Before 0900- Wake Up and Get Dressed

Get ready for the day with independence; have a wash, dress yourself, eat breakfast and brush your teeth.

0900-0930 - Reading

Log on to Tapestry to listen to one of the teachers read this week’s story! 

If you are having trouble accessing our video, choose a book at home to read to yourself or share with someone in your family.

After listening to the story, you will need to complete a Reading Challenge of your choice each day from the grid below.

0930-1000- Maths Challenge

Warm up by counting to 10, forwards and backwards.  

Your Maths learning each day will begin by watching a video on the White Rose Maths website.  Watch the video and then complete the challenge found in the 'Additional Resources' section at the bottom of the page.  

White Rose – Growing 6, 7, 8! – Week 3 –  Session 4- https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/growing-6-7-8-week-3/

The White Rose Maths Challenge is to plant a seed - we know not everyone has seeds lying around in the snowy depths of January - so, instead of a seed, you could measure how tall you are today and begin to create a height chart.  Revisit your height chart regularly and mark your height and see how much you grow over time!  You could get all of your family involved and see who is the tallest and shortest.   

At the bottom of the page there are also some Additional Maths Challenges. These are only to be completed after the initial White Rose lesson and challenge. Only complete them if they are appropriate for your child, or you have spare time in your day.  

1000-1045- Home Learning Challenge 

Choose one of the challenges on either of your Reception Home Learning Challenges grids to complete (there are now three different challenge grids).  The latest grid can be found in the 'Additional Resources' section at the bottom of this page and all previous challenge grids can be found on our Year R COVID-19 Home Page in the 'Challenges' section.  

1045-1115 Break Time

Have one healthy snack: a banana, apple, orange etc. with a glass of milk or water.  Take some time to relax, maybe you could listen to another story online. 

1115 - 1145- Live Daily Zoom Session

Don't forget to log into zoom for our daily session. It will be great to see you all and a chance to catch up with all your friends.

1145 - 1215 – Enquiry Challenge

To say Happy New Year in Cantonese, one of the languages spoken in China, is ‘Gung hay fat choy’. 

Head to the website https://nancymusic.com/Gunghayplay.htm to listen to a New Year song which tells us more about the Chinese traditions for this festival. See if you can join in and sing along. 

To celebrate Chinese New Year we would like you to have a go at one of the activities below: 

-Make a paper lantern (here is a link to a how to video). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeZKYGmuZn0  

-Make a red money wallet. 

-Have a go at writing in Chinese. They use different symbols to our alphabet.  

-Try to use chop sticks. 

1215 - 1300 - Lunchtime

1300- 1330 – Phonics
Open Tapestry and watch the video ‘Set 1 Speed Sounds.’  Say the sounds along with the video; can you remember them all and say them first?  You should watch and say your Speed Sounds every single day. 
After warming up with your Speed Sounds, watch your Phonics Lesson video on Tapestry.

1330 - 1445 - Plan, Do, Review – 

Encourage your child to make a Learning Choice from a list of options (change these to suit) but they should include selecting from:

• Indoor exercise (Cosmic Yoga – found on Youtube or GoNoodle);

• Go for an afternoon walk;

• A Home Learning Challenge;

• A Forest School Challenge;

• Be creative (craft, painting, playdough, baking);

• Exercise (ride your bike, go for a run, play football/rugby);

• Quiet activity (puzzle, colouring, board game);

• Screen time on a learning website/app (links can be found on the ‘Useful Websites to Support Home Learning’ section of our COVID-19 Yr R Page).

When your child has made their choice, discuss: Where are they going to do their Learning Choice?  What exactly are they going to be doing?  How are they going to do it?

When they have completed their Learning Choice, Review it.  What went well?  How could they improve it?  You could revisit it tomorrow afternoon to improve.  What have they learnt?
