Welcome to another week of remote learning! A big well done to everyone for the fantastic work you have all been doing so far, we are extremely proud of how resilient the children are and how hard they are working! :-)

We are looking forward to another week full of fantastic learning!

Just a reminder to keep in contact with your class teacher regularly and keep us updated. We ask that families send photos of learning happening at home 2-3 times a week. You can share photos and videos on tapestry! Remember to email teachers if you need any help or support with remote learning! Have fun!

Happy Friday Rabbits, Hedgehogs and Squirrels! Well done for another fantastic week full of super remote learning, as always we are so incredibly proud of all the work you have done this week! Have a fabulous Friday full of fun! 

Letter formation

Join in with Miss Woodford as she practises the curly caterpillar letter ‘s’. Remember when we write our curly caterpillar letters we must use the anti-clockwise (backwards) movement as we curl, this will help us to form our letters! Firstly, warm up your fingers and join in with the movements in the video below. This will get you ready to write some super curly caterpillar letters!

Spellings 

You have been practising your spellings all week! Today prove to a grown up that you can spell them all by yourself!

Writing - Quick write

Emerging

Today we will be focusing on the sounds e and u and will be using these for our writing challenges below. We have been revisiting these sounds in phonics so today we will work on saying, hearing and writing these sounds. Watch and join in with Miss Sawkins' video to help you.

Challenge 1- Look at the first set of pictures below, can you say the words and tell your grown up what each word starts with. Can you write the sound that starts each of the words. Have a go at sounding the words egg, elf and up out using your fingers, this will help you to hear the initial (first) sound in the words. 

Challenge 2- Look at the pictures below, sound out the words and use these sounds to write the words. - Can you have a go at writing the words to match the pictures at home? What sounds can you hear? What is the first sound? What sound comes next? The sound made by the letter u is more common in the middle of a word. Can you write the sounds to match the pictures at home? You will need to hear, say and write the initial (first) and final sounds.

Writing - Quick Write

Expected and Exceeding

Today we will be focusing on the digraph ‘ng’ which we have been learning in phonics. We will be using this sound in our challenges below! Watch and join in with Miss Sawkins' video below to help.

Challenge 1- Look at the pictures below, can you sound out the words using your fingers?  Can you have a go at writing these words at home? Can you include your sound buttons? Remember we are using the sound 'ng’ can you spot this in the words? 

Challenge 2-  Using the pictures, can you say a sentence to your grown-up? Then can you write your sentence by sharing the writing with a grown up? Write the sounds you know, if there are some tricky sounds your grown up can help you. Ask your grown up to leave a space so you can write the ‘ng' sound independently.

Maths

Today we are going to be exploring 3D shapes! Yesterday you investigated flat 2D shapes and the properties including sides and corners. Today we will be looking at 3D shapes and how 3D shapes are not flat like 2D shapes. Whilst looking at faces and edges. Watch Miss Woodford’s video to help with this. 

After completing your challenge, could you make a vehicle out of 3D shapes?

Emerging

• 3D Shape Show and Tell! – Can you go on a 3D shape hunt around the house (you can look at packages/boxes, pringle cans, cans/tins, toy boxes, toys, tubs etc.)? What shapes can you find? Can you upload a video to tapestry to show what shape you have found? Can you name the 3D shape?

Expected

• 3D Shape Sorting- Can you go on a shape hunt around the house? This can include plastic shapes, recycled materials/boxes, food and toys! Create a pile of 3D shapes and discuss the shapes with your grown up! What is the name of the shape? What properties can you see? Sort the shapes into different piles of cylinder, cube, cuboid, sphere, pyramid and cone. Don’t forget to upload a photo to tapestry.

Exceeding

Which 3D shapes will roll down a ramp? Can you have a go at home?

• Experimenting with 3D Shapes! - After going on a shape hunt around your house, you can use these shapes for a maths  experiment! You will need to make a small ramp this could be from anything around the house; pillows, cans, boxes anything you can find! Test the shapes by placing them at the top of the ramp. Which shapes rolled?
• Lots of questions can be used to prompt discussions and further understanding of 3D shapes and properties 😊 Suggestions- Which shapes do you think will roll down the ramp? Discuss the properties with a grown up. What do you notice about the shape? What properties will help it to roll? Which shape do you think will roll the furthest? Will vertices help the shape to roll? Will an edge help the shape to roll better or quicker?

Topic

Can you make your own ambulance? 

This can be with Lego, junk modelling materials, cushions, sheets and chairs, construction kits - have a look at the pictures below for some inspiration! Don't forget it could be the air ambulance or the first responder car.

Can you role play being a paramedic - can you drive to the emergency in your ambulance. Does the patient need a plaster or a bandage - you could use a scarf or something similar to make a bandage or a sling. Does the patient need to go to hospital and do you need to use your lights and siren?

Watch Gecko's real vehicles video all about ambulances to help with your models and role play.

Storytime 

Get cosy and join in with story time. Can you make a reading den to listen to your story? 

Good morning Reception! Welcome to Thursday's learning! We can't wait to see the photos and videos of the learning you complete today! Remember to log into your class celebration assembly on google classroom at 2pm today! We can't wait to see you there.

Writing

Today we will be looking at paramedics and ambulances! Watch Mrs Fient's video to find out some information about ambulances, and then join in with the writing video before you try your challenge! Remember to have a go at sounding your words out using your phonics, and use the key words to help with those tricky to spellings. 

Emerging writing

Can you write the initial (beginning) and final (end) sounds in the words in your sentence? Can you say your sentence out loud before writing. The example below shows the child's writing in blue and the adults in green. Please watch the how to-emerging video for support. 

The ambulance is green. It has fast wheels.

Expected writing

Maths

Maths is not just about number but shape, space and measurement to. Today and tomorrow in maths we will be looking at shapes - both 2D and 3D. 

Today our focus is 2D shapes - these are shapes that have sides and corners and are completely flat. You may be able to spot them as faces on the 3D shapes on Friday.

The children need to recognise the 2D shapes and be able to describe their properties, how many sides and corners, straight or curved sides, and the difference/similarities between squares and rectangle. 

Emerging - confident with circle, square, triangle and rectangle 

Expected - confident with describing a wider range of 2D shapes, as emerging but also pentagon, hexagon, octagon, oval 

Exceeding - as emerging but also looking at everyday objects and shapes and describing them using correct mathematical terms - name, sides and corners, straight and curved.

Look for shapes around your home and garden (like Zach and Reggie in the Pancake Manor clip). Create a shape picture - can you make a person or a vehicle using simple shapes. Go on a shape hunt. Can you sort some everyday objects into shapes.

Watch the Numberblocks video about flatland - link below

Topic

Today you are going to do a traffic survey, this means you are going to use your super looking to see how much traffic you can find. This will include cars, bikes, planes, scooters, police cars, fire engines, tractors, buses and so much more! You will need a traffic survey to take with you, see below or watch Miss Woodford’s video to see what this looks like and how you can use it.

If you are unable to go on a walk, see below for transport I-spy. You can use these pictures to count how many vehicles you can see.

Challenge 1- Can you go on a traffic walk with your grown up and see how much traffic you can see? You will need to mark down every vehicle you see on your traffic survey! See Miss Woodford’s video for help with this.

Challenge 2- Can you count to see which vehicle you saw the most on your walk? This will be vehicle with the most marks on your survey! Can you count to see which vehicle you saw the least on your walk? This will be the vehicle with the least marks on your survey!

Happy Wednesday everyone! We're half way through our school week! Well done for some fabulous remote learning! Remember we are looking out to see if we can award any dragon points! Have a lovely day!

Reading

Read along with Miss Woodford as she reads the story 'In the Pit'. Sound out the words with Miss Woodford to read the story together. Then choose your own bug club book to read. Can you send us a video of your super reading?

Phonics - Tricky Words

Remember tricky words are those that we can't sound out and just have to learn.

Once you have watched the videos below have a go at a sentence containing the word we

Emerging - say a sentence including I and the - shared writing - child to write tricky words, adult to model the rest of the words.

Expected - write a sentence including tricky word we - try to work independently

Exceeding - write a sentence including tricky word we and as many of the others as you can! Try to work independently.

Have a go at the Tricky Word Trucks on Phonics play - link after videos

Select - pick individual words - all phase 2 and he, she and we from phase 2 (emerging select phase 2)

Then choose a truck and a background - adult to tick correct or incorrect 

Can you beat your time!

Writing- Emerging

Today we will be focusing on the sounds c, k and g and will be using these for our writing challenges below. We have been revisiting these sounds in phonics so today we will work on saying, hearing and writing these sounds. Watch and join in with Miss Woodford’s video to help you.

Challenge 1- Look at the pictures below, can you use the sounds c, k and g to write the initial sounds (first sound). Have a go at sounding the words out using your fingers, this will help you to hear the initial (first) sounds in the words. Can you write the sounds to match the pictures at home?

Challenge 2- Look at the pictures below, sound out the words and use these sounds to write the words. - Can you have a go at writing the words to match the pictures at home? What sounds can you hear? What is the first sound? What sound comes next? These words will have the sounds c, k and g in them.

Grown ups- It is tricky to be able to recognise if a word starts with a 'c' or a 'k'  but in the video I have explained a way that can help with this at home. C- if the word has the a, o or u sounds after. K- if the word has the i or e sounds after. This isn't something we would expect your child to know, but it is a useful trick for helping at home, a suggestion we hope helps :-)

Writing- Expected

Today we will be focusing on the digraph ‘th’ which we have been learning in phonics. We will be using these sounds in our challenges below! Watch and join in with Miss Woodford’s video below to help.

Remember we are using the sound 'th’ can you spot this in the words? Grown ups you may need to help with the trickier words such as thirty and thief, you can share the writing with your child :-)

Challenge 2-  Using the pictures, can you say a sentence to your grown-up? Then can you write your sentence by sharing the writing with a grown up? Write the sounds you know, if there are some tricky sounds your grown up can help you. Ask your grown up to leave a space so you can write the ‘th' words independently.

Writing- Exceeding

Today we will be focusing on the digraph ‘th’ which we have been learning in phonics. We will be using these sounds in our challenges below! Watch and join in with Miss Woodford’s video below to help.

Topic with Miss Sawkins - Black and White creatures

Poor Reggie Rabbit, Harry Hedgehog and Sid Squirrel have been stolen from our classrooms. We need to gather together some suspects. What clues do we have from the adults at school?

Can you think of some black and white creatures or people that may have taken them?

Who could have taken them?

Where might they have taken them to?

Why might they have taken them?

Can you research some black and white creatures in books or on the internet. Remember our e-safety rules.

Follow the link for some black and white creatures - which of these animals could it have been and which couldn't it have been - can you give evidence for your suggestions

e.g. It couldn't be the butterfly as it wouldn't have been able to carry them.

Can you draw a picture of who you think is the most likely suspect. What black and white animals live around our school?

Everyone can draw - see mine and my grandchildren's drawings below but remember I am very old and have been drawing a long time - just tell your grown-up what you have drawn and write a label. Remember, even some famous artists' work is hard to see what they have drawn! 

Please post your art work on Tapestry so we can build up our line up of suspects!
