Phonics Please practise the phase 2 and 3 sounds and brain words daily. You can do this with Mrs Soden and Miss Humphery (link found in ‘Reception Phonics’ on the blog) or with your own flash cards. This week the Reception Phonics videos will be on the sounds: ‘ai’, ‘or’ and ‘oo/oo’.

Reading Make sure you have some daily quiet time to enjoy reading a book to your child. Save the Children’s latest campaign ‘Save with Stories’ is a

wonderful initiative which supports the nation’s most vulnerable children at this time. Watch a host of famous faces read stories by clicking here. Please also continue to ensure time for your child to read to you.

Main

Activity

Please encourage your child to sound out carefully (please see a sound mat below) and form their letters correctly. Remind them that they need to use finger spaces between words, to start a sentence with a capital letter and end it with a full stop.

Resources Crossword puzzle on page 3. Pens/pencils

Resources: Paper and pens/pencils Or any other writing resources

Resources Shard ‘ar’ challenge on page 4. Pens/pencils

Resources: Ipad or computer Printed bingo cards

Resources: Template on page 5 or lined paper of your own Pens/pencils

Complete a crossword puzzle. After your London landmark clue activity, you are now an expert at giving clues. For this task, you need to work out the clue. Once you have worked out the clue, sound it out carefully to fill in the boxes.

Practise spellings. Please practise spelling these high frequency words:

can

off

not

get

and If your child can write these words easily why don’t they have a go at writing sentences with them in?

Sound out ‘ar’ words There are lots of objects with the ‘ar’ sound hiding in the Shard. Can you see any? Once you have found one write it down, carefully sounding the word out. There are 10 hidden ‘ar’ words…. can you find them all? *Challenge* Can you write a sentence using as many of the ‘ar’ words you have found as possible?

Play high frequency word bingo Click here You are going to play high frequency and brain word bingo! You or your grown up will click the virtual spin button, if a word comes up that is on your list you can tick it off. Whoever ticks all their words off first is the winner!

Parent tip: you can choose which phase you would like to practise with your child on the menu before you print or prepare their bingo cards.

Write an idea While you are designing your palace (Topic Activity 4), have a think about what you would do if you were the king or queen who lived there. If you were the Queen of England for the day, what would you do? Would you change the rules? Would you have a big party in your palace? Use the template on page 5, or lined paper of your own, to write down your idea.

Problem/

Activity of

the day

Today we are going to start

our focus on 3D Shapes.

We would like you to put on

a 3D shape show for your

families!

Tell them everything that you

know about these three

shapes.

Miss Areosa has made a fun

example (Click Here) for the

children to watch first before

they create their own show.

Click Here to have a fun video

introduction to the show the

children create, pause as

needed.

Please post a picture of this

on the blog

Today we are continuing

to learn about 3D Shapes.

Put on another 3D Shape

Show for the 3D shapes

above

Click Here to have a fun

video introduction to the

show the children create,

pause as needed.

What’s in the Bag

Children put their hand(s) in a bag to choose one of the shapes inside. By exploring the shape with their hands while it is still in the bag, they use the vocabulary to try to reason which shape it is, then bring it out to see their choice.

See Below how to encourage

Mathematical thinking and

reasoning.

Please post this on the blog

Missing 3D Shape!

Oh No! One of the 3D

shapes we have been

learning about has gone

missing.

Can the children make a

lost poster for a missing 3D

Shape.

Choose which shape has

gone missing and remember

to describe the shape with

its properties.

You can also discuss what

it may be hiding as. For

example if it was a sphere

that is lost, it maybe hiding

as a ball or an orange.

Build a Landmark with 3D

Shapes

Using junk modelling, or

construction pieces, can you

build one of the London

Landmarks we have learnt

about over the last two

weeks?

Carefully choose the 3D

shapes that you will use. Can

you tell your grown up which

3D shapes you have used?

Can you say why you have

used them, e.g. “I used a

pyramid for the top of the

shard because it has a sharp

point at the top”.

We don’t need to film or record it but just ask the children to create a show all about these three 3D

shapes.

We don’t need to film or record it but just ask the children to create a show all about these three 3D

shapes.

Try to include a range of different types and, if possible, a range of different materials from which they are made (ideally the shapes should

contain examples that children might have already come

across in the setting as well as those which are likely to be

new to them)

If the children want to draw their lost 3D shape here is a link to help them give it a go.

Music with Ms Harris

London Bridge is Falling Down

Our wonderful music teacher Ms Harris has

recorded another video for the children. Today she is singing ‘London Bridge is

Falling Down’.

Can you join in with the words?

Can you join in with the actions? Can you teach the song to someone in

your family?

Design your own Palace for the Queen

Start by having a look at pictures of Buckingham Palace. You might want to look up

some different palaces from around the world.

Now it is your turn to design a palace that is

special enough for the Queen. Think about the extra special features of a palace, for example,

you might want to make it really tall like The

Shard or to have a drawbridge. As a challenge, can you describe your palace to an adult and tell

them why it is special?

You can find some examples of some pictures of palaces from around the world below.
