Can you draw a picture of your own alien and write some words (label) or write 1 or more sentences or write sounds that you know, using your phonics knowledge to describe what your alien looks like e.g. Big and red with spots and dots. Don’t forget to use ‘robot arms’ or ‘firework’ arms when sounding out words.

Maths – Mon-FriThis week we will focus on subtraction. In Reception children learn about different ways to subtract. We use objects such as toys, cubes, counters and food to practically subtract (take away). We model to the children how to write a number sentence for subtraction e.g. 10-3= and then when they are confident with subtraction, we encourage them to write their own number sentences. As children become more confident with using objects to subtract, they will then begin to use number lines.Activity time:Here are some ways that you can teach subtraction at home.
