Reception Class Wednesday 3rd June
To the Parents and children of Reception Class.
"Every situation in life is temporary.
So when life is good, make sure you enjoy and receive it fully.
And when life is not so good, remember that it will not last forever and better days are on the way."
Jenni Young
This activity to complete over the week.
If you have some bottle tops, please could you write a b c d e f A B C D E F on each top, then have a go during the week to match the small case letter to the capital letter. Explain to your child that they have a capital letter at the beginning of their name and when we write a sentence. Can you think of anyone that has one of these letters at the beginning of their name?
Literacy,
Mrs Garbett
Speed set 2 sounds are- ay ee igh ow oo ar or air ir ou oy
I know we have completed these sounds 3 times, but it is really important that these sounds are embedded. So your child can read, write and spell words with these sounds. There is plenty of time to complete speed set 3 sounds after speed set 2 sounds are completely embedded. However we will be writing more complex sentences and reading additional tricky words.

Topic
Fitness- Diary
In preparation for Sports Day, can you create a fitness diary over the week? Encourage your family to join in too. In your book you can write- On Monday I like to run. On Tuesday I like to hop. On Wednesday I like to jump etc. Draw some pictures of what you like to do. What exercise are you looking forward to doing after Lockdown? Try to spell as many words as you can on your own.
Creative- We will do this over 2 days, Wednesday and Thursday
I hope you have found out some interesting information about Kandinsky. The shapes he was most interested in were the circle, triangle and the square. Can you remember how many sides these shapes have? Which is you favourite shape? I like the triangle as it is the only shape that has 3 sides. Perhaps you could look on youtube to see some of Kandinsky's abstract paintings. Can you see how colourful they are? Can you identify any shapes in his paintings?
Let's paint like Kandinsky!!
Get a big piece of paper and encourage your child to create circles of various sizes. Colour the circles in. You can use paint, felts, chalks, pastels or anything really. Cut out the circles and glue the smallest circle over the biggest one to create a layering of circles. Each circle should have about 3/4 layers of different colours. Take your time doing this, it doesn't have to be done in one day as you child will become fed up.
Mindfulness
Animal Friend- do this outside.
Settle down and relax. Close your eyes. Breathe in love and breathe out worry…
The sun is shining, birds are singing. You hear a rustling in the bushes and then a giggle. It's an animal watching you and it wants to be your friend. What kind of animal is it? Let it come close so that you can sit together and be close. This animal is wise and hear to support you. If you have a question, a secret or a problem you can share it with him. He will help you. Your animal friend loves you very much.
