Welcome back to Reception’s Home Learning page.
Here is this weeks learning:
Suggested timetable week beginning 22.2.21
Name writing practice and number formation - Please continue to practice this daily, if you notice any letters or numbers that are not correctly formed, encourage your child to practice them in isolation a few times. Here is the RWI sounds mat. You could ask your child to practice writing 3/4 of the sounds they already know per day, can they write a word with 3 or 4 sounds in it? This could include ‘special friends’ such as qu-ee-n = queen.
RWI phonics virtual lessons - Daily lessons. Ruth Miskin Training - YouTube
I recommend watching these videos throughout the day, rather than in one go. The videos will be available from 9.30am for 24 hours, then they are removed and the next lesson’s video is available.
You may find that the lessons which your child has done are now repeated, so the sound is one that your child has already done at home. If they are confident with the sound, you could use the next set’s lesson instead. For example, if the set 2 lesson is ee and you have already done that, please use the Set 3 speed sounds lesson on that day instead. Here is a breakdown of the sounds that the children learn in Read Write Inc. Set 1, 2, & 3 Sounds
Please click on this link to check which lessons I suggest that your child engages with daily.
If your child is finding the set 1 speed sounds too easy, please get them to watch set 2 speed sounds. And vice versa, if they are finding set 2 lessons too difficult, please get the children to use the set 1 lesson.Ditty Photocopy sheets - Please make sure the children read these daily and that they write the hold a sentence. You say the sentence a few times so the children can remember it, show the children how to write the sentence and then cover your writing so they can have a go at writing it themselves. Click here for the five sheets for this week, one per day.
Maths - This week you will be looking at 2D and 3D shapes. Here are the challenge sheets: 2D challenges , 2D Repeating Patterns (this does not need to be printed if you do not have access to a printer, you could draw the table on a piece of paper and add the shapes yourself) and 3D challenges (Please ignore where it says to bring the 3D shapes into school, a photo via tapestry or email would be great). Please see the suggested timetable which shows when to do the activities I am providing here, there are relevant videos and activities on the BBC Bitesize website Space and shape - Foundation Stage Maths - BBC Bitesize
Yoga - Please use the Cosmic Kids yoga channel on Youtube or an alternative physical activity each day.
RE - The importance of being kind and trying not to hurt others. Children should watch The Unforgiving Servant I Animated Bible Story | HolyTales Bible Storie - YouTube Jesus taught his followers how important it is to forgive others from the heart. What should we do if we upset or hurt someone? Discuss this with your child. Could you keep a record of all of the kind deeds the children have done this week? Celebrate them with your children.
Music - Log on to your child’s account to access the next Music Lesson set by Mrs Benson.
Topic - On the Farm - Growing (Animals). The children will learn about the life cycles of some animals, create some potato print baby chicks and make a representation of a baby animal. On the Farm. Growing (Animals) - Oak National Academy (thenational.academy)
Please enjoy the traditional tale that I have read here for the children:
