Good Morning everyone, I hope you all had a lovely weekend,

Today's star of the blog is Sophie! Sophie has been doing lots of great learning at home, she has created the paper she is holding by a painting technique called marbling, well done Sophie it looks great! 

Are you doing PE with Joe's wife Rosie, this morning, Joe has been in hospital after an operation on his arm so he won't be doing the workout today. Maybe you are exercising on your bikes, on your trampoline or going for a walk!

Phonics (reading and spelling)

Reception and Year 1 children If you would like to do a page in your phonics workbooks (the ones made by CGP) please do so. 

Don't forget to watch the episodes of Alphablocks on CBeebies to help you learn your sounds too. 

Please try to spend 10 minutes (or more if you would like to) on a phonics activity to keep making your brains bigger and reminding yourself how to read and spell sounds. You can go on https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk or Teach Your Monster To Read https://www.teachyourmonstertoread.com (which is also available as an app).

 

Reading and Responding

Please look at the plans I sent to you on Friday for this today's activities ...

Reception - Big, Bad Bugs!  Choose one of your lovely activities to do.

Year 1 - The Highway Rat by Julia Donaldson. Today you are asked to create a fact file about rats. If for any reason you don't want to research and create a fact file about rats (I say this as some people don't like them) then you could choose any animal you like and write a fact file about them instead. Or you could write a recount about something great that happened over the weekend. Or simply choose your own writing to do, maybe you want to write a story or a diary entry, anything you like! Just make sure you remember those capital letters and full stops.

Year 2 - Recipes. Today you are going to read a selection of recipes and then choose one to follow and make the food! You have to decide what makes the recipe easy to read.

 

Maths
