Good morning Reception !
I can't believe this is the last blog post of the school year :( Well done to every single one of you for all of your fantastic learning. You have been so brave during this time, you should be very proud of yourselves, we are definitely very proud of you. Please spend this day celebrating yourself and everything you have achieved this year. We hope you all have a brilliant summer. Stay safe, be kind and have fun! From Lucy, Faheema, Yumi and Aysha

Good morning!
Today, let's recap the sound /or/
Now practise reading the /or/ sound with this 'Roll and Read' game.
Take turns to roll the dice and read a word in that line! You can use a dice or a dice generator like this if you don't have one. https://www.random.org/dice/?num=2 
For maths, once you've shuffled and reordered your cards 1 - 20, practise your doubling and halving learn-its!
Now play snake and ladders. Print or copy the board to play. You can use the dice generator if you need!
Good morning Reception :)
Today we are practising the /oo/ sound. Watch the video below. Can you write a sentence using the /oo/ words?
Maths!
Use this balloon popping game to practise ordering numbers 1 - 20. For a challenge, start at 20 and order greatest (biggest) to smallest! https://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/earlymath/BalloonCount20.htm 
Good morning Reception!

Have you ordered your number cards today?! Now count in odd numbers and exercise with Jack! What odd numbers can you see around your home? Can you form each odd number correctly?
Good morning Reception.
It's the last week of term! I can't wait to see everyone this afternoon for our transition meetings :) 
For phonics today we're recapping the air sound.
Last week in reception we read the story 'Cats Ahoy!' by Peter Bently and Jim Field. Watch the story below.
Can you recreate some of the role play props we made?!
For maths, start by shuffling and reordering your cards 1 - 20! Can you test your 'one more' and 'one less' skills?!
Now take a look at this video on counting in odd numbers! Watch the video and sing along. Use the number square below to high light all the odd numbers!
Good morning!  Today let's listen to another Nick Butterworth story, 'One Springy Day' For phonics, log in to Espresso and recap the /qu/ sound. https://central.espresso.co.uk/espresso/primary_uk/subject/module/video/item82441/gradef/module61932/index.html  After you have ordered numbers 1 - 20, practise counting, matching and ordering numbers with this ladybird game! https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/ladybird-spots  Good morning Reception! Look at these moments from our story 'After the Storm'. Think carefully about each picture. What is happening? What had happened before? What will happen next? What do you think the characters are saying to each other? Choose one of the pictures, and then write a sentence for one of the speech bubbles. If you want a challenge, write in more than one speech bubble!
Start maths by shuffling and reordering your numbers. As a challenge, can you start with 20 and order them from greatest (biggest) to smallest? How long did that take you?!  This could be a great time to think about one less! Each time you select the next number you can ask 'What's one less than ...' For example, 'What's one less than 13....?? 12!' For a challenge you could ask, 'What's 13 takeaway 1?' and then write the number sentence 13 -1 = 12 Have a go at these subtraction problems below. (Make sure you order your number line from 1 - 20 again before you start! Then you can use it to count backwards to solve the subtraction problems!)  Good morning Reception! Look carefully at the events from After the Storm. Print out the pictures and put them in the correct order. What happened first? What happened next? What happened in the middle and how did the story end?  When you have ordered them, write a sentence for each picture to retell the story.  Jumble up and reorder your number cards to 20! How quickly can you do it now?! Take a look at these addition challenges below...how will you solve them?   Good morning Reception! Log in to espresso to recap the /y/ sound! https://central.espresso.co.uk/espresso/primary_uk/subject/module/video/item82450/gradef/module61932/index.html  Say the word, robot the word, write the word!  (For parents: wax, yak, zip, van) Can you use each word in a sentence? Maths! Use this balloon popping game to practise ordering numbers 1 - 20. For a challenge, start at 20 and order greatest (biggest) to smallest! https://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/earlymath/BalloonCount20.htm 
This week, we'll be reading stories by the author Nick Butterworth. Here are some of his stories, have you read any of them?!  Watch Nick read one of his stories 'After the Storm' below! Talk about the different weather you hear about in the story. Are we having similar weather now? What's your favourite type of weather? Is there any weather you don't like? Why? What season do you think the story takes place in? Is it Summer? Winter? Autumn? Spring? How do you know? What month might it be?! If you're not sure, take a look at Espresso and explore the 'seasons' section. Watch the videos and complete the activities. https://central.espresso.co.uk/espresso/primary_uk/subject/module/frontscreen/item1162014/grade1/index.html?source=search-all-all-all-all&source-keywords=seasons  Practise saying the months of year again!
