Hello again Reception, 
​Here is your learning for today: 

• Reading:  Listen to today's story by scanning the QR code or clinking on the link.  It is called 'The Bumblebear'.​

• Counting: Look for shapes around your house.  Write down a tally mark (a straight line) for every one you see.  How many did you find of each shape?  Look for circles, squares, triangles and rectangles.  
• Writing: see below the phonics video for today's writing linked to the sound we are learning. 
• Do some exercise: Try this Spell out your name activity. See below

• Keep talking:  What is your favourite part of the Gruffalo story?  What didn't you like?  Once you have drawn your favourite part (see the Literacy lesson below), talk about it.  I liked it when..... because.....   I didn't like the part when..... because

Phonics:  Today's phoneme is the digraph 'oa'.  See the video below and don't forget your paper and something to write with. 

Writing:  You are going to do some writing linked to the sound 'oa'.  Write the letters that make the ‘oa’ sound.  Now write the words with 'oa' in them - goat, boat.  Then write the sentence -  A goat on a boat. 

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

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

Have a go at comparing different lengths.  See the activity below.  Don't worry if you can't make the playdough snakes, you could use different lengths of ribbon or string.  Use household objects to measure such as pasta, paper clips or pegs.  Don't forget to talk about what you notice using the key words.
