Reception Class Wednesday 10th June
"To the Parents and children of Reception Class.
Fill your life with adventures, not things.
Have stories to tell, not stuff to show."
This activity to complete over the week.
If you have some bottle top, please could you wite g h i j k l f G H I J K L 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?

Read and write these sounds- this that then
Words to learn for the week- a bed mat wet cat bath on it the

Don't forget the- high frequency words. Perhaps learn 3 or 4 a week and just keep recapping.

Numeracy
Keep these activities on the boil-
Counting to 20 and beyond
Forming numbers correctly
Identify numbers 10-20
Doubles to 10
Addition to 10
Days of the week
Subtraction to 10
Teen numbers
Recap from yesterday counting to 30 and beyond. How far can you count accurately? Correct errors. Count from different starting points.
All Children- Collect sticks and place them in bundles of 10. Also have some single sticks. You can use other materials- pencils, straws etc. Check you have 10 in each bundle and then tie them with string. Can you find 10 bundles? How many altogether? Remember to count in tens.
Most Children- Using some F/C numbers 10-20 that have been shuffled. Pick up 1 card and say for e.g. 13. Then choose 1 bundle and 3 individual sticks. Remember not to count the 10 in the bundle, but count on- 10, 11, 12, 13. Repeat with other numbers.
Challenge- As above, but use numbers 15-30
Topic- Over the week.
On your daily exercise can you take some paper and record some of the wild flowers that are appearing everywhere. I'm sure you even have some in your garden. There are ones that are easily identified such as dandelions and daisies. Can you sketch them and write the initial sound by the side? Perhaps you can help your child to find out their correct names? Hopefully by the end of the week you can name 10 wild flowers. Take some close up photos if you can, it will make a lovely display.
Creative- We will do this over 2 days, Wednesday and Thursday.
Let's paint like Kandinsky!!
Hopefully you have another lovely Kandinsky creation! Now we are going to get a piece of A4 paper or card and fold into either 4 or 8 rectangular spaces. Then paint each rectangle a different colour and allow to dry. Then in each rectangle, start with a small circle of paint and then surround with another colour until the rectangle is filled up with colourful, circular shapes. Voila, another Kandinsky creation.
Talk about the colours you have chosen. Are you choosing warm colours? Cold colours, or are you just choosing the colours you like? Can you mix some colours together to find a different shade of the same colour? Artists do his a lot. Hopefully next week you will be ready to make a Father's Day card or a card for someone you love in the style of Kandinsky. (Shhhhhhh).
Mindfulness
Reflection Pond
Sit mindfully with your spine straight and body relaxed- Close your eyes and take three soft, slow, mindful breaths.
Imagine you are in a forest with tall trees. You hear the birds chirping in the trees, and squirrels running across fallen leaves on the ground.
You are sitting in front of a small pond. The water is still. Look into the pond and see the reflection of the trees in the clear water. What else do you see? Do you see yourself reflected in the water too?
Imagine dropping a pebble into the pond. See the ripples in the water.
Keep watching, and when the water becomes still again, open our eyes.
Look for still water in the pond anytime you want to feel calm.
Weekly Welsh- Continue with the weather. But can you keep a diary of the weather in welsh. Draw a picture to accompany you weather pattern. For e.g. Monday Mae'n wyntog and draw a picture. Next week we will learn the days of the week in Welsh.
Sut mae'n tywydd? How is the weather?
Respond by saying- Mae'n bwrw glaw. It's raining.
Mae'n heulog- sunny
Mae'n cymylog- cloudy
Mae'n braf- fine
Mae'n Stormus- stormy
Mae'n oer- cold
