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.
Yesterday you went on a 3D Shape Hunt! Today, can you label the 3D shapes that you found and discuss their properties?
What makes each shape special? How many vertices, edges and faces do they each have?
Challenge: Make a poster about each of the 3D shapes.
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
Yesterday you looked at the Christian story of Easter. Can you remember what happened? Maybe you could watch it again.
For your challenge today, can you make your own Tales Toolkit for the story? There is a copy of this in the 'Additional Resources' section at the bottom of the page. If you don’t have a printer, simply fold a piece of paper in 4 to make your own. Remember the four symbols: Characters, Setting, Problem and Solution.
Talk through the story as you draw it out, adding labels to your pictures as you go. You could even act the story out for your family.
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.
