Day 2

Grouping

(floating and sinking linked to Science)

Science

Look at yourself really closely in a mirror (full length if possible). What body parts can you name? Can you make a picture of yourself and label the body parts you know?

I wonder if anyone knows where their thigh is?

Or their eyebrows?

Do you know where your shin is?

Or your nostrils?

If you have enough paper, you could lie on the ground and have a grown up draw around you!

Or, your grown up could take a photograph of you, put it into Pic Collage and then label it from there!

Extra challenge: Where is your heart? Where are your lungs? Where is your spine? Where is your cranium?

Can you think of any more tricky body parts to name?

Wednesday (3)

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Day 3

Positional language

Art and DT

Go into your garden, your yard, or your local park. Can you find different leaves, sticks, twigs, flowers, etc? Make your own animal collage with them! I cannot wait to see your photographs of these!

Can you think of other animals you could make?

Thursday (4)

Jack and the Beanstalk

Day 4

Making your own ship!

If we were at school, we would be preparing for Sports Day! At Sports Day, Reception do the following races/activities:

Running Race

Relay Race

Balancing Race (something on their head!)

Balancing Race (balancing a bean bag on a tennis racket – basically egg and spoon)

Can you set up some of these races at home and have a go?

Send me photographs or videos!

Friday (5)

Plant your own seed!

If you are unable to do this, you could go hunting for a dandelion clock and talk about the seeds. Or find seeds in an apple or orange!

Day 5

Checking amounts

Shapes

Understanding the World (one of the Early Learning Goals)

What things do you celebrate with your family? Do you celebrate birthdays? Christmas? Hanukkah? Eid? Chinese New Year? Diwali? Easter? St George’s Day? Anniversaries?

Make a poster all about the things you celebrate.

In my house we celebrate Christmas, Easter, St George’s Day, birthdays, my wedding anniversary and Chinese New Year.

Extra challenge: can you find out about any of the other celebrations which I mentioned?

Phonics Live Lessons!

At school, we teach your children phonics by following the Read Write Inc. phonics program.
