W2 Thursday Learning Blog

Good morning Reception Class 😎 Welcome to Week 2 Virtual School!

There are 3 different learning areas for you to work on every day.
Try to follow the instructions carefully and complete the tasks according to your learning pace!

Please be prepared to share some of your work during the end of the day Zoom meeting at 11:30 am with your teachers. Don't forget to upload at least one task on Tapestry for teachers to see how hard you've been working daily! Keep up the good work 😊

1) Library Book (Reading & Speaking)
Learning Objectives (LO): 40-60+ Uses vocabulary and forms of speech that are increasingly influenced by their experiences of books. Enjoys an increasing range of books. Knows that information can be retrieved from books and computers. Reading ELG - Children read and understand simple sentences. They use phonic knowledge to decode regular words and read them aloud accurately. They also read some common irregular words. They demonstrate understanding when talking with others about what they have read.


       Spend some time listening to David Williams free audio stories for your library time! David Walliams currently uploads his audio books 11:00 am daily.


You can also use Oxford Owl to look for some audio books as well!

Some questions to ask your child while reading together:

2) Mathematics (Numbers)
Learning Objectives (LO): Add 1,2 or 3 to any number to 20 by counting on.
40-60+ Counts objects to 10, and beginning to count beyond 10. Counts actions or objects which cannot be moved. ELG - Children count reliably with numbers from one to 20, place them in order and say which number is one more or one less than a given number. Using quantities and objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer. 

You will need one or two dice for Maths today. If you have some at home, that's great!
If not, try to make one at home by drawing and cutting the shapes out or use this printout if you would like.
