Reception
Wednesday day 3
admin on: Reception
To all my lovely parents.
I can just say you are all amazing!
I have not found this situation easy, being a parent myself also. Today, receiving some gorgeous photos of the children has put this into perspective.
Lots of messages flying round on Face Book but this sums it up:
There is no academic emergency this week, so don't be so quick to set up a home school. Our country is in crisis and we are all stressed and tired. Stressed adults can't teach stressed children. It is a neuro-Biological impossibility. Try focusing on connections and feelings of safety.
Having said that I love all your efforts at home. Its only day 3... your children will be fine; Every day they just need to read and be read to,write a sentence or two and find maths games to play including baking, Uno, Domino's, cards, snap, board games and playing with each other and with their toys..
So Wednesday (my day off you can have one to if you want).
Go noodle - Dance
Register those teddies! Count them, sort them into two different groups work out some number stories.
There are 6 teddies and 3 are playing outside how many are left? There are 2 teddies in the sand and 6 teddies in the home corner how many all together?
If available you can record these.
Phonics/Literacy/reading
No Ditty book today unless you wan to.
If you have the RWI cards now's the time to flash them.
Did the children make those red words from yesterday don't worry if not but if so now is the time to flash those too.
INFORMATION for writing.
Not sure this will work if you don't have power point but you can always look up spider facts.
Have a go at writing some spider facts in the green book and draw a spider. Here are some ideas they could write. Try to let them think first. Don,t worry too much about the spelling just help them to sound the simple ones out . They will be able to spell most of these words except for spider/eyes/spider-lings. Remind them of the ay sound for lay. Just write as many or little as you child is motivated for minimum 2.
A spider has 8 long legs.
A spider can spin a web.
A spider has 8 eyes.
A spider can lay lots of eggs.
A spider has lots of spider-lings.
I hope they will enjoy this task.
Have a break.
Maths - Continue with the number books or maths seeds and play games which incorporate hidden maths.
Here are some photos of the children today.
Jude finding a spider.
Elle being busy.
Just do as much or as little as you can every day.
If you want to go outside and construct a spider web that would be fun.
Keep smiling and please don't feel under any pressure. Most children are at a good level already.
I will be in school Thursday and Friday this week.
Have a good day,
Mrs O

Well done!
You are doing brilliant!
Any work can be done in the green books. You may need to pencil draw extra lines in with a ruler in as the lines are very wide apart in some books.
Here is a reward chart if you need it. Reward Chart 2020.pdf
Reward for parents, download this onto child's tablet/computer. https://youtube.com/kids/?gclid=CjwKCAjw3-bzBRBhEiwAgnnLCu6c9zGT0M-oVVuBgbmmF3j-2f5-sIEVRU0yvema_m_hc5Q_g6RRXhoC-AkQAvD_BwE
Time table to have a go at today. Remember its only day 2, take it easy.
Go noodle.- Go onto Categories then Zumba or Maximo
Register. If you have 10 teddies its a good time for some maths. Are all 10 here today? No? How many away? 10-1=9 inverse 9+1=10
Children can write number sentences or draw visual symbols.
Split the 10 teddies into 2 groups for number bonds to 10 practise. Ask children to tell you the number sentences. 8+2=10 7+3=10 3+7=10 then 10-3=7

Ditty 2 in the little red Go Writing books. Remember to get the children to sound out all the sounds (segmenting for spelling) individually.
e.g S-W-I M using Fred Fingers. Write extra sentences if this available. The green book is there if the children are keen.
Practice handwriting letters c a o d g they should all start the same way.
Mathematics - Maths seeds or Schofield and Sims Booklet (you can buy more online if you like these from Amazon)
Play Snakes and ladders, counting up and down from the number you land on.
Physical - always go noodle available but BBC radio 'Lets Move' are 20 mins free dance programmes the children are familiar with.

Crafting see if you can make a creative spider inside or using natural materials in the garden.
Stay safe please let me know how it's all going. Feed back will be useful.
Remember learning works best if the children think they are playing and having fun!
Thank-you again,
Mrs Oddy
