There are
games that we have played in class on:
Maths
There is
a final set of activities at https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/ (summer term week 12 and the ‘How many legs’
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 PE sessions, but only 3 times a week now 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
Topic
Our topic
for the last half-term has been ‘Splendid Skies’ and was all
about the weather.
The weather is set to be better this week (fingers
crossed!). On a sunny day encourage the children to investigate how shadows are
made. Allow them to take objects outside to investigate shadows. Include
objects with holes in them e.g. sieves, colanders or plant pots for interest.
How does the shadow change as the object is turned? Remind them of the safety
aspect of never looking directly at the sun.

It has
been great to see Reception over the last three weeks. Thank you for all your support with learning
materials sent home.
Next year
Although
this year has been a strange one and had its challenges for us all, it has been
an absolute pleasure to get to know your children and be their teacher this
year. Hopefully you will have seen a
communication from Mrs Price to confirm that I will be teaching Reception/Year
1 next year, and that Miss Hughes and Mrs Bamford will continue to be part of
the team. I am delighted, and I hope you
agree that it will also be very beneficial for the children to have familiar
faces to come back to next year after the disruption and uncertainty this year
has brought.
Hope you all
have a great summer and continue to stay safe. I look forward to seeing you all
in September.
Mr Griffiths
P.S. Please find below a ‘starting Reception checklist’ for
next year, which lists the kind of things the children could do with
knowing/being able to do for when they start full days in school
