Good morning Reception, 
It was lovely to see so many of you on the Google Meet yesterday.  It was great to talk to some of you on the phone and see some of you in school.  You are all looking very happy and it was good to hear how well you have been doing with your learning and about many of the other things you have enjoyed.  I look forward to hearing even more when we see each other next week. 
Here is your learning for today. 

• Reading: Read your favourite book or listen to a story on Myon. www.myon.co.uk/index.html
• Counting: Keep practising your counting - count to 20 forwards and backwards.  Start at different numbers than 0 or 20.  
• Writing: see below the phonics for today's writing.
• Keep active: Try these different jumping combinations.  You can do them inside or outside. 

Keep talking:  

Phonics: Watch the video below for today's phoneme.  Today's sound is 'oo' which looks the same as yesterday but it makes a short sound as in book.  You will need paper and something to write with.  

Writing:  You are going to do some writing linked to the sound 'oo'.  Write the letters that make the ‘oo’ sound.  Now write the word with 'oo' in it - book.  Then write the sentence -  Look at a book. Don't forget a capital letter to start the sentence, finger spaces between each word and a full stop at the end.  Read the sentence once you have written it.  

Literacy:  Can you remember all the characters from the story The Gruffalo?  Today draw a picture of each character.  Draw the Gruffalo, mouse, fox, owl and snake.  Cut them out and stick them on lolly sticks or pencils to make puppets.  Keep the puppets somewhere safe until tomorrow.  

Maths:  Yesterday was.....  Today is.....  Tomorrow will be....

See the activity below.  Time yourself for one minute doing different activities such as how many times you can write your name in one minute.  Think about which activities were quick and which were longer.    

In the Gruffalo, mouse made up the imaginary creature, the Gruffalo to scare the fox, owl and snake.  Make up your own imaginary creature.  Think about what it looks like - eyes, teeth, claws, body, prickles etc.  Draw your own imaginary creature using pencils, crayons, paint or Purple Mash.  Make up a name for your creature.  Tell a story involving your new character.
