Reception Class Monday 4th May
To the Parents and children of Reception Class.
Share your calm, share your strength, and share your laughter with your children. No children are ahead and no children are behind. Your children are exactly where they need to be.
"The best way to appreciate something is to be without it for a while."
Don't forget there is Storytime every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with Nick at 2pm. This is on the RWI site.
In preparation for VE Day, I will plan some activities to celebrate this important day- Friday 8th May

Numeracy
Shape
Draw these shapes for your child- square, rectangle, triangle, pentagon, hexagon and a circle. Talk about how many sides and points each shape has. What is the difference between a square and a rectangle?
All Children- Play shape detectives. Find as many rectangles, squares, circles and triangles in your home and outside. Draw them in your book and label them with support from an adult.
Most Children- Use natural materials to create as many shapes as you can.
Challenge- Feely Box. Place some shapes into a box and encourage your child to feel the shapes and tell you what shape they think it is. Repeat with all the shapes. Perhaps then an adult could describe the shape and your child could name the shape.
Topic
Rationing food during the war.
Discuss with your child some of the foods that were in short supply during the war- butter, sugar, bacon, ham, cheese, jam, meat, eggs, milk, tea, sweets, breakfast cereals etc. Which food would you miss the most? There wasn't any big supermarkets so you had to visit several shops to buy your food. What different shops do you think they had?
Creative
Make a hat to wear on VE Day out of newspaper. See instructions on https://bletchleypark.org.uk
Yoga
Boat
I sit tall and hug myself- Hug your knees, feet on the ground.
I lean back- Put your arms behind your back, toes pointed.
I am strong enough to leave the land- Lift up your legs.
I float on the water- Stretch out your arms and balance.
In boat pose, feel and engage[DM1] your core, right in your belly. When you think you can't keep holding the pose, stay for 2 more breaths, and see what happens.
Weekly Welsh
Following on from last week-Think about the foods you would like to eat to celebrate VE Day.
Beth wyt ti'n hoffi? (What would you like?).
Answer dw i'n hoffi……… (I like….)
Make a list of the foods. Draw them and write the names of food. Try to use initial sounds or part of the word.
