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 

Word of the week – Vibration 

Definition – continuous quick, slight shaking movement. 

Synonyms – shaking, tremor, trembling, quivering, shuddering.  

Sentence – Worms feel vibrations in the ground when I stamp my feet.  

Can you write your own sentence or definition using the word of the week?  Over the week try to use the word whenever you can.   

0930-1000- Writing Challenge 

To warm up, start with some Handwriting.  Watch Mrs Cunningham's video on Tapestry, we are writing - 'nk'. 

Your challenge today is to draw and write about what worms eat.  There is lots of information about this in our story, Yucky Worms, so you could listen to that again to help you.   

After you have drawn and labelled your pictures, you could write a sentence about what worms eat or even what happens to the food when it comes out the other end!  What is a worm’s poo good for?  

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, draw and cut out 5 worms that are all different lengths. 

Which of your worms is the shortest?  Which is the longest?  The widest?  The thinnest?  In the Additional Resources section you will find a vocabulary mat that may be useful to support your conversations. 

Can you put your worms in order from shortest to longest?  How do you know that you are right?

If you can, save your 5 worms for tomorrow's Maths Challenge! :)   

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 'oy' sound.  You could watch Miss Marchant's video on Tapestry to support you with this.

In the 'Additional Resources' section you will find the 'oy' 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.
