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 

Watch 'Norman the Slug with the Silly Shell' on Tapestry again. What is your favourite part of the story?  Why?  What is your least favourite part of the story?  Why? 
Draw a picture with labels or write sentences to show your answers. 

0930-1000- Writing Challenge 

To warm up, start with some Handwriting - you could rewatch one of Mrs Cunningham's videos on Tapestry.

Today you are Norman the slug!  Hello, Norman!  What shell would you like so you can be like a snail?  

Your challenge is to design your own shell so you can play with your snail friends.  What would you use?  Would it be a bouncy ball?  Would it be a flower?    

Draw yourself as Norman the Slug with your very own silly shell.  Can you write a sentence to tell us why you have chosen your silly shell?   

1000-1030- Home Learning Challenge (to continue after Break Time until 1130) 

Choose a challenge!  We now have 4 Reception Home Learning Challenge Grids to choose from. :-)  

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 – Maths Challenge 

Starter - Number of the Day: 14.   

Can you complete the Number of the Day poster?  You can use your own format if you want to!   

Am I right or am I wrong?  Your Maths Challenge Questions today… I have already answered!   

Can you check my answers for me to see if I am right?  If I got some answers wrong, make sure you correct them for me.  How many did I get right and how many did I get wrong? 

As an extra challenge, you could film yourself doing a Maths video for me and teach me how to find the answer using the part-whole model or ten frames. 

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.   

On Tapestry revisit the 'ar' reading lesson video. There are two challenges to choose from today: 1) Revisit the Reading Activity sheet, or .2) Can you be a sound detective and spot all of the words with the ar sound?  The story is a challenge to read – you could read it to your child and see if they can hear the sound or they can underline the words that they spot.   

Both documents can be found in the 'Additional Resources' section. 

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 (independent reading, 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.
