Reception: Home Learning Week beginning Monday 22nd June 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.

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 week’s story of ‘The Princess and the Pea’ which will be uploaded to tapestry ready for Monday morning.

1. After listening to Mrs Newson read the story of ' The Princess and the Pea’ 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 help your child to think of words that rhyme with ‘pea’, can you play a game to see how many words you can think of?

4.On ‘Phonics play’ please can your child play ‘Dragon’s Den’ ? https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/2/dragons-den

'Education city' please can your child play ‘Let’s Play’ game on 'English 2’.

5. On 'letterjoin'

can they practice the letters in the words ‘p r i n c e s s‘ ?

6. Can your child write a shopping list for Lily-Rose of other fruits or vegetables that she could buy instead of peas? Can your child draw and label a picture of their favourite fruit or vegetable? Perhaps your child could try a new fruit or vegetable this week and describe it. What did it taste like? Smell like? What colour was it? What does it feel like?

7. Can your child use their creative and problem-solving skills to build the castle that the princess lives in? Your child could use junk modelling materials or any other construction materials they have inside or outside the home, for example, lego etc. Once your child has built their model ask them to talk about what they have created and what all the parts of their model are. Perhaps you could upload a picture of your child’s model to tapestry?
