Week Beginning 1st March
Week Beginning 1st March 2021
Please make sure you look at the latest newsletter for all the information regarding school reopening.
Below is the home learning for this week. You can spread the activities and tasks out over the week. The expectation is for children to do 3 hours of learning per day, but please note this should NOT be done in one go. These 3 hours INCLUDES reading, creative and physical activities. We recommend 25-30 minutes of activities in one go.
Please remember to upload your home learning onto Evidence Me using the app. This is how we can keep in contact with you and give you help, comments and feedback on your child’s learning. Please also check the app for weekly videos, topic introductions, stories and more from the class teachers.

Literacy
This week we are looking at the traditional tale 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff'
Below is just one version of the story, but there are many more on YouTube that you could watch as well.
Please make sure you share this book at least 3 times. Repetition ensures that your child understands the story and is able to retell the story in their own words. It also helps with their vocabulary and sentence formation.
Task 1: Look at the pictures below. Read the captions and match them to the correct picture.
Task 4: Use the word mat below to write some descriptions of the Troll. For example, The troll is mean.
Think about what he is like and what he looks like. See if you can use 'and' in your sentences to make them longer, or explain why you have described him that way.
For example, The troll is mean because he did not let the goats cross the bridge.
Task 5: EVERYDAY practice writing your name

Phonics
Phonics should be done EVERY DAY. Whether it is just a recap, a game or practicing writing words with the sounds they have learnt.
We have now learnt all the sounds for Reception and are moving on to Phase 4 of Letters and Sounds, which is a recap and practice phase. It is so important now to recap and practise all the skills we know.
This includes handwriting, letter formation (writing letters the correct way), practising reading and writing words including polysyllabic words (words with 2 or more syllables).
Remember to practice reading and writing all your tricky words – these are words that we just have to know, we cannot sound them out!
|
I |
no |
the |
to |
go |
into |
he |
she |
|
we |
me |
be |
you |
are |
her |
was |
all |

my |
said |
have |
like |
so |
do |
some |
|
come |

A good way to practice is to stick the words up around the house. Exposure to tricky words and sounds in Reception is key to helping your child remember them!
Have a go at completing the workbooks below to practice all your phonics skills.

Maths
This week we are looking at all the different ways we can show our number bonds to 10.
Warm up with these activities from White Rose Maths
Task 1: Get two plates and ten objects. Put some of the objects on one plate and the rest of the objects on another plate. What number bond have you found?
Can you write the number sentence and show it in a part whole model?
What other number bonds can you find?
Task 2: Use the cards below or create your own and play a number bond memory game. Turn the cards over and take it in turns to pick two. If they are a number bond to 10 you can keep the cards, if not put them back and play again.

PSHE:
This week in PSHE we are talking about why exercise is good for us and the effects it has on our bodies.
Task 1: Play a game of charades with your family. One person has to act out different sports or types of exercise and the rest have to guess what it is. Whoever guesses correctly gets to go next.
Task 2: Do some exercise for one minute. Then feel your heartbeat and talk about what has happened to your breathing and your skin. What do you notice? Cool down for a minute and stretch all your body parts. Feel your heartbeat again. What has happened to your breathing?

Below are a few ideas to get you started.
