Homework in Reception -  Spring 1 

At the moment a lot of the homework will be set on the class page, rather than given out.

You do not need to print out the resources. You can just complete the activities on paper at home if this is easier. If you are able to, Mrs. Barnett and I would love to see the homework you have been doing on our Reception class blog. Details about how to post on the blog were given out in the Online Learning letter. Please let us know if you need any help with anything. Thank you. 

 Please complete the weekly and daily tasks 

There will be weekly tasks (10 minutes) - a Literacy/phonics and Maths activity to complete at home, but unfortunately at the moment you are unable to bring it in for it to be marked. As soon as this is possible, we will let you know. Please don't spend too long on this. At school we spend around 10 minutes on a focus task with an adult, no more than that.

In addition to this there are daily tasks (5 minutes). The daily tasks are quick 5 minute tasks to practise as much you can - reading your reading book and practising to read sound box sounds/words and high frequency words. Sound boxes will be practised in school and as soon as it is possible to send them home, we will.

Please go on the Sound box page for more information.

Again, please don't spend a long time on these tasks. It is just good to keep practising them as much as possible.

Online learning - please go on the websites as often as possible

 You will have received a letter about these websites with log in details. 

Home learning tasks - You don't have to complete these - an added extra...

Home learning tasks (linked to our topic) are an added extra that you may wish to complete, but you don't have to.  

These are suggested activities that you might want to do at home during this half-term, but you do not have to.

How to post on the blog - below...

 Weekly tasks - Week 1 - WC: Monday 4th January 2021 

Phonics review - an added extra!

If you have time this week or throughout this half-term, perhaps you could use the powerpoint/pictures below to practise all the sounds we have learned so far. Use your robot arms to practise saying the sounds and then blending them together to say each word. Maybe you could have a go at writing the words too.

Word building activity

1. Choose the correct sounds (you could colour them in or tick them).

2. Have a go at reading the word and then writing the word.

There is Microsoft word document of this task below that you can download if this is easier.

Handwriting

If you have time, maybe you could have a go at writing this sentence. This sentence uses all the letters in the alphabet, so it is a really useful one to help you practise letter formation.

Maths activity mat - Number bonds to 5

There is Microsoft word document of this task below that you can download if this is easier.

 Daily tasks 

The daily tasks are quick 5 minute activities that are important to practise on a daily basis.

Sound box - sounds and words

High Frequency words

 Online learning 

Use your logins to go on these websites as often as possible.

1. Active Learn is a tool for reading and the children have been allocated stage appropriate books that they can read online and then answer questions.
2. Numbots, part of the Times Table Rockstars website, is a site that focuses on addition and subtraction.

 Home learning tasks - Spring 1
