Hi there Reception. I hope you are all safe and well. We are all getting very excited to see you all and hope that you liked the rainbow cards that we made for you in school. We have a countdown in class of how long it is until we see you all again and we can’t wait!

This week we are starting to look at Julia Donaldson stories; the author who write the Gruffalo and many other books for children. It is also our geography field word week so we will be looking at our local area and finding out information on a map. We are going to use a map in our first Julia Donaldson story called ‘What the ladybird heard'.’

Phonics:

Practise all the phase 3 sounds learnt so far with the video. (It may be familiar as we watched it last week too!!)
Join in with the next part of the phonics session with me .

Check out a video I made via Loom

Literacy:

Read the set of instructions which show a route around the farm in the story ‘What the ladybird heard’. Or you could print out the sheet and draw the route in pen.

Maths:

Monday’s maths lesson with Oak National Academy on number to 15 .
Create your own set of ladybirds with spots from 1-10 or more if you like. You can draw on the spots or add small circle stickers.

Topic:

Make a collage ladybird. Draw a simple outline of a ladybird (or print this template) and use coloured paper or scraps of material to decorate it. If you have any buttons you could use these as the spots. If you have no coloured paper you can paint or use crayons to colour the ladybird.
As part of our Geography field work, go outside and look around you. What can you see, hear & touch? (Can you see any ladybirds?)Draw a picture or write a sentence about what you discover outside.
Watch the video on Oak National Academy about our Community.

Physical Development:

Trace and colour a simple ladybird.
With your grown up ride your bike or scooter around where you live. What can you see? Roads? Bridges? fields? Trees? Houses? How are they the same/ different?

ICT:

Choose different counting, ordering and sequencing games on top marks.

Story:

Listen to the story of ‘What the ladybird heard.’
