Reception children On a Thursday afternoon in class, Reception children would have ‘Child Initiated Play’. That means that the children can choose an activity from a range of tasks including those that have been selected and prepared for them. Child initiated play supports children’s development in many ways, including language, mathematical, creative and imaginative learning and developmental skills. It also enables them to learn from first hand experiences, encouraging them to choose how to use their resources and to find and put away the things they want to use.

Good Morning Hedgehogs! I hope that you’ve all had a lovely weekend and that you have managed to do lots of lovely things with your families at home. This week we are going to be moving onto TEAMS for our learning which I am really excited about as it means that we can see each others faces and have a chat albeit online. Please bear with us as we all get used to this new way of learning. We will be having our first video call today at 9.25am. If you’re struggling to join us, please let us know ASAP and we’ll try and help you as quickly as we can. I’ve attached a suggested timetable below which outlines our video call times for today and how you might like to fit your learning around those.

Afternoon Activities
Reception – Think of some questions that you would like to find out the answer to about Transport this term. Ask an adult to share these questions with me on Tapestry and I’ll plan some activities to help you find out what you want to know.
Year 1 – Science – In science this term, we were going to be learning all about materials including how to describe different materials scientifically, how to sort and group materials, how to test materials and what different materials are used for.
Collect some objects made from different materials from around your house (e.g. wooden clothes peg, plastic clothes peg, rubber, metal paper clip, cardboard, pebble, foil, plastic toy, piece of fabric, duster, sponge). Handle to objects and describe them. What are the objects made from? You could either talk about this or draw the object and label it with what material it is made from.
Go on a materials hunt around your house and record what you have found using the sheet attached. If you are unable to print at home, you can write your own headings and make a list of what you found under the relevant one.

2.30 – You are more than welcome to join us at 2.30 on TEAMS for an end of the day catch up, for the children to have the opportunity to share anything that they have done with us and for me to read them a story to end the day if you would like to.
Make sure that you take as many breaks as you need to throughout the day. This is a strange and potentially difficult time for us all and you need to look after yourselves. If you need any help with anything, please let us know and we’ll do whatever we can to help you. You can contact us via the school office, email address or via the “Ask for Help” channel on TEAMS.
Looking forward to seeing you all!

Hello Hedgehogs!
Hopefully we will begin today with a TEAMS meeting at 9am so that we can all say hello to one another.
I hope you had a good day yesterday and enjoyed the tasks I set for you. Remember, as long as you are trying your best I will be very pleased! We know that learning at home is very different to learning at home, so try not to worry if you’re not sure or can’t do something. I’m still here to help so please ask your parents to let me know if you’re struggling. All of the activities are there for your parents to support you with, and they can adapt them to suit you and your needs if they would like to.
Please find below your tasks and activities for today. If you need a workbook to do these in please let us know and we will put one out for you to collect from school. You DO NOT need to print the worksheets, all of the activities can be done using the sheets as a guide and then do the work in your book. If you can put some photos on to Tapestry for me to see what you have been doing that would be wonderful!
You can email me on a Thursday and Friday too if you need anything explaining – johnson.s@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk.
Keep safe and see you soon!
Mrs Johnson
English
In our book of the week, we are finding rhyming words and making lists of other words that rhyme with them too.
Can you make a list of words that rhyme? How many words can you think of for each list? They can be real or nonsense words, as long as they rhyme with the first word in the list!
Red group – please do cat, dog and pen on page 1.
Purple Group – please do pages 1 and 3.
Green group – please do pages 2 and 4.
Yellow and Orange Group – You have a rhyming word jigsaw today. You might also like to make a list of other words which rhyme with each piece. Rhyming word jigsaw
Maths
Red Group – Please practice forming your numbers to 5 Numbers to 5 formation
Purple Group – Our work today is all about finding ‘one more’.Play this game using a dice and a coin for a counter. You can make it harder by using two dice and adding dots to each square to create bigger numbers! One More Than Game
Green group – Use the blank and shaded number sticks to help find different ways of making 20. The final sheet is for those children who would like a challenge!
Orange and Yellow Group – Can you find the number bonds to 20 using the part part whole model? The whole is 20, and one part has been given to you. Can you find the other part so that the whole is 20? If you would like a challenge, there is an extension sheet too.
Part part whole number bonds to 20
Phonics
Red Group – Please practice writing your name and learn about the letters in it and the sounds they make.
Purple Group – Can you read these nonsense words? Phase 2 nonsense words
Green group – Sort the ‘er’ words in to real words and nonsense words Phase 3 er words
Yellow and Orange Group – read the words and see if you can break each word down into smaller parts (syllables) for example thundering is thun, der and ing Polysyllabic words
History
In history we are going to be finding out about Henry Ford. In your work this week, can you find some pictures of Ford cars? Either draw them or print some out to glue in your workbook. Look at this information about Henry Ford. Afterwards, can you tell an adult something you remember about him and what he did?
Geography
We are going to be finding out about North America over the next few geography lessons. Using a globe, map or the internet, can you find North America? Where is it? Where is it near? Is it big or small? Have you heard of any of the big cities there, or any famous American people?
Is North America where you live? Can you find England on a map or globe? Make a little booklet to show where you live. You can include the name of your country (UK and England), roughly where abouts you are in that country (i.e Shropshire). Draw a picture of your house and say what the name of the town/village you live in is called. Draw a picture of the people you live with and say who they are. You can use this booklet if you would like to. Where am I on the map
Reading
Choose a lovely book and snuggle up with an adult or your favourite teddy/doll. Share the book together and talk about what happened in the story. Look carefully at the pictures – what is happening in each picture? Can you use them to retell the story in your own words? Choose five words from the story and learn to read them by sounding out, or know if they are tricky words and cannot be sounded out.
Hello Hedgehogs
Your spellings for the week are at the bottom of this page. You can use the sheet provided to practise your words, but don’t forget that you can have fun learning the words at home too. Here are a few ideas…
• Pairs: Create a double set of the words your child is finding tricky. Pick up two cards at a time until they find a pair. Can they verbally spell it out to you?
• Flip, Read, Letters and Write: Your child can learn their spellings in 4 quick steps. Have the child flip over a card, read it, spell out the letters and then write it down.
• Trace, Copy, Recall: Fold a piece of paper into three columns and label them trace, copy and recall. Write the word in the first column and have your child trace it. Next, get them to copy the word in the next column by looking back at the letters. Finally, get them to fold and hide the first two columns and practise writing the word in the final column.
• Pocket Cards: Make small cards to keep in your pocket or bag and when you are walking to school, making breakfast or sitting in the park ask your child to spell the words to you.
• Spelling Word Race: Create two teams with a player from each team taking the ‘pen’ at a time. Someone calls out the word and the two players race to write the word first.
• Spelling Puzzle: Make a home-made puzzle by writing the words in large on a piece of card. Get your child to cut it up and then can they piece it back together again?
• Stairs: Write the words as if they are stairs, adding one letter each time: S, Sp, Spe, Spel, Spell
• Chalk: If you have any chalk (and don’t mind getting your patio or the pavement a bit messy) get your child to write the words on the ground and then the rain will wash it away.
• Water Paint: Use water and a paintbrush to water paint the spelling words. On a sunny day the words disappear quickly so they need to paint fast! With a computer or tablet:
• Type it out: Open up a document to type on. Call out the word for your child to spell. They can then play around with the word; increase the font size, change the colour etc.
• Voice record: Using a recording device have your child spell out the word and get them to listen back.
