Firstly, I hope that you all had a lovely Easter break, celebrating this very special time as a family. Today marks the start of our final term in Reception, the year is whizzing by! I hope that you enjoy today’s home learning. Don’t forget the Lego challenge too– I know that lots of you are enjoying this!
1. PE with Joe Wicks—A great way to keep active some point today. (https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1/videos )
2. Phonics: Please keep practising any of the sounds you know that your child struggles with.
3. Oxford Owl: Login to Oxford Owl and read your next book. Remember to discuss the story throughout, checking your child’s understanding. Please make a note of any sounds or tricky words that your child struggles with and focus on these throughout the next few days/until they know them.
4. Purple Mash: Today and tomorrow I would like you to create a picture about Easter. This could be part of the Easter story. What you did to celebrate Easter. Or even the whole Easter story. You can create as many as you would like to!
3. Sum Dog: Subtract within 5. Can you take away amounts within 5? Initially, get some physical apparatus for your child to use when carrying out this activity. Having 5 counters (whatever they might be-sweets or chocolate always works great!) allows your child to visualise and understand what they are doing. When they have developed their confidence they will no longer need to use equipment.
4. RE: Today I would like the children to think about what makes them happy and what makes them sad? Following this think back to the Easter celebration. What was the upsetting part? What was the happy part? Discuss the word ‘resurrection’. Then, in your yellow book, I would like you to either draw the sad and happy part of the Easter celebration, or to create your own craft tomb.
Don’t forget to share your photos with me via email! They truly make my day!
