Monday 8th February

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a good weekend? We are on our last week of learning now before half term – well done for making it this far!

Morning activity

This morning I would like you to have a go at forming your numbers correctly using the sheet below. If you don’t have a printer, then just have a go on paper, but remember how important it is to make sure that you start your numbers in the right place!

Monday 8th

Maths

Today we are going to go on a number hunt. Go around your house and see if you can find one of each number up to 10. Which number can you see the most of? Are there any numbers that you can’t find? Where is the best room or place for finding numbers?

It is our PE afternoon today, so you might want to do this activity outside instead and combine it with going for a walk!

Afternoon activity

It’s PE today, have a go at the Cosmic Kids episode if you fancy it.

Or you could have a go at this activity from the Youth Sports Trust

PE Home Learning Colour combination

There’s a video for it here:

Or as always, get out on a walk, run or bike ride to get some fresh air!

Story

There is a story on Tapestry for you today.

Have a lovely day everyone,

Hi everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your day of being creative yesterday! Here’s what we’ve got for today…

Morning activity

Later on today I am going to ask you to play shops as part of your maths. So this morning, maybe you could set your shop up. Maybe find a good place to have your shop, write a sign saying ‘Shop’ and find some things that you would like to sell.

It might be a toy shop, a food shop, a clothes shop. The choice is yours!

Friday 5th

Maths

Right, now it’s time to get that shop up and running! First you will need to price up all your items. Decide how much each item is going to cost up to 10p, so is it going to cost 1p, 2p, 5p or 10p? Write a price tag or label for each item.

Then you are going to need a customer! When your customer decides to buy something, you will need to tell them how much it costs and check that they give you the right coin. Remember to use your manners when you talk to your customer – nobody likes a rude shop keeper.

Have fun playing shops today! If you need some cut out coins, there are some below.

Coin Cut Outs

Afternoon activity

This afternoon it’s time to do a little bit of music. This website is really easy to use. You will need to draw different shapes, which then make music when you press the play button! It’s very fun and I know last years Reception class loved experimenting on it. If you change the colours, then it changes the type of instruments used. Have fun!

There is a story on Tapestry for you to finish off your learning with today. Enjoy!

Have a brilliant weekend everyone, well done for working so hard still.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all still having a good time at home and working as hard as you can. Here is our learning for today.

Morning activity

There’s a little bit of colouring to get your brains warmed up today. This time it’s colour by shape, enjoy!

Maths

I hope you all enjoyed the game yesterday, maybe have another go at it first today to try and remember some of those coins.

Coins Game

Then, I would like you to complete the ‘Coin Detective’ sheet below. Do you know what a detective is? It’s someone who looks for clues to help them solve mysteries! You are going to be a detective today by spying on all the coins, you will have to use your brains to look for the right shape and size for each coin that you need to colour in.

Once you have finished this, if you have any coins at home, you could match them to the ones on your sheet.

Afternoon activity

I hope you all enjoyed exploring where you live yesterday. How many places did you manage to find?

Today, I would like you to have a look at the pictures that you took yesterday and label them. You don’t need to print your pictures off, you could just write a list of places that you found. If you didn’t manage to get out and about to explore, you could just write a list of the places that I found instead.

Afternoon activity 2

Don’t forget to come to the show and tell meeting today if you are free! Remember it’s at 2.30 – see you there!

Have a lovely day,

Miss Roberts x

Hi everyone,

I have now scheduled in a show and tell session for this Wednesday (3rd February) at 2.30pm.

Hopefully the invite should have gone into your school email address. Mrs Andrew text the login details for this last week.

Go to your emails and check that the invite is there. When it is time to join the meeting, you will need to log in to the Teams app/website (on any device) using the school email address and password you have been given. You will be able to view the meeting in the calendar on Teams, just click on the meeting, then click ‘join now’ and you’ll be in!

I will be doing more Teams meetings for the children, so if you can’t make this one or you’re struggling to get on at the time, don’t worry! It won’t be your only opportunity.

Looking forward to seeing lots of you there!

Miss Roberts x

Good morning everyone, it’s a new month today! Do you know what month it is? Maybe you could have a look on the calendar and see if you can find it. What letter does it start with? Can you use your word builder and sound out the first three letters?

Morning activity

This morning I have a cut and stick activity for you. In school we use something called Numicon, which are number shapes. Numicon has different shapes and colours to represent each number.

Can you cut the numicon shapes out and stick them into the right order to represent the numbers 1-10?

Monday 1st

Maths

This week we are learning about money and today I would like you to look at and become familiar with all the coins that we use.

If you have any coins at home, can you sort them out into different piles based on the colour.

You should end up with a pile of copper coins, a pile of silver coins and a pile of gold coins. But now look a little bit closer – do all the coins in each pile look the same? Maybe now you could sort them out depending on the shape and size of them.

Once you have finished sorting them out you should end up with 8 piles of coins.

Now, look at each coin, can you see any numbers on them? This is how much they are worth! Can you find a coin with a number 1 on it? How about a number 2? What other numbers can you spot on the coins?

Once you have finished sorting out the coins and having a good look at them, can you think of some of the things that you might need to use money for?

If you don’t have any coins at home at the moment, then there’s a sheet with different coins on here.

Afternoon activity

This afternoon it’s our PE day. I’ve got a yoga session for you to complete if you’d like to. 

If you don’t fancy yoga, then maybe go on a bike ride or a walk or just get out into the garden for a little bit. Fresh air is so important to keep our brains healthy, and going outside always makes me feel a little bit happier straight away.

Story

There is a story on Tapestry for you today.

Have a marvellous day. I can’t wait to see you all on the Teams meeting this week! I will post details of this later on today (Monday).

Good morning everyone, well done for making it to Friday!

Morning activity

On Tuesday I asked you to have a think about being more independent. This morning we are going to put that into practise, I would like you to… Get yourself dressed properly, fold your pyjamas away, make your bed, help get your breakfast ready and help to tidy it away afterwards and get all your things ready for learning today. See how much of this you can do by yourself!

Letters and Sounds

Today I thought you might like to have a go on the Phonics Play website.

Phonics Play

This website is free at the moment, the username is jan21 and the password is home. We use this website a lot in school and the children love playing on the games. We are starting to learn Phase 3 at the moment, so choose any of the Phase 2 or Phase 3 games on there, under the ‘Resources’ section. If you choose Phase 3 games, remember that we have only learnt up to ‘qu’ so far, so not all the games on the Phase 3 section are going to be suitable!

For Phase 3 games, I would suggest:

• Buried Treasure
• Dragon’s Den
• Picnic on Pluto
• Make a Match (Weeks 1-2)

Maths

Today I would like you to draw a number picture. On your picture I would like you to draw:

• 1 house
• 2 trees
• 3 birds
• 4 bikes 
• 5 cars
• 6 clouds
• 7 people
• 8 apples on the trees
• 9 insects
• 10 flowers

Remember to make sure that you count properly, and maybe don’t make each drawing too big as you need to fit lots on there.

Afternoon activity

Today I thought you might like to do a little bit more craft and make some paper aeroplanes! Once you have made your planes, you could take them outside and test which ones can fly the furthest! There is a website link below with some different paper aeroplane templates – choose your favourite and have a go. A word of warning – some look very tricky!

Story

Enjoy the story below to finish off your learning today.

Have a brilliant weekend everyone. I am planning a Teams ‘show and tell’ for next week so hopefully I will be able to see all of your faces! Hopefully you have all received your email addresses and passwords now – the rest of the details are to follow…

Hi everyone,

I have had a few queries from parents about reading books. If you want to change your reading book, please go to the school office with your current reading book and reading record. Let the office know which books you need for your child and they can swap them for your current books.

Books that are returned to school will be isolated for 72 hours before being put back into rotation so that all germs will have disappeared. You are welcome to take two books and we ask that you only come and change your books once a week (at a time to suit you) so as to limit visits to the office.

Reading books are in the office and ready to go. Happy reading!
