Good morning Reception,
I hope you enjoyed St Agnes day and were able to do something nice. Well done to Teddy C! You have really improved with your sentence writing and your letter formation. You did a great job recording the light sources in your house! Well done also to Violet. Those sentences were fantastic! You have been practising a lot I can see! Your writing has improved from the last time I saw it. Thank you for sending your work in. Here is your learning for today:
Use your sounds to complete the sentence. e.g The dog can brk. (bark) The cat can run. 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, pointing at each word as you read.
Phonics: The phoneme for today is ng
Watch this Youtube video with Josh for today's phoneme. This is a tricky sound, listen carefully to how to say it.
Now watch and join in with the reading session.
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 learn to write n and g together because it is a digraph - 2 letters that make one sound.
Literacy: Today I am going to read you another story with owls in it. It is called 'A Bit Lost' by Chris Haughton. Listen carefully because I want you to think about things that are the same and different with 'Owl Babies'. See the video below.
Now it's your turn. Draw a picture of the pond, log and grass like you saw in the video.
Next draw 5 frogs and cut them out. Put different numbers of frogs in the pond, on the log and on the grass. How many frogs are there? How many in the pond? on the log? on the grass? How many are there altogether? You could also draw 3 train carriages and use 5 lego people as passengers. Or you could draw a park with a slide, swings and a sandpit. Or a jungle with a tree, grass and vines and draw 5 jungle animals to use.
Think about all the animals that are nocturnal. Can you remember the names of any of the ones that you read about? Which one is your favourite? Why do you like it? We are going to make up a story using a different animal next week.
Choose from: a hedgehog, a fox, a mouse, a badger, a bat Draw a picture of your favourite nocturnal animal. Today is St Agnes day!!!!
St Agnes is the patron saint of our school and today is her feast day. Take a break from home learning and enjoy taking the day to do something with your family. See you tomorrow. Mrs Stapleton Good morning Reception, Here is your learning for today:
Phonics: The phoneme for today is th Watch this Youtube video with Josh for today's phoneme. Now join in with the reading session. 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 learn to write t and h together because it is a digraph - 2 letters that make one sound. Literacy: Think about how Sarah, Percy and Bill felt during the story when they realised their mother had gone. Look at the picture below and choose a word that tells how each of the baby owls were feeling. Because there are speech bubbles when we say the sentence, we say "I feel worried," said Sarah. Do you know what each of the feeling words mean? Can you act out each feeling? What does it look like?
Now get 5 small objects. They could be buttons, lego bricks, pieces of fruit - anything you can find. You also need 2 plates. Put some of the objects on one plate and the rest on the other plate. Use these sentences to describe what you are doing. I have 3 buttons on one plate and 1 button on the other plate. There are 4 buttons altogether. R.E. - Last week we talked about the Parish Family and how they celebrate together in Church.
This week, practise the prayer that the Parish Family says when they celebrate Mass together in Church - the Our Father. Say the Our Father together with your family. Practise making the Sign of the Cross at the beginning and end of the prayer "In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen" Hello again Reception, Well done again on all your hard work! It is not easy to be learning from home but I can't wait to see how much you can do when we see each other again. I was very impressed with your Maths number work from Friday and here are a couple more pieces of work linked to 'Owl Babies' from Ealan and Zuzanna. Here is your learning for today:
Use your sounds to complete the sentence. e.g Look at the cr. (car) 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. You can write more than one sentence if you want to.
Phonics: The phoneme for today is sh Watch this Youtube video with Josh for today's phoneme. Now it's time for some reading with Josh. 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 learn to write s and h together because it is a digraph - 2 letters that make one sound. Literacy: Look at the pictures below. They are pictures from the story but they are all mixed up. Can you tell the story in the correct order?
Now it's your turn to have a go at making numbers up to 5. You will need 5 teddies or any toys will do. See the activity below. Don't forget to say how many you have in each group and how many you have altogether. Yesterday we looked at light and things that make light. The opposite of light is dark. Choose one of these activities to do:
Hello Reception, I hope you had a good weekend. Just a reminder that each of these activities should only take about 15 minutes at a time and can be spread throughout the day like we do at school. You should break up your learning by doing other things e.g spending time playing with your toys or getting some exercise. Here is your learning for today:
Use your sounds to complete the sentence. e.g I go to the prk. (park) 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. You can write more than one sentence if you want to.

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 learn to write c and h together because it is a digraph - 2 letters that make one sound. Literacy: Now that you have learned the story of 'Owl Babies', make some owl puppets and retell the story to someone in your house, using them. Draw your own pictures of Sarah, Percy and Bill and cut them out. Turn them into puppets by sticking them with sellotape onto a fork or spoon. Or use the pictures below. Now it's your turn to have a go. Set up your own picnic for two then three of your own toys. Share some food (or you can pretend any objects are food) between the two then three toys. Which toy has more? Which toy has less/fewer? Do they have the same (an equal) amount? Is it fair? Last week we looked at night and day in Maths. During the day, the sun makes light but at night we have to turn lights on in our homes. What objects can you find in your house that make light? Record what you find on a piece of paper. Look below to see what light sources I found in my house. If you have a torch, shine it on a wall. What shadow shapes can you make with your fingers and hands? Put your toys in front of the torch to see their shadows. If you put the toy near the torch, does it make the shadow bigger or smaller? Now move the toy away. What happens? Good morning Reception, There has been lots of amazing work on Purple Mash. Well done! Here are Aimee and Paolo's work from Owl Babies. Kelis has been practising writing her name. Here is your learning from today.
Use your other high frequency words or letter sounds to write your own word to finish the sentence. e.g I am big. I am fiv (five). It is fine if you only write the sounds you can hear and it is not spelled exactly as it should be. This is how we learn to write. Say the sentence a few times to help you remember it. Copy the first word I, leave a finger space, copy the second word am, leave a finger space, then write the next word. Robot the word you want to write e.g f - i - v Write down each sound you hear. Don't forget to end the sentence with a full stop.
Phonics: Today's phonic session is a recap of the phonemes you have learned this week. Watch this Youtube video for today's lesson. Now for the reading. Practise reading these words. 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 pattern or letter. Next, try writing it on paper. The letters belong to the Curly Caterpillar family that q belongs to. Literacy: Watch the 'Owl Babies' Story Map part 3 video from yesterday. Keep practising say out the story along with the actions.
Now it's your turn to play the comparing numbers game. You don't need to print the cards below. You could make your own - draw pictures of up to 5 (or 10 objects) on pieces of paper or you could take the 1-5 (or up to 10) cards out of a set of playing cards and play. Remember your comparing how many. Who has more/less? Try to talk in full sentences. I have more because 5 is more than 1. I have less because 3 is less than 4. As it's Friday and you have worked hard this week, do something you enjoy on your own or with your family - play a game, play with your toys, do some cooking, draw a picture, listen to some music.
Hello again Reception,
I know it is hard not being at school, but try to keep doing the work on this blog. Well done Violet! I was so impressed by your writing - I can see you have been working very hard. It has been lovely seeing all your work on Purple Mash especially the work linked to 'Owl Babies'. Don't forget you can save your work in your tray and I can see what you have been doing. Here is some from Marcell, Poppi-Ann and Violet.
Here is your learning for today:
You could use some of your other high frequency words to finish the sentence e.g I like my dog. Or you could use your phonemes to write something you like. e.g I like jam. As always, don't forget a capital letter for the start of the sentence, finger spaces and a full stop at the end. You can write more than one sentence if you want to.
Phonics: The phoneme for today is qu
Watch this Youtube video for today's phoneme.

Literacy: Today I am going to read you the end of the story 'Owl Babies'. Then I will teach you the final part of the story map. See the videos below.
Now it's your turn to play the throwing game - You don't need to use beanbags or a hoop. You can use anything as a target to throw at like a bucket, tray or a mat. You could use small soft toys or pairs of socks rolled into a ball to throw. Don't forget to record your score each time. Can you write the digit for your score? Did you score more or less than last time? How many landed on/inside the target? How many landed outside? How many altogether?
R.E. - This week we begin our topic called 'Celebrating'. Look at the picture below. What is happening? What can you see? Point to these things in the picture - the people (we call this the Parish Family), the priest, altar servers, crucifix (Jesus body on the cross), benches, hymn books, stained glass windows, notice board, candles.
Why has the Parish Family come to church? What is the priest going to celebrate? (Mass) What other celebrations take place in church? (Baptism, Christmas, wedding etc)

Follow the direction of the arrows. Use your magic writing finger at first, don't stop writing until you finish the pattern or letter. Next, try writing it on paper. Literacy - Today, listen and read along to the story of 'Owl Babies'. Who are the characters in the story? Where does the story take place? When does the story happen? Why do they wake up at night? Why do you think the baby owls flapped and danced and bounced when they saw their mother? Can you find the words below in the story? Maths: What day is it today? What day was it yesterday? What day will it be tomorrow? Can you remember when we sang 5 currant buns at school? We got cakes and coins and some of you took turns to buy currant buns and take them away. The cakes got less but the coins got more. Can you remember why that was? Watch the video from White Rose Maths - It's the Alive in 5! Week 1 Session 1 video https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/alive-in-5-week-1/ Once you have finished watching the video, have a go at home acting out the 5 current buns song. You can use anything to represent the buns and buttons or coins to be the pennies. It has been so cold over the past week. That's because it is the season of Winter. When we go out, we put our coats, hats, scarves and gloves on. When you go out, practise getting dressed all by yourself. When you put your coat on, practise doing the zip. Can you put your gloves on by yourself? It can be tricky, but as Marissa always says, 'Practise makes perfect!' We can't wait to see how much you can do for yourself when we see each other again. |
