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 week’s
story of ‘The
Gingerbread Man’
which will be uploaded to tapestry ready for Monday morning.
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
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.
