Week Beginning 18/05/2020
Hi Reception,
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are now ready for another week of home learning. I am really missing you all lots and can't wait to be back at school with you, but seeing your smiley faces and the enthusiasm you show for learning on our class blog or twitter page really makes me happy. Look out for a special delivery this week and some instructions for you to follow. Keep working hard for your parents and make them proud as I know you always do.
Stay safe, keep smiling and take care
Lots of Love

Films are shown at the times above and will be available for 24 hours. If you are struggling to access any of the sessions please contact me at school.
- Write the new sound and five words with the sound into your home learning books.

The Tale of a Naughty Little Rabbit
Writing
* After listening to the story, The Tale of the Naughty Rabbit, make a list of all the minibeasts and fruit and vegetables you can find in the book.
* Draw and label the parts of a flower.
* Look at the picture of the Giant, he doesn't know how to be friendly. Write him a letter to teach him how to be a good friend.
* Look what we found in our garden...some magic beans!! What do you think Hollie is saying and thinking in the pictures? Write a sentence for each bubble.
* Imagine you found some magic beans, what do you think would grow? Would it be something friendly? Maybe it would be a princess Castle or even go straight up to space? Draw and write me some sentences about what you think would grow.
My magic beans will grow into...
* Watch the clip of the beanstalk growing. Think of words to describe what it looks like and how it moves. Ask your parents to think of some 'Big Year 6' words to describe it, remember how we learnt colossal and humongous, these could describe what the beanstalk looks like.
Maths
* Oak National Academy sessions, click on the links below and complete the following five Maths sessions over the week:
* Finding one less than a given number
* Exploring one more and one less
* Investigating number combinations within 20
* Review lesson - A maths meeting
* Patterns and ordinal numbers
* I have also added the White Rose Maths sessions for those of you who enjoyed the activities last week. This weeks focus is Superworm, which is linked to our continued focused work on minibeasts.
* Play Maths Games on Education City. I have added some new games but please feel free to search other games on the site.
Understanding the world and creative
This week we will start a new topic on plants and also continue to work on the theme of minibeasts.
* Watch the PowerPoint - Parts of a Plant
Parts of a plant
* Look at the plants in your garden or when you go out for a walk. See you if you can spot the petals, leaves and stem. Where do you think the roots are?
* Take photographs or draw pictures of the different flowers/plants you find.
* Try and look at different seeds, bulbs or beans. You could look at them with a magnifying glass, if you have one.
* Make your own 'magic' beans. Design a packet for them, remember to add instructions on how to help them grow.
* Watch the CBeebies clip and grow vegetable scraps.
* Vincent Van Gogh is a famous artist from the Netherlands. Try and recreate his famous Sunflower painting.
* Design a new castle for the Giant from Jack in the beanstalk to live in.
* There was a magical harp in the story, try and make your own musical instrument (Sorry Parents!)
. You could make one of the instruments from CBeebies or create your own.
* Collect natural materials from outside and use them to make collage minibeasts.
* You could also check back on last weeks activities and see if there are any you didn't get chance to try.
* Listen and join in with this song, Growing in the Garden.
Personal, social and Emotional Development
* Complete the lesson from the Oaks Academy all about feelings.
* Draw a picture about how you're feeling now. You probably feel different at different times during the day or week...I know I do!
* Think about what makes you happy, sad, angry, worried and excited. Can you draw yourself and think about what you look and act like when you have these different feelings? Can you think of any other emotions you might have?
I hope you enjoy all of your activities this week and most importantly have fun, keep smiling and be good. I am already looking forward to seeing all of your blog and twitter posts.
Lots of Love
Mrs Wright xx
