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
Chose a book of your choice to read to yourself or share it with someone in your family, discuss it and enjoy it.
You could log on to Tapestry to listen to one of the teachers read a story! Which Mystery Teacher will be reading your story today? What did you like about the story? Why?
You could also watch a CBeebies bedtime story if you would like to, or search Youtube for stories.
Good children’s authors to search for include: Julia Donaldson, Oliver Jeffers, Giles Andreae, Sophy Henn, Morag Hood, Jill Murphy, Emily Gravett, Nick Sharratt.
0930-1000- Maths Challenge
Warm up by counting to 20, forwards and backwards.
Go on a 2D shape hunt!
Can you find a: circle, triangle, square and oblong?
Label where you find each one or you could take pictures... you won’t be able to sort these shapes as you can’t pick up a 2D shape!
1000-1030- Home Learning Challenge (to continue after Break Time until 1130)
Choose one of the challenges on your Reception Home Learning Challenges grid to complete and, if possible, share with us on Tapestry.
1030-1100 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.
1100 - 1130- Home Learning Challenge
Continue your Home Learning Challenge that you started – don’t forget to try and upload it to Tapestry so that we can see it!
1130 - 1200 – Writing Challenge
Today have a look at your Tales Toolkit you made yesterday of the Easter Story. Can you add some more labels? The names of the characters, the setting, what the problem was and the solution. Maybe you could try and write a sentence about it or, as a challenge, you could write a sentence for each part of the story.
Now watch the sand drawing video.

Isn’t this artist clever how he can use the sand to make the pictures change. Can you make your own drawing of the Easter Story? What might you include? The hills, Jesus, the tomb, the sunshine and maybe even Mary.
1200 - 1300 - Lunchtime
1300- 1330 - Phonics
Open Tapestry and watch the video ‘Set 1 Speed Sounds.’ Say the sounds along with Miss Bailey; can you remember them all and say them before she does? You should watch and say your Speed Sounds every single day.
Now you have practised your Speed Sounds, click on the icon below that has the title of one of your Phonics Books. You will be taken to the learning that you need to complete with your reading book today.
1330 Onwards- 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 wesbite/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?
When you have finished, enjoy some free time to yourself or to spend with your family.
We hope you have had a lovely day and we can’t wait to see your uploads on Tapestry.
