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 

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.  Watch Mrs Cunningham's video on Tapestry, we are writing - 'qu'. 

Can you design a setting for your own King or Queen character to live in? Make sure you draw and label a plan first so you know what your setting will look like and which resources you will need.  
You may choose to draw, paint, model with playdough or maybe even make a garden in a box. You might want to use soil, grass, pebbles, a yoghurt pot pond, some small flowers or pine cones for trees.  
Please don’t rush these. You will have topic time today and tomorrow to complete these.  
You could even make a mini cut out of your King or Queen character to add to your garden setting and some of the ‘Tiny Things’ from the story too! 

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 

Warm up by counting to 20, forwards and backwards.  You could also rewatch Ms Woolford's number writing videos on Tapestry to help with your number formation - use the search bar and type in 'Maths writing number ...' to find the video you want.

Today we have made you some recipes to follow. Use the instructions to follow the recipes. You will need some sort of container to make your potions in.  

What do you think of our potions? Are they like yours? Do you think it will make the Tiny Things better? Write to us and let us know what you think. You could always upload your feedback to Tapestry.

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 that you have done your Speed Sounds, we are going to do some reading!  Let's see if you can spot our new 'ou' sound.  You could watch Miss Marchant's video on Tapestry to support you with this.

In the 'Additional Resources' section you will find the 'ou' Reading Activity. 

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.
