Good morning everyone! Let’s get moving!!

Now we are awake and ready to learn!

I hope you are enjoying the story of Handa. Please continue to re-read/watch the story of Handa. Repetition helps us to learn new vocabulary and sequence the story.

Today we are looking at speech. This is when somebody is talking. I was wondering what might the animals in the story say if they could speak? I think the Monkey might say “Haha! My banana!”

Remember it is ok to only write sounds you hear, it doesn’t have to be spelt correctly.

(See document below for speech bubbles or draw your own)

If this is too challenging- focus on just hearing the first sound in the word.

Let’s warm up with counting!

Today is all about the number 8! How many ways can you make 8?

Draw your own ladybird and use spots or a pen to make 8 in different ways. How many ways did you find?

Good morning everyone and happy Friday! We would usually have our celebration assembly today, but don't worry we still have our Star of the week! Check the school newsletter to find out who! 

Here is one of our class favourite Just Dance videos, to get us in the Friday mood...

Literacy

 So we hoped you enjoyed reading and listening to our new story this week. Did you know the author of Monkey Puzzle is the same author as some of our other favourites such as, The Gruffalo, Meg and Mog, Stick man and many others. You might notice how the illustrations look similar, that is because they were all drawn by Axel Scheffler. Ask a grown up to re-read or watch one of our previous stories. Reading the same books over and over is really good for our brains, it helps us comprehend more of the story and the sequence and it also improves our vocabulary. 

For our last activity for Monkey Puzzle, can you listen to the description of the animals and write/draw what animal you think it is. Remember to try to write all the letters you can hear. 

Maths

Great work everybody on number composition. Learning how numbers are made up of different amounts helps expand our number concept. 

Here is an activity to challenge you today- There are 5 cubes all of the time. Some our hidden in the bucket. Use what you know about number 5 to figure out how man are in the bucket. You can use your fingers to help you too. Repeat this activity yourself with different amounts in the bucket. Can you record this as a number sentence?

Here is a link to a fun counting game, remember to continue to practice counting amounts and saying the total.

Wednesday 13/01/21

Good morning reception! Take a look outside. What is the weather like today? I wonder if you could put on your wellies and take a splash in the puddles! 

Let's take a look at today's home learning... 

Literacy

Take a look at our story for this week... Monkey Puzzle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgeKHjLSQUM 

Below you will find two worksheets:

• The first worksheet requires a grown-up to read the sentence and then you can find the rhyming word to fit the blank space!
• The second worksheet, you need to think of a rhyming word for each word. example: cat - mat
  Try and find at least one rhyming word for each word. If you can find more then that is fantastic! 

Maths

Worksheet 1: Look at the counters. Can you take two coloured pencils can you show the counters on the five frames. 

Worksheet 2: If you do not have access to a printer, you may wish to draw the frogs or use objects such as counters.

R. W. Inc

We would like to welcome you to Blueberry Park Primary! 

Some important things to remember at the start of the year...

• • Reception P.E. lessons take place every Tuesday, please send your child to school in their P.E. kit.
  • To prevent items being lost, please label ALL items of clothing (including velcro fastening shoes).
  • Look out for our online weekly newsletter, detailing ways to support your child at home. There will be a home learning task to complete each week. Please do not return any work to school at the moment.
  • Staff must be notified each time somebody different is collecting your child (we can only release your child with your permission). 
  • Please do not bring toys into school, keep them safe at home.
  • It is essential that school has an up to date contact number for you, please remember to inform us of any changes. 
  • Any allergy/medical information about your child should be shared with staff immediately and  updated regularly.
  • Remember to send book bags into school on Friday, we will send reading books home every Monday. 

Child Development

Please find below some useful information about child development. We would typically expect Reception children to be working within the 40-60+ months statements. Whilst this is only a guideline, it will give you some idea on how your child is doing and how to best support them at home.
