Reception Home Learning Page 2020 - 2021

Week beginning 18th January 2021

Hello everybody!

Well done for completing your first full week of home learning. Please find attached your new home learning activities for this week. There are tasks for maths, english, phonics and topic to complete each day. In addition to this please continue to read every day and practise your sounds in your sound book so that you can do them super speedily.

Our activities for english and topic this week are based around The Gingerbread Man.

To make gingerbread men at home you will need:

a rolling pin

a gingerbread man cutter

sweets for decorating

350g plain flour

175g light brown soft sugar

100g butter

1 medium egg

4 tbsp golden syrup

1tsp bicarbonate of soda

1.5tsp ground ginger

icing sugar/icing pens

In maths we will be continuing a sequnce of teaching videos from the 'white rose maths' website which focus on comparing mass and capacity. There are lots of practical activities to complete this week which focus on mathematical language including making playdough. It's a really simple no cook recipe which can be kept in the fridge in cling film and used several times.

For this you will need:

2 cups of flour

0.5 cups of salt

2 tablespoons cream of tartar

2 tablespoons of oil or baby lotion

1 cup of hot water

You could use the cutter from the gingerbread recipe to make playdough gingerbread men!

For phonics, there are 3 Read Write Inc lessons to have a look at. Set 1 sound revision, blending and reading or spelling. 

I have also added some additional activities if they are required.

Looking forward to seeing you on the class zooms each day at 10am.

Take care everybody,

From Mrs Millichap and the reception team xx
