Reception's Home Learning Week beginning 20/4/20

Hello Reception class.  Hope you are keeping safe and well and had a Happy Easter.  Here is your learning for this week.  

Read a book or read to your child every day.  Listen to a Cbeebies bedtime story. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b00jdlm2/cbeebies-bedtime-stories
Can you act out the story?  Are there any words you recognise?  Talk about what happened. Who are the  characters? How were they feeling?  Why did they act as they did?

Do some counting every day – sing some counting songs like 1,2,3,4,5 Once I caught a fish alive or 10 green bottles, count socks and pair them up, knives and forks at the table, buttons, lego bricks, anything you can find. Can you say all the number names in order to 10?
