Wednesday 20/1/21

Good morning Reception, 
Here is your learning for today:
​

• Reading: Read a book on Myon or read one of your own books.  www.myon.co.uk/index.html
• Maths:  Keep practising counting to 20.  If you are confident counting to 20, keep counting and see how far you can go.  
• Writing:  Use these high frequency words to write the following sentence:                                   We went to ....

Use your sounds to complete the sentence. e.g We went to the bech.  (beach)    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.  You can write more than one sentence if you want to.  

• Do some exercise: Play the beans game.  
  Call out one of the names of the beans then move in the way described below. 
  RUNNER BEAN - run on the spot
  JUMPING BEAN - jump up and down
  BROAD BEAN - stretch your arms and legs out to make a wide shape
  BAKED BEAN - lie down on the floor
  JELLY BEAN - wobble your body like it's jelly
  FROZEN BEAN - stand still like a statue
  STRING BEAN - legs together, reach your arms above your head, make yourself as thin as possible
• Keep talking - Talk in full sentences.  Tell someone the story of 'Owl Babies' in your own words. Use your owl puppets you made on Monday.

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?  

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

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"
