Good morning Reception,
I hope you are having a good week. You are doing really well with your learning at home.  Not long to go now until half term.  
Here is your learning for today: 

•  Reading: Enjoy a book of your own or listen to one on Myon.   www.myon.co.uk/index.html
• Counting:  Play 'Don't say 20'.  This is a game for 2 or more players.  Take turns counting to 20.  The aim of the game is NOT to say 20.  On your turn, choose to continue the count with one, two or three numbers.  Then the next player has a turn.  e.g The first player counts 1,2.  The next player could count 3 or 3, 4 or 3, 4, 5.  Keep taking turns to count until someone says 20.  The winner is the person who doesn't say 20.  
• Writing: Use your sounds to write these simple words (net, hat, pin, bed).  Look at the pictures below to see which words you are going to write.  Each time, look at the picture, say the word e.g net, say each sound in the word n - e - t  then write each of the sounds and say them as you write them n - e - t, finally say the word again - net.  Remember there will be no finger spaces between each letter because you are writing one word.  There should be no capital letters. 

• You can write a sentence or more about a picture after you have written the words.  e.g The hat is red.  Use your high frequency words and sounds like you have been doing over the last few weeks.  Don't forget a capital letter to start the sentence, finger spaces and a full stop to finish.
• Do some exercise: Try playing Top Ten - see instructions below

Keep talking:  Which one does not belong?  See image below.
Use full sentences to say which one you think does not belong.  I think number .... does not belong because.....  Ask someone you live with what they think.  You could even try saying I agree/disagree with you because ....

Phonics: Watch the phonics video below.  You will need paper and something to write with.  ​

Writing: It's time for 'pen disco'.  Practise writing the patterns while listening to music that you like. You need paper or card and something to write with.  See the video for today's pattern.  There are also a picture of the finished patterns to help you.  Enjoy!  

Literacy:   Practise your reading using the sentences below.  Look at the picture, talk about what you can see.  Are there any high frequency words you know?  Point to each word in the sentence and use your sounds to robot any words you don't know.  

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

Make another set of memory cards to play with.  Draw different representations of 6, 7 or 8 dots on paper (see the ladybirds below).  Just draw dots today, not pictures.  Cut the cards out.  Turn them over.  Turn two over at a time.  Look really carefully at the dots that you can see.  Are they the same?  Can you say why they are the same?  e.g They are both 8. Are they different?  Can you say why they are different?  e.g This one has 6 but the other one has 8.   

Make Your Own Small World
Set up an imaginative small world with mini figures (people and/or animals), building blocks, cars and your own trees and buildings made from paper and card.
