Home Learning Tuesday 30th June
admin on: Reception
Good morning everyone - It's Mr. H. again! Can you believe it is time for transition Tuesdays again?
First things first, I hope everybody is doing well and are staying safe.
I am currently writing this at home after taking Luna and Brego out for a walk and I got soaked wet!
Here is a small task for you to have a go at! Can you take on my number and alphabet challenges?
You get three minutes to write your numbers to 20 and try to get them all the right way around.
The same applies to the alphabet challenge, how many letters can you complete in three minutes whilst remembering to keep them the right way around?
Here are some photos for you!
This one is of Luna and Brego having a cuddle last week in the sun! Awww...
And this one is of Brego hiding his face behind his Christmas sloth toy!
Back to you Mrs. Oddy!

Warm up
Look at 2D and 3D shapes.
Look at a clock count round the numbers in order. What number does it start on? And finish on? Which number is at the bottom , top, left, right?
Look at the positions of the numbers.
Can the children work out what time we come to school? Lunch time? Home time? Bed time? May draw some pictures to help with the understanding of the passing of time. We use a time table in school. Children will focus on what is important to them. Lunch TIME!
The hands on a clock turn forward and never backwards except for in Autumn.
Children make their own clock face adding the numbers and the hands.
They then complete some o’clock ‘s.
Play what time is it Mr Wolf.
TOPIC
Explain to the class that they are going to listen to a story about a giraffe named Gerald, who gets teased because he is clumsy and unable to dance like the other animals. However, Gerald meets a special friend who helps him. Ask the children if someone has ever helped them learn how to do something new. How did they feel when they could not do what everyone else was doing? How did they feel once they learned how to do it? What did Gerald have to do in order to become a dancer? Is it important that everyone is able to do the same thing well? Ask the class why they think the author wrote this story. What did he want children to learn from Gerald's experience?
Children tell you things they are good or that they find tricky …. My super powers…
Make a spinning plate of Gerald. You will need 2 paper plates and a split pin.
PSHCE
Look at the word can’t.
Why do people say it?
If we sometimes try really really hard we can do things we didn’t believe we could.
Swim? Ride a bike? Read? What else.
Thank –you Mrs Oddy

I can't believe that another week has flown by already! We have been very busy learning about different animals like reptiles, mammals and birds, and even sneaked in a 'school trip' to our woodland area. Look at the post below to find out more about our trip!
Here are some photos from this week in our bubbles ...
Have a wonderful weekend and hopefully the sun will keep shining for us!

Our Trip!
admin on: Reception
This week we were meant to be going on our school trip to Butterfly World, so we brought Butterfly World to us!
Our wonderful key workers and the children in Reception created some beautiful animals across the week, then our brilliant team hid them in the woodland for the Reception children to find!
There were peacocks, crocodiles and even sloths to name just a few!
The children then gave socially distanced talks to the other bubbles about the animals they had been learning about throughout the week. The Red Dragons talked about reptiles, the Blue Whales talked about mammals and the Yellow Superstars talked about birds.
Both ourselves and the children had a brilliant time! Thank you to everyone who helped make it so special!
