Good morning! I hope you are enjoying the lovely weather.

Here are today’s home learning activities.

In addition to these activities, there are lots of good lessons and ideas on BBC Bitesize.

The lessons begin from Year 1 but some of the games and ideas look to be suitable for younger children. They are even showing  Numberblocks!

Phonics

Practise your letter formation in your home learning book.

Remember all the letters start on the line with a lead-in!

Words to write:

chip food queen ship

Please read the words to your child. They can then write them in their home learning book.

Phonics activity:

Can you write a sentence including one of the above words?

Remember that at this stage we are looking for children’s phonetic attempts at words. It is important your child grows into an independent learner. Encouraging your child to write the words as they sound rather than always spelling correctly is important. It encourages the children to use their own skills – rather than copy from an adult.

Hello Reception Class!

I hope you are enjoying the lovely weather and are having fun at home.

I have come across a few more fun activities you might like to try next week.

Have fun- send me some photos and I will see you all soon!

 

Good morning! I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Over the next two weeks there won’t be daily learning tasks.

Instead, here are some ideas for things to do over the Easter period.

These are some links to a cbeebies programme called “Let’s celebrate” it shows children celebrating Easter along with a child friendly reference to the Easter Story.

https://youtu.be/-qVW9IjhIlU – preparing for Easter

https://youtu.be/StlJgYF-Ki8 – celebrating Easter.

https://youtu.be/jzzr9ogygwA – The Easter Story

Watch the Cbeebies Easter programmes -Talk about what you watch with your child.

Have you done any of the things that Toby has done to prepare for Easter?

Have you seen any spring flowers in the garden? Talk about their names and colours. Why don’t you pint and draw some?

Here are some activities that you may like to try over the Easter holidays.

Make an Easter egg picture? Cut out some egg shapes from paper and ask your child to decorate it.  Use zigzag patterns, wave patterns, horizontal lines, vertical lines and circles.

Easter egg hunt – Can you child help you to think of some clues for the Easter egg hunt? Can they write their instructions for the rest of the family?

Decorate an egg – Make a hard-boiled egg and allow it to cool down. Ask your child to decorate it using coloured pens. Use a slide or create a ramp with a large box propped against a chair. Whose egg rolls the furthest?

I hope you have a lovely Easter holiday and I look forward to hearing all about what you’ve been up to.

moortowneyfs@spherefedertion.org

Thank you so much for sending me photos of all your great learning-seeing these has really cheered me up!

Good morning! I can’t believe it’s Friday again! I hope you’ve all been busy and enjoyed this week’s learning.

During the Easter holiday there won’t be daily posts. I will, however, send one post which will give you some ideas for things to do over the two weeks.

The most important message this Easter is to have fun as a family. Read together, play outside, bake, garden, watch a movie, sing and dance. Make the most of this time together.
