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: 

• Reading: Share a book from Myon www.myon.co.uk/index.html or read one of your own books. 
• Counting:  Keep practising counting to 20.  Help set the table tonight before dinner.  How many knives/forks/spoons do you need?  How many do you need altogether?  
• Writing:  Use these high frequency words to write the following sentence:  

                                 Look at the ....
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.  

• Do some exercise - Try Animal Walk

Can you slither like a snake, hop like a frog, gallop like a horse, or walk like a bear on all fours?  What other animals could you pretend to be?  

• ​Keep talking - Tell someone about something you have learned today.

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?  

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

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: 

• Build a dark den with blankets, cushions and chairs.  Try to make it so you can't see any light.  Bring a torch (or the light on a mobile phone will do) and look at books using the torches.  Can you make funny faces by shining the torch on your face?  
• Go outside with an adult when it is dark.  What can you see?  What can you hear?  Do you know what any of the sounds belong to?
