Activity
Have a go at playing the memory game with a friend. Turn over two cards, and if they are the same - you get to keep them! Can you spot what the number is on the card without counting?

Story time
It's story time before maths today. That's because we are going to talk about the story 'Kipper's Toy Box' by Mick Inkpen in our session.
Maths
Activity
Count out some toys into a box. Ask a helper to take one toy out while you are not looking. Can you spot who is missing?!
What happens to the number of toys when you take them out and put them back in? Ask your helper to sometimes add 1, and sometimes take one away from different amounts of toys.
Here's my toys getting ready to explore 1 more and 1 less! (Do you recognise anyone?) I recorded what happened in different ways.
Phonics
Today we're recapping the sound /b/. When we're learning to read and write, sometimes we can get muddled by the sounds /b/ and /d/! Take a look at the picture below...how might this picture help you remember which is which?! Have a go at drawing the bed, and then forming the b and d over the top of your drawing.
Please watch the video below that contains important information about what to include in your child's observations.
Please note - the expectation for reception is that the children's parents and carers upload their learning at least twice a week. Thank you (and well done!!) for all the support you continue to give your children with accessing the blog. I can see that all children and families are really trying their best during this tricky time. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any support with uploading your child's learning, or with any other questions regarding the blog or the activities set. Lucy - vpsreceptionclass@virginia.towerhamlets.sch.uk ~ Book Swap Reminder ~Parents are invited to come to school to collect on Thursday between 1 - 3pm.
