Writing

Write about what pets need. Make sure children use capital letters, finger spaces, full stops and does it make sense. Ask them to proof read and edit their work to check spellings.

Draw a picture of a pet they would like. Write about it – its name, what does it look like, what does it like to do….

Reading

Read Some Pets by Angela Diterrlizzi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOGSedNnjVI – talk about the different animals. Are there any words that the children didn’t understand? Explain them to them. Ask them questions – which animal can squawk? Show me in the book where it tells you. Etc.

Read Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rudDGRQ9QGA – talk about why the puppy was the best pet.

Read a variety of books from home or use the Oxford Owl website. Make sure they are using their reading strategies. Look at the letters, make the sounds and blend the sounds together. Or, Look at the first letters, make the sound and cross check with the picture.

Maths

Revise numbers to 10 – one more and one less

Focus on teen numbers –https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL76_VtvtgQ How many tens and how many ones in each number. Can they draw representations of this? What is one more and one less than each number? Look at the number line, what comes before/after? Make your own number line.

Subtraction – make up subtraction stories using animals. There were 10 puppies playing. 3 puppies ran away. How many puppies left? Ask children what they need to do? How are they going to work it out? Use objects, draw or write the number sentence and then explain what they did.

Creative

Draw animals – there is a sheet in the pack that shows the children how to draw animals. Label them. Write about what they need.
Make playdough or salt dough animals.
Junk modelling – create pets using recycled materials such as boxes, cartons, tubes, etc.
Go into the garden with a pot of water and paint brush. Paint animals, write a number line, sight words, etc on the patio using water. Watch your creations dry. Why have they disappeared? (Science).
If you have small plastic animals put them on a paper outside so that it casts a shadow on the paper. Draw around the shadow.

Collect leaves and stones from the garden – create your own pet.

 

Take a picture of the work and email it to the teachers!

Week Beginning: 30.03.20

Dear Parents/Carers
The Reception Team hope that you are keeping safe at home.
We will be sending weekly ideas for you to try at home to keep the children busy.
Our Topic this term is Growing Plants.
This week we would like you to explore vegetables with your child. Please read/listen to the story 'Oliver's Vegetables' by Vivian French. You can find a video of it on YouTube. Talk about the different vegetables in the story. Ask them what vegetables they like to eat. Go on a vegetable hunt in your kitchen. What vegetables can they find?
Maths - sort the vegetables in size and length. Talk about the weight and compare. Use the vegetables to to count, subtract and add.  
English - Ask them to retell the story, then try and write some sentences about the story. Draw and write about their favourite vegetables. 'I like to eat ...... because.....'
Understanding the World - Discuss with them - what part of the plants are the vegetables - leaves, root, stem, etc. Where do they grow? Under the ground, on the ground, above the ground? 
If you have some potatoes or carrots or parsnips or beetroot at home (root vegetables), chop the top part off and put them in a shallow dish of water. Watch what happens over the weeks. They should start to sprout leaves. 

If you have seeds - plant some veg in the garden. 
Art and Design - Draw or paint pictures of the vegetables. Chop the veg in half and use paints to print with them.
Make salt dough - 2 cups flour, 1 cup salt, 3/4 cup of water. make into a dough. Mould the dough into different vegetables. Put on a baking tray and bake at 180 degrees (times will vary according to the thickness of the models). Once cooled, paint the 'vegetables'. The children can play with these - create a vegetable shop and price the vegetables for the children to buy and sell (Maths - money).

Cooking - Make a vegetable soup. Allow your child to help you chop the veg and make a soup. Or make a vegetable juice or smoothie. What other dishes can you cook for them to eat?
Please take photos of your child doing the activities and create a scrap book. When all this is over and we are back to school, your child can bring the scrap book in and share with us all the fun they have been having at home! Post the photos on our Twitter page @WhitehallPriSch
Keep safe, stay at home, and have fun! 
Kind regards,
The Reception Team
