Reception children have two lessons each day. The first is at 10am for those children who are learning to blend sounds together. The second is at 11am and is aimed at Reception children who can blend confidently.
Can you find fun ways to write your one arm robot letters? Can you write them using a stick in soil? Using your finger in shaving foam in a table? In salt on a tray?

Reception – Today you are drawing a map to retell the story from yesterday
Go on a walk around your garden or local area. What plants and trees can you see? Do you know any names of these flowers or trees? What are they like? Choose some of these to drawĀ or paint thenĀ label their features eg colour, leaves, shape of petals, size or texture (what it feels like). You might like to use the sheet below, but you will probably find many more things than are on here!
Reading:Ā There are activities on Reading Eggs set up for you today.
2. Spellings:Ā Access the link below for your year group and learn the set list.Ā You could print the handwriting sheet OR present it in your Homework Pack.
White Rose Maths activities can be found below.Ā I suggest you look at the activity sheets first and think aboutĀ what you already know.Ā ThenĀ watch the videoĀ which will help you with your understanding. Finally, complete the sheet then mark it but try and work out where any mistakes you made came from using the asnwers.
To access the related video, go to the usual White RoseĀ and find Week 6.
It has been a great start to the week and I hope you are all back into the swing of things at home; mixing a bit of work with a lot of fun!
Handwriting – Please can you write out the spelling words for this week but I would like you to do this in a volcano shape.Ā I suggest that you draw the outline of the volcano on a piece of paper and then add the words to fill the shape of the volcano.
Reading:Ā I haveĀ two different reading tasks for you today – year 2 and year 3 but the year 3 task is quite advanced.Ā Good luck!
Project:Ā Today, I have set a more time-consuming challenge which should take you two days.Ā I hope that you have enjoyed learning a little about volcanoes.Ā You will have learned about the various vocabulary that is used, and also made a diagram about the Earth’s insides.Ā Today, I would like you to get crafty again.Ā Your challenge is to make an animation of a volcanic explosion.Ā You can use either drawings, models or pictures but you have to find a way to sequence the images so that they look like an explosion happening.
Drawing Animation:Ā we once made a zeotrope in class – a sequence of drawings that were slightly different each time but when you looked at them quickly, they appeared to be moving.Ā Here is a short clip that shows you how to create an animation using sketches.Ā I don’t think you need to see the whole thing – you will remember about drawing each picture slightly different –
Picture animation:Ā you can use pictures in a sequence, if you are able to find a series of still photos of a volcano eruption, you can sequence them and do the same action of flipping the pages to show the movement.
Model animation:Ā This is a bit more time consuming and tricky – but I think it is also a lot more fun and a wonderful challenge.Ā If you can model a volcano from clay, playdough or other modelling material, you can make the animation using a phone camera.Ā You need to take each picture then move the model a small amount. You can use different coloured clay or play dough for the lava flow and make it drip down the side of the volcano slowly.Ā See what wonders you can create!
We have been asked if we can post the home learning tasks the evening before they are needed as well as on the day, so please see below for your Wednesday activities.

A quick thank you to Torin & his mum who notified me that they couldn’t find the classwork yesterday – I’m not sure if it was the same for everyone, apologies if so, but once they’d given me a quick heads up their problem was sorted. Please do give us a shout if there are any issues! We had a busy day in school yesterday – it was lovely to see all the teachers and TAs and talk about all of YOU! We very much look forward to your laughter and voices filling the classrooms again.Ā Mrs O says a huge ‘hello’ to each of you too! (She has curly hair and looked very glam!)

Geography:
Check out the Geography learning on Bitesize today which is all about weather and climate. This is particularly significant at the moment as we are experiencing such hot, dry weather – I believe May was the driest since 1896! It’s causing a huge amount of difficulties for farmers too;Ā the crops aren’t growing and the soil is desperately dry. As a task, could you present a weather videoĀ to teach your viewers what the weather has been like, the current situation and maybe even forecast what it’s going to be like this week? Good luck! (I always wanted to be a weather presenter when I was little!)
Have a great day – remember your suncream and hats!
