Draw boxes to help you tell your story. We would love to hear some of your story ideas. If you would like to share them please email [email protected] with your child's name and Reception as the subject line. Counting: Play 'Don't say 20'. This is a game for 2 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.

If you go out on a walk, can you find 11 anywhere? Tuesday: This week we are going to look at time. Order of the day: Can you say the days of the week in order? Think about what you do during the day e.g First I get out of bed. Next I have breakfast. Then I brush my teeth. After brushing, I do an activity - maybe phonics, or counting, going outside for a walk. Then it's lunchtime. Next, I do another activity - maybe reading, building or playing. After that, I have my dinner. Then it's bathtime. Finally at night-time, it's time to go to bed. Talk to someone in your house about what you do during the day. Try to use the key words - First, next, then, after that, finally. What do you do in the morning? What do you do in the afternoon? What happens at night-time? Use the cards below or make up your own. Can you use them to order your day? Wednesday: This week we are looking at time. Days of the week: Learn this song about the days of the week. http://www.seetospell.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Days-of-the-Week-Song-Starting-with-Monday.pdf It is sung to the tune of the Addams Family. Which days make up the weekend? Which days are the weekdays? What day is it today? Can you put the days of the week in order? Thursday: This week we are looking at time. Months of the year: Listen to this song called 'Time for another year.' https://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/songs/time-another-year The song mentions different seasons. Do you know what the four seasons are? Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. Winter is in December, January and February. Spring is March, April and May. Summer is June, July and August. Autumn is September, October and November. Now we are in June - which season are we in? Think about what the weather is like in each season. Look in your wardrobe - What would you wear in the winter when it's cold? What would you wear in summer when it's warmer? What happens to the trees during Spring? What happens to them in Autumn? Friday: This week we are looking at time. Measuring time in simple ways. You will need a timer - mobile phones have a timer or you might have one in the kitchen. You will need one with seconds. How many hops/skips/jumps can you do in 15 seconds? Did it feel like a long or short time? Try again - how many hops/skips/jumps can you do in 30 seconds? 30 seconds is double 15 seconds. Did it feel longer or shorter than before? Now, how many hops/skips/jumps can you do in 1 minute? Did it feel like a very long time? Get your coat/jacket. How long does it take you to put it on? Time yourself. Try again, can you do it quicker the second time? Time yourself tidying up your toys? How long does it take you? What else can you time yourself doing? Challenge: Spending all this time at home means that sometimes we get bored.
Watch this lesson from Oak National Academy. https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/bored Enjoy the story 'Whatever Next' by Jill Murphy.

Dear Jesus, Thank you for loving me. Amen
Maths: Every day practise writing your numbers from 0 - 10. Remember to always start at the top. This week make a weather chart - it could look something like this: Each day record what the weather is like on the chart. Draw a sun if it's sunny, a cloud if it's cloudy, rain if it's rainy. Discuss the days of the week, say them in order, link to yesterday, today and tomorrow, such as: What day is it today? What is the weather like? What day was it yesterday? What was the weather like yesterday? What day will it be tomorrow? What do you think the weather will be like tomorrow? At the end of the week, count how many sunny, rainy, windy, cloudy days there have been. Challenge: Could we have 8 cloudy days in one week? Challenge:
The next time it rains, go out puddle jumping with a grown-up. Put on your wellies and jump in the puddles. What words would you use to describe the puddles? What sounds can you hear when you jump in them? |
