Welcome to day 2. 

Good Morning Reception, 

Here are your challenges for home learning today: 

Phonics: 

Todays sound is ‘w’. 

You say: ‘w’ 

They say ‘w’ 

Repeat. 

You say ‘w – w – w – worm’ 

They say ‘w - w -w – worm’ 

Show them the picture of the Read Write Inc ‘w’ (see blog post picture. You can also find this on your Chilton Handwriting Patter sheet.) Tell your child the patter ‘down the worm, up the work, down the worm, up the worm.’ Have your child practice writing it in the air. Now they can practice writing a line of ‘w’s on their writing sheet. We recap 2 handwriting patters every day. Today our recap sounds are ‘e’ and ‘f’. Again, please refer to your handwriting patter sheet. Now it is time to practice oral blending. 

You say ‘w’ ‘e’ ‘t’. 

They say ‘wet’. 

You say ‘w’ ‘e’ ‘t’ ‘yes’ 

They say ‘w’ ‘e’ ‘t’ ‘wet’ 

Repeat with the words ‘wit’ and ‘web’. 

Now they can practice writing those words onto the yellow lines. 

Please see your home learning resource pack for the handwriting patters, sounds and phrases and red words. 

Don't forget to read your book or access some of the online reading links. 

We follow the Read Write Inc scheme of work from Ruth Miskin. RWI are making speed sound videos which are available for 2 hours every day from 9.30. This would be a great way of starting your phonics lesson. Please see link - https://www.ruthmiskin.com/en/find-out-more/help-during-school-closure/ 

Maths: Please cut out some squares of paper and make number cards to 20. Encourage your child to use the number line to support with number recognition. 

Challenge: Can you use the flash cards to practise your number recognition? 

 

Topic: 

Today in topic, we would like you to watch the Supertato story with your child and discuss the key events. After this please encourage your child to make their own Supertato character from junk modelling, or a real potato! Supertato: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8VmnyYeBnU 

 

Challenge: Write a simple sentence to describe your model. Please encourage your child to try to sound out the words themselves where possible.
