Activity for Reception and Nursery

I hope you enjoyed the story. I'm glad their Mummy came back at the end! Could you go outside today and make a bird's nest? You could go on a walk and take a bag to collect some natural materials.

    
                          

Phonics Reception

Find the sheet in your Phonics Pack with a pig at the top and the sentence 'Here is a ....'.
Fill in the words and colour the pictures. Afterwards, cut them out as cards, turn them upside down and play game of pairs with your grown-up. There is space under each word to extend the writing and add an extra sentence about the picture, for a challenge, e.g. 'Here is a pig. She is pink'. 
            

Watch this short song, to remind you of our new sounds 'oo and oo'. Try to read the words.


Perhaps you could have a try at writing or reading these 'oo' words?
 

Phonics Nursery

Our new 'sound of the week' is the 'm' sound. We make the sound by imagining we have our favourite meal in front of us! 'mmmm' (not 'muh').

Here is a video for you to watch and join in with.



Practise making your 'm' sound. Imagine you are eating your favourite meal and rub your tummy!

Go on an 'm' treasure hunt. How many of these things can you find that start with the 'm' sound in your house? Can you find spot any others?

        



Maths Reception and Nursery

We are going to be looking at Capacity and Volume this week, which is all to do with how much something like a tub, cup or bottle can hold, or how much space something takes up.
Can you have a play with some different containers in a washing up tub or when you have your bath tonight? Talk about which containers are full/empty, half-full or half-empty (depending on your outlook!). You could add some food colouring or bubble bath and pretend you are making a potion!

Keep up the good work everyone! Enjoy the rest of your day!

Take care and stay safe,
Mrs Todd and Mrs Hebblewhite xx
