Things are very different for all of us, but that is ok, we know that what we are doing is best for us and our families. Because of the way that the adults are having to work at school they will not be able to contact you all so much as they have in the past – but they will still be looking at all the lovely things you do, if you are able to put them on Tapestry or send in an email. If you have any general queries or specific questions about the home learning please send them to homelearningew@rosecroft.schoolWe hope that you are all keeping well and finding the learning suggestions helpful. We have added some more information about Oak National Academy for those of you who fancy doing a bit more or trying some different things. Every week they have daily online video lessons for you to enjoy and join in with: you can pick and choose. we are learning this week, let us all do our best to have fun, try our best, keep safe and keep others safe too. With love from all the Reception adults.Things to do every dayReading - Share a book together. It can be any book at all, but children are more likely to have a try at reading some of it themselves if they like the book. Favourite books that you have been reading to your child may be a good way to entice them to read. Please support them in reading the words and telling them ones which they get stuck on. You would be surprised how well children can make very sensible guesses of words when they can say some of the sounds and also know the story. Most of all make this a pleasurable time that you can share together.Phonics – When you are talking to your grown-ups give them a challenge to see if they can understand the words you are saying. For example, instead of saying “Can I have a cup of milk?” use your sounds for some of the words e.g. “C-a-n I h-a-v a c-u-p of m-i-l-k?”. I’m sure that your grown up would love to join in with talking like this too. Can you tell what they are saying?Number - This week it would be fun to try doing some addition. Use your number cards and a few objects like toy animals or even pieces of pasta. Pick 2 number cards, put the correct number of objects with each number, add the object together to see how many you have got. If you want a challenge why don’t you see if you can write down the equation (number sentence) using the symbols + and =. Target practice - OUTSIDEYou may have seen a whale in real life or in a film or television programme. If you have, I expect that you noticed that they seem to spray water out of their blowhole. It is not actually water, but warm air from inside the whale that turns to water when it meets the cold air outside of the whale. For our target practice you will need a clean squeezy bottle (washing up liquid, ketchup, shampoo etc) filled up with water. All you need to do is to choose your target, maybe a chalk target on the ground or a bucket, take aim and squirt with water, doing your best to hit the target. The better you get, move further away from the target. You may also want to be more like a whale and see how high you can squirt. 26384254635500We’re going on a snail hunt. We’re not scared!Snails leave the most amazing trail behand them, have you seen them? It is a silvery trail that glistens in the sunlight.When you are outside, either in a garden or as you go for exercise, look out for these trails and look for the snails that made them. Somehow the snails seem to be able to find a place to hide without being at the end of their trail.When you have found the snail, have a close look at it, don’t pick it up unless your grown up says you can.Look at the little details of its shell, you might like to draw the shell. How many different snails can you find?Fact finding missionDecide that you are going to have fun.Decide if you want to find out about whales or snails.Decide how you are going to record the facts you find out. You may want to make a poster, make a list, make an information card (a bit like top trumps), make a non-fiction book of your own, maybe even make a video. I am sure that you will have different ideas of your own. Do your research (find out facts). For this you can look at books, ask other people, use google, look on cbbc for programmes about nature.Record and illustrate (draw pictures) if you wish.234315032194500Share your facts with your family. I’m sure that they will be amazed. Healthy hugsWe all have so many ways of showing people how we feel or that we love them or are pleased to see them. But at the moment we have to be extra careful how we do it. This lesson gives us lots of ideas about healthy ways to express our feelings. This week, maths is based on the book ‘The Snail and the Whale’ by Julia Donaldson. All the activities can be done without the book but if you would like to read it and do not have a copy, you can access one here: daily lessons can be found at Scroll down to Summer Term week 6 (w/c 1st June). There you will find the daily videos to watch.

Resources you need: 1 paper plate, 1 stick, paper, scissors, colour pencils/pens or paint, glue/tape, and your imagination.I am sure that you can use your amazing skills and knowledge to make this, but just ask an adult if you are not sure or get stuck.
