Maths

There are yet more excellent activities on https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/  (summer term week 5 and the ‘Superworm’ section).  As before there are 5 days worth of activities here based around a book, but you don’t have to have the books to do them.  They are all very practical activities that you can do, there is no need to print anything off, just download the ‘get the activity’ for each day.

PE

Joe Wicks is still doing daily PE sessions at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ he is live at 9am but you can watch any time after as well.  RCT have produced some guidance and activities too, which is available here http://d6vsczyu1rky0.cloudfront.net/33281_b/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Wellbeing-Pack-Four-Diet-and-Exercise.pdf

Virtual Sports Day

We are planning to have a ‘virtual sports day’ this Friday 22^nd May.  You should receive an email letter about it this week, a full pack is available on our website here http://d6vsczyu1rky0.cloudfront.net/33281_b/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Joy-of-Moving-Home-School-Festival-Booklet21.pdf

Topic

Our topic is ‘Superheroes’!  Here are some ideas for this week:

Real life hero - research some real-life heroes, what power do they have? For examples: Doctors are heroes because they heal people/during this pandemic are caring for people.  I have put up a ‘people who help us’ quiz here, again no need to print it off: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OaRHExyHqqvyCLnCiKY-S-EdyeElKhPg

Topic

Our topic is ‘Superheroes’!  Here are some ideas for this week:

Villains (or baddies) and Superheroes - Can you think of as many of each as possible then sort them into good or bad - discuss your choices.  Are there some that are both good and bad?

Play ‘Superhero says’ - follow instructions in the same way as ‘Simon says’

Create your favourite superhero/villain - junk modelling/playdough/salt dough

Here is a simple recipe for making salt dough https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QyGeRqpAos9420o198lJH2u2A_s67g2c

Reading

Keep reading as much as you can!  If you need any logins (oxford reading buddy / hwb / study ladder) please let me know.

Study ladder

I have added lots more activities onto study ladder: www.studyladder.com

Extra tasks

I have kept this on from the last couple of weeks, as there is an awful lot of good stuff in there that doesn’t have to be printed off, you could adapt and write on paper etc.

If you are after extra literacy-based work, similar to what we would be doing in class, then here is a whole booklet full of great activities from Talk for Writing (T4W).  We use T4W activities in class to help learn stories and write our own. Examples from this year would be the ‘Little Red Hen’, ‘Ahhh Bee’ and minibeast documentaries tasks that we did – see our blog for videos… https://lpsreception.blogspot.com/

Here is a link for the pack… https://www.talk4writing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Reception-Sue.pdf and please remember that they are to be done over several days!!

Mr Foster is now producing a weekly challenge, I have added this below.

I had a request last week for some paper copies of activities, if this is also something that you would like, can you please let me know via Dojo and I’ll do my best to get something to you.

Hope you are all well and continue to stay safe.

Our topic is ‘Superheroes’!  Here are some ideas for this week:

Drama: Research cartoons/comic strips - act out the illustrations/story use/make props where needed (think about the structures of the stories - make drawings to help keep track)

You might want to design your own superhero (or use one you have already made) to ‘star’ in it.  I have uploaded a few sheets:

Design a mask https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZB7PRcAeHJFC3cj_gZpg8Wr5YqqolKXK
