W11 Monday Learning Blog

Good morning Reception Class πŸ˜Ž Welcome to Week 11 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 πŸ˜Š

1) Home Readers (Reading)
Learning Objectives (LO): 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.

Children are expected to read daily if possible but we will follow our usual homework schedule of Home Readers (Mondays/Wednesdays). Children to read to their parents/guardians, stuffed animals or pets. Please visit Oxford Owl for free eBooks that link to your child's book band. You can create a free account.

2) Mathematics (SSM)
Learning Objectives (LO): 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. They solve problems, including doubling, halving and sharing.

There are two different types of Maths activities. Please feel free to move from one star challenge to another depending on your mastery remembering what works best for you. 
Don't forget that learning is fun πŸ˜‰

Please download and work on Numbots daily if possible - your child will have an individual login to access this.

⭐ - 1 Star Challenge:

It is time for us to look closely at number 10 this week 😊
Let's use our 10 fingers to sing along the song I can say my number pairs 10!


Can you use your fingers to show 10? Now, can you fold your 2 fingers down?
How many are standing? How many are folded down?

Repeat with each number from 1 to 9 to find out different bonds/pairs you can find to make 10!

Can you find the missing number bond to make 10 in the robot's tummy?
Use your 10 fingers to help you find the missing number!

⭐⭐ - 2 Star Challenge:

Now you have noticed there are several different ways to make number bonds to 10. You may use your 10 fingers again or you can actually trace and make paper hands like this below to fold fingers down!

20 Terrific Activities and Ideas for Teaching Number Bonds

Can you write the matching addition number sentences after seeing how many fingers are standing and folded down? For example, your number sentence would be 8 + 2 = 10 after you have 8 fingers standing and 2 fingers folded down. Have fun! πŸ˜€

Can you find the missing number to make each star equal to 10? How many different ways did you find out to make number bonds to 10?

3) Topic (Our Playground)
Learning Objectives (LO): ELG - Children know about similarities and differences in relation to places, objects, materials and living things. They talk about the features of their own immediate environment and how environments might vary from one another. They make observations of animals and plants and explain why some things occur, and talk about changes.


We have spent some time looking into our homes and houses we live in and our neighborhood past few weeks. We would like to focus on learning about playgrounds from this week! 😊

We used to spend some time playing in the school playground with our friends everyday. Aside from our school playground, have you visited some other playgrounds near your house to play? If you did, what was your favorite equipment to play with in the playground? Why?

Let us have a look at 15 amazing playgrounds around the world below:
