Thursday’s learning activities for Reception

Good Morning!

Hope you’re all well.

Continuing with our subtracting theme this week, here’s a few different ideas for practical ways to subtract – as always, please use what’s available to you 🙂

Thurs 30th AprilUsing Quantities and Objects They Subtract Two Single-Digit Numbers

The phonics can be done on the screen – reading the words aloud. Please support your child with the reading of the digraphs in the words, e.g.  down: d-ow-n, sheep: sh–ee-p, road: r-oa-d.

Continue to send us the lovely photos of the fun, family things you’re doing too – we’ve loved seeing the pictures of dog walking, cycling, making salt dough, baking, gardening and painting, thank you!

Keep smiling,

Mrs Casswell & Mrs Geran.

Tuesday’s activities for Reception

Good Morning,

The Department for Education have created daily ‘Letters and Sounds’ lessons on YouTube. So for today’s challenge, your child could watch and join in with this…

For Maths, please choose a couple of the ‘halving’ problems attached. You can amend them to go with whatever resources you’ve got 🙂

Monday’s challenges…

Hello!

Hope everyone’s had a good weekend.

We thought we’d post some work ideas for tomorrow and apologise now if we don’t respond very quickly to any seesaw messages you may send – we’re actually in school tomorrow, looking after the children of our key workers.

As always, we’ll put ideas for phonics and maths, but we equally love seeing photos/videos of the different things you’re doing to keep busy in these uncertain times.

Please look at the Seesaw account for tomorrow’s daily story – Mrs Casswell’s class have ‘Duck in the Truck’ – read by Mrs Wust 🙂

Stay safe everyone,

Mrs Casswell & Mrs Geran xx

Ideas for activities today…

It’s Friday! And how lucky are we, the sun’s still shining!!!

Thank you for all of the photos/videos sent on Seesaw this week – as always, they’re lovely to see and keeping us sane.

Here are some work ideas for today…

Fri 24 phonics ph 3

Phonics – see if your child can remember the digraphs – you can either print it, write it, or just say it from the screen. For the handwriting section, it can be written in mud/sand/stones/on paper. Try to help your child say all the sounds e.g. f-i-sh/th-u-mb/ch-ur-ch, and blend them together to say the actual word.

maths mastery Fri 24th

Maths – use piles of socks – of 2 different colours. Practise adding using a washing line. Make it as tricky or as easy as you’d like.

Have a good weekend everybody 🙂

Reception challenges – Weds 22nd April

Good Morning!

Hope you all have a good day 🙂

Here’s some more ideas for activities to support the children to achieve the ‘Early Learning Goal’ set by the Government.

Maths – some ideas for adding – Parents, you could just read them from the screen and the children have a go at them, or use ‘real’ things to add, that you have at home e.g. leaves/stones/toys. If you’ve got resources, children could draw/write what they have added together, but doing it practically and talking about it, is perfect 🙂

Phonics – the children have been taught the sounds that ‘oo’ and ‘ng’ make in words. (Please use the Jolly Phonics song on You tube if they want to check.) Again, you don’t have to print them off, just support your child to have a go at sounding out and blending the words to read them on the screen.

Please keep sending in all the lovely photos – it’s great to keep up with all the fantastic things the children are doing at home! Another fun idea (from one of the families in Reception) is to let the children be a ‘photographer’ on your daily walk – it really helps the children look out for things and appreciate their surroundings. See if you can spot signs of Spring… Have fun!
