story?
Did you look at any of the webcams from the zoo yesterday? Which animals did you see?
Do you know the story 'Dear Zoo' by Rod Campbell? It is all about searching for a new pet by writing to the zoo to ask for one. If you could have any pet from a zoo what would it be? What would you ask for? The story goes - I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet. They sent me a ...... Draw a picture of what you would ask the zoo for. Can you write the animal's name underneath? Find out any information you can about the animal - What does it eat? Where does it live? How does it move? What are its babies called?

There are lots of actions to join in with when you are listening.
Find an empty matchbox if you have one but don't worry if you don't. Any small box or container will do. Think about what will and won't fit inside your box/container. Try to say why something won't fit e.g It won't fit because it is too long/ too large. How many things can you fit in your box/container. Count them. Did you fit more than 12? In 'This is Owl' there was a baby owl. Do you know what a baby owl is called? It is called an owlet. Watch the video below to find out the names of some baby animals. How many did you know already? Did any surprise you? Log on to Purple Mash - I have pinned a topic called Baby Animals to the top of your screen. Click on the picture of the baby chick to explore the activities about baby animals.
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.

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.
Good morning Reception,
I hope you are having a good week. Well done to all of you for working so hard on your remote learning. It is not easy but I can see you are trying your best! You are learning new things every day. It is fantastic to see how much work you are doing on Purple Mash. I check your trays regularly and I can see how much work you are doing. It is great to see how you are using Purple Mash to show me the work you are doing from this blog. Keep it up! Here is your learning for today:
Phonics: Keep practising the sounds we have learned and blending those sounds to make words. Watch the video and join in with Rachel. Today you will also need some paper and a pencil to write with.
Writing: Keep practising 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 some more letters from the curly caterpillar family.
Literacy: Today we are going to draw the end of our story maps today. See the video below for today's lesson.
Have a go at filling different size cups or containers with water. Can you make a cup full? How do you make it empty? How many full cups of water would fill a jug? Can you fill a cup so it is nearly empty? Can you tell when a glass is nearly full? Remember to talk about what you notice. e.g This glass is full. This glass is nearly empty.
R.E. Look at the picture below. It is showing an important story from the Bible called The Presentation story. Mary and Joseph took Jesus to the Temple.
Here is the story to share while you are looking at the picture. Mary and Joseph took baby Jesus to the Temple in Jerusalem. They wanted to present him to God and thank God for giving them their lovely boy. Whilst they were there they met two people, Simeon and Anna. They went to the Temple every day to pray. Simeon took Jesus in his arms and gave thanks to God. He said a prayer over Jesus and blessed Mary and Joseph. He said Jesus was like a light to help people. Anna was delighted to see Jesus and gave thanks to God for him. Afterwards Mary and Joseph took Jesus home to Nazareth. Now, think about these questions. Can you talk about the answer in a full sentence?
Hello Reception,
I hope you are well. It's lovely seeing all your work on Purple Mash. Well done! Here is some fabulous colour work from Marcell, Camilla, Malachi, Gabriel and Zuzanna.
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.
Writing: It is important to keep practising 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 letters from the curly caterpillar family. Can you see Curly Caterpillar? Try going over him first before you write the letters. We have done these letters before - can you do them even better this time?
Literacy: We are going to draw some more of our own story maps today. See the video below for today's lesson.
Compare the mass of two objects to see which is heavier or lighter. You could hold the objects in your hands to feel which is heavy or light. You could make your own balance scales using a coat hanger and buckets/plastic cups/yoghurt pots/boxes/bags, then place the coat hanger on a door knob (see pictures below) or play this interactive game from Nrich called Seesaw Shenanigans to see which woodland animals are heavy or light. nrich.maths.org/14796
Remember to talk about which is heavier or lighter - The apple is heavier than the grape. The lego figure is lighter than the teddy. Try to predict which is heavier or lighter before you weigh them.
Did you know that you can use your body to make music? Have a go at the activities below to make music using only your body. Can you make up your own?
Good morning Reception,
I hope you are all keeping well - and warm! It is very cold at the moment! Here is your learning for today:
Use your sounds and/or high frequency words to complete the sentences. e.g We are going to the shop. We are going to hav (have) lunch. Remember it is ok to only write the sounds you hear. It doesn't have to be spelled correctly. 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.
Phonics: The next five lessons are review lessons. It is important to keep practising the sounds you have learned and blending sounds to make words. (Blending just means putting sounds together). There will only be one video for phonics from now on. Watch the video and join in with Rachel.
Writing: Keep practising 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 will practise some more letters from the ladder letters family.
Literacy: See the video below for today's lesson.
Get 5 toys and a bucket or box. The toys can be anything that fits in the bucket or box. Give some objects to someone in your house and hide some in the bucket/box. How many objects can you see? How many are hidden? How many objects are there altogether?
From all the colours you looked for yesterday, which is your favourite? Maybe it is a different colour that was not on the chart.
Make a colour collage of your favourite colour. There are lots of ways to do this - you could find lots of bits and pieces of things that are one colour and glue them onto a piece of paper. If you haven't got any glue, you could collect lots of objects in your house that are the same colour, arrange them and take a photo. Below are some ideas for inspiration - you can be as creative as you like! There is no right or wrong way to do it.
Hello Reception,
I hope you are all keeping well and had a good weekend. Did you see the snow? Maybe you were lucky enough to go out in it! Eiyden, I can see you have been working very hard on your writing and your numbers. You are doing so well! Keep it up! Alfie, I was so pleased to see how much you have improved writing your name. Well done! Paolo, how lovely to see that you did some special baking for St Agnes day!
Here is your learning for today:
Use your sounds and/or high frequency words to complete the sentences. e.g He is a quit boy. (He is a quiet boy.) She is sing. (She is singing.) Remember it is ok to only write the sounds you hear. It doesn't have to be spelled correctly. 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.
Phonics: Today's lesson is a review of last week's sounds that you learned.
Now practise your reading.
Writing: Keep practising 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 will practise some letters we have learned already. These are called ladder letters. Go up and down the ladder first, before you practise the letters. You could make some words using the letters - it, ill, till, lit, tilt.
Literacy: See the video below for what to do today.
For the next part, you will need 5 objects and a box or a bag. Choose a number of objects. How many objects do you have altogether? (e.g 4) Hide some objects in the box or bag. (e.g hide 2 objects). How many objects can you see? (e.g 2) How many objects must be hiding in the box/bag? (2 )
Go on a colour hunt in your house. Can you find something that is each of the colours below?
Draw what you find for each colour. Can you find anything else that is a different colour that is not on the sheet? e.g brown Can you say whether they are a dark or light colour? e.g light or dark green |
