home learning for week beginning 18th May



Week beginning Monday 18th May 2020

Each week we will be suggesting activities to do with your child at home. This will include a daily letters and sounds and maths activity and a weekly topic based idea too. It is up to you when you do the home learning but we would love to see how your child is getting on so please upload what you can to tapestry.
                                                                
If you have any queries or concerns please post these on tapestry and we will get back to you as quickly as we can.
Letters and Sounds:
Each day-whenever possible- we would like your child to be reading- Bug Club is great to use and also please keep practising the tricky words and sounds in their sound book.
Don’t forget to collect your rewards on Bug Club as you answer the quiz when you have finished reading the book ! 
                                                                             
We recommend using the link below for 5 Phonics lessons suitable for Reception children during the summer term. Here is an explanation about the lessons which go live each Monday.
Here are this week’s lessons:

 Our topic this term is 'Will you read me a story ?' and each week we will be learning a different traditional story. 
 Please listen to this weeks story of The Gingerbread Man which will be uploaded to tapestry ready for Monday morning.

                                    Gingerbread Man (Flip-Up Fairy Tales) by Estelle Corke http://www ...                                           
                                                           
1.     After listening to Mrs.Aspin reading the story of ' The Gingerbread Man’ on tapestry, ask your child to draw a picture of the characters in the story. Can they use their phonic skills to write labels to go with their picture ? 
2.  Can they draw a picture of their favourite part of the story and write a sentence to explain what is happening ? Ask your child to tell you the important rules when writing a good sentence. ( A sentence needs to start with a capital letter, when you write you need to remember to leave 'finger spaces' between the words, it needs to make sense and you need to remember to put a 'full stop' at the end of the sentence.)
3. Can you ask your child to draw a map of the story showing the order of events and where the Gingerbread Man went ?
                                                                                                        
4.On 'Education city' please can your child play ‘Summer River’ and ‘Surf’s Up’ games on 'English 2’.
      
                                               
On 'letterjoin'     
  can they practice the letters in the words   q u i c k     f  o x  ?
5.  Can your child help to make some gingerbread people ? When they have made them can they write the recipe and instructions they had to follow ?

     Here’s a gingerbread biscuit recipe                               
                                                           Gingerbread men recipe - BBC Food
                          
Can you child use their creative and problem-solving skills to make something for the Gingerbread man to get across the river safely ? Can they explain how they have made it and why they used the materials they used ?
                                                                                                                                                        
Maths
Timed challenges: Perhaps your child could pretend they are like the Gingerbread man and ‘Run, run as fast as they can’ around the garden or in an open space ? Decide on an area to run and using a timer find out how many times they can run around the area in 1 minute ? Can they run double the amount of times in 2 minutes ? How many times would that be ? Can they race against other members of the family ? Ask your child to think of ways to record the scores. Could they use a tally ?     ////

Please use the link for 'white rose maths' which the whole school use. There are 5 brilliant sessions each week based around a book. This week the activities focus on the story of  'Superworm’-please follow the early years link below:

The theme this week is positivity - so here is a suggestion for an activity to help your child in these uncertain times.
Make a positivity jar - write down all of the things you are grateful for or all the things you will look forward to doing once things slowly get back to normal.
