A message from my teachers:

Hello Year R!

We hope you are all well and have been keeping safe over the past week. The weather is set to improve again this week so make sure you are staying safe in the sun!

This week we are looking at the story of ‘Sharing a shell’ by Julia Donaldson. We hope you have lots of fun with all of the activities and please don’t forget to send some photos and

updates to us via Tapestry or our class email address. It has been lovely to speak to many of you of the last week and we will resume our phone calls this week!

Keep up the good work everyone!

Key Learning:

Your child should be able to:

listen with attention and focus to the story ‘Sharing a shell.’

recall their favourite part of the story, giving a reason why this is their favourite part.

draw a picture of their favourite part of the story

hear and record sounds in words to write a simple sentence

This week we are going to focus on the story ‘Sharing a shell’ by Julia

Donaldson. You may have this book at home or you might want to

watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l42fh58uGoY

After you have watched or listened to the story, can you tell an adult

your favourite part? What happens? Why do you like this part? In

your home learning books, can you draw what your favourite part of

the story? Can you write a sentence about the part of the story you

like? You might want to write ‘My favourite part of the story is

when… OR I like it when…’

When you have finished reading or watching the story,

encourage your child to think about what happens in the

story. Can they use some of the pictures and retell the

story?

When they are completing their work in their home

learning books, encourage them to think about the shapes

and colours they are using to draw their favourite part.

As always with their writing, encourage them to sound out

and record the sounds in the words that they can hear.

They can use their sound mat to help them too!

Key Learning:

Your child should to be able:

to name 2D shapes

draw round and cut out shapes from paper

Can you use cut up paper to make a 2D shape picture? Look at the examples below. Talk about the properties of each shape and name them. Are any of your pictures

symmetrical?

Key Learning:

Your child should be able to:

use craft materials to create their own shell

Today we are going to make our own shell for a hermit crab to live

in using a paper plate (or a round piece of card/paper)

There is a picture of how you might like to make your design but

you can choose anyway that you wish! Enjoy and have fun!

For this activity your child can be as creative as they wish.

There are lots of ideas of Pinterest if you would rather them

make something else, entirely up to you and your child. They

can use a range of craft materials or they could draw a

design in their books.

Key Learning:

Your child should be able to:

double numbers

Can you use two buckets or bowls to investigate doubles with an adult? If you have shells or pebbles that would be great. Or you can draw and cut out shells, make them

in play dough or use dried pasta shapes as shells.

Roll a dice or call out a number. Place the number of shells in a bucket, then double it up! Add the two totals to together and then divide them again. Can you begin to

predict how many shells you have? Can you begin to call out doubles?

Key Learning:

Your child should be able to:

think about what is special to them and be able to discuss why

What would I carry in my shell?

Today we want you to think about the hermit crab from our story.

Where is his house? -He carries his house on his back! If you had a

shell for your home what things would you carry in there? What are

the most special things in your house that you would want to keep in

your shell? Using the template provided, can you draw a picture of

yourself holding the shell on your back and then inside the shell draw

three things that you would have to take with you in your shell. For

example, it might be your favourite teddy or your favourite book.

Talk to your children about the things that are most

special to them and the things they might not be able to

live without. Encourage your child to draw and colour

using the correct colours and think about the shapes they

need to use to draw their pictures carefully.

Communication.

Language and

Literacy

Key Learning:

Your child should be able to:

draw and label diagram of a creature that lives in a rock pool

use the internet or a book to find out some information about that creature

write some key facts about the creature using their phonic knowledge to hear and record sounds in words

write simple sentences

Today you are going to be a fact finder. We would like you to find out

some key information about crabs (or another creature from a rock

pool!) Can you create a fact file about your chosen creature? Can you

draw a picture at the top of your page and label the different parts

of its body. Then underneath could you tell us some facts about the

creature? You could think about where it lives, what it eats, how it

moves, you could describe what it looks like.

This sounds more complicated that it actually is. The

information they children write can be really simple if you

find it difficult to find information on the internet or in a

book. You could watch a little video and get the children

to compose a sentence about what they see. E.g. The crab

has pincers.

understand how their behaviour could impact on how their friends might be feeling

Today we would like you to think about sharing. Ask an adult to look

at the PowerPoint called ‘Sharing is caring.’ They will ask you some

questions about what the different characters should be doing. Can

you think of a time when you were kind and shared something with

someone else?

You could draw a picture in your home learning book of some of the

things that you can share at school or at home. Could you write a

sentence telling us what you are good at sharing? We know all of Year

R are good at sharing!

If you could work through the PowerPoint with your child

encouraging them to think carefully about how their

actions might affect other people with a particular focus

on sharing.

There is a sharing song you might like to sing with your

children too – the words can be found with the planning

and the words fit to a well-known tune. You might like to

video your child singing!

Key Learning:

Your child should be able to:

investigate money and coins

Play ice cream shops. Can you paint or make some ice creams or even use real ice lollies from the freezer. Make some coin rubbing or use real coins to pay for them. As

a challenge can you draw your ice lolly or ice cream creations and record how much they cost using 1p coins? Can you use 2p or 5p or 10p?

Phonics In Reception we have covered all sounds in Phase 2 (check the sound mats sent home-all orange sounds and are working through set 3).

In Phase 2, letters and their sounds are introduced one at a time. A set of letters is taught each week, in the following sequence:

Set 1: s, a, t, p

Set 2: i, n, m, d

Set 3: g, o, c, k

Set 4: ck, e, u, r

Set 5: h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss

As soon as each set of letters is introduced, children will be encouraged to use their knowledge of the letter sounds to blend and sound out words.

In Phase 3 we have covered:

Set 6: j, v, w, x

Set 7: y, z, zz, qu

Consonant digraphs: ch, sh, th, ng

Vowel digraphs: ai, ee

Vowel digraphs and trigraphs covered at home: igh, oa, oo, ar, or.

Begin each phonics session by revisiting all sounds covered so far using sound mats and websites, look for songs on you tube and objects in your home. Then introduce

the next set of sounds, take your time with the new sounds as they are trickier that the early one in set 2.

Use the links in the resources section to help you introduce, recap and introduce the next set.

The next set to introduce and cover are as followed: ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er.

Even though there are 2 or three letters in each new phoneme only one sound is made. These are called digraphs (one sound made of two letters) and trigraphs (one

sound made of three letters)

Look at the letters and sounds website for more detail.

http://www.letters-and-sounds.com/phase-3.html

When these sounds are covered, we have completed all sounds needed. The next step is blending them to read and write.

Phonics 1

Play quickwrite graphemes.

Give your child a piece of paper and a pencil. Tell them that you are going to say a grapheme and you want them to write it on their paper. Say a grapheme. Can they

write the sound they can hear? ai, ee, oa, ar, or, oi, b, h, k, l, s, t, a

Reading high frequency words.

Using the link Watch Tricky Words Song

End by attempting to read:

Can a duck quack?

Is rain wet?

Phonics 2

Practise letter names – alphabet song.

Using one of your child’s teddy tell them that he is very

hungry but he can only eat words that have digraphs in them.

Have the words on the right on pieces of paper (peep, chip,

fish, wing, moth, night, coat, zoom, park)

Sound talk a word and ask if they can find this word to feed

to their teddy. (p-ee-p, ch-i-p, f-i-sh, w-i-ng, m-o-th,

n-igh-t, c-oa-t, z-oo-m, p-ar-k)

Reading Tricky Words. Play ‘Racing Words’.

Display the tricky words (I, the, no, go, he) outside if

possible, if not then in different areas of a room. Say a

word and your child needs to get to that word as quickly as

they can.

Phonics 3

Warm up:

Hold phoneme cards from all sounds so far or use the Mrs

Glass link on Tapestry to revisit these sounds Can the

children say the letter name and its sound?

Play full circle - See image for example

Start by asking your child to write the word ship. Once they

have written this ask them to change it to write the word

chip. Repeat this process for the words chin, thin, than,

can, cash, rash, rang, ring, rip, ship.

End by attempting to read:

Has a fox got six legs?

Can a boat sail?

Phonics 4

Show the digraphs- igh

Using the link below play the Phase 3 digraph game - Listen

to the word being read then choose the word with the

correct digraph.

igh link

Phoneme frame:

Using the example below, show your child how to use a

phoneme frame

Using the images on the right can they create a phoneme

frame ensuring that they write the initial, middle and end

sounds in the correct place?

Phonics 5

Show the children six sentences and three pictures on the

right. Can they read the sentences and find out which of

these six sentences matches a picture?

A ¶b]a[t ¶i[n ªa ¶b]ox.

Other possible activities:

Harry the Hermit Crab

Harry the Hermit Crab doesn’t live in the sea, he lives in the aquarium at

LEGO LAND!

In the sea, Hermit crabs need their shells to protect them from being

eaten or being hurt. Harry outgrew his old shell and needed a new one to

move into, so Lego Land made him his very own shell from lego! Have a look

at the video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVBbcebE_Us

Can you design Harry his own Lego shell? You could use Lego bricks

or any construction toys you have at home. – We’d love to see your

designs on Tapestry!

What a catch!

Using cardboard tubes, paper cups or junk modelling. Can you build and decorate creatures you might find in a rock pool?

Then using a stick, some string and a pipe cleaner for a hook, you can make your own fishing rod ( you may need an adults help for that

bit.)

Now try to catch some of your sea creatures with your rod! – Don’t forget to add some hoops made of cardboard of pipe cleaner onto

your sea creatures to help you hook them with your fishing rod! –

I am a Crab!

Can you explore moving like a crab? How do they walk? What do they use to pick things

up with?

With your adult, can you try to pick different things up like a crab?

You might like to make your own crab claws using paper plates/card, the template we

have attached might help.

You could use your claws to practice picking things up like a crab!
