3 Activities available today
Play the game,- I am thinking of a shape.
-Start to draw the start of a shape and your child has to guess what shape it is.
Start with the 2D then onto 3D. You can then swap over with your child.
-If Lego is available you need 5/6 bricks of two identical piles.
You build a small model with a few bricks. Your child has to copy it exactly. You then swap over, your child builds and you copy. (make a mistake and see if your child notices.).
-Challenge
Start with 5 identical bricks each a different shape and colour. Place a barrier between you and your child(large book).
One of you builds a small model without the other seeing.
You then describe the model to the other person and see if they can build an identical model by listening to your description.
Look out for misconceptions/incorrect use of language.
TOPIC- Add to your food diary
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Please explain to your child that most plants and berries in your garden are poisonous to humans.
They must NOT eat them they can make you very ill and sick. We can only eat vegetables that are safe.
Look at the power point of which parts of a plant we eat if available.
Which parts of a plant do we eat?
Have a look at a selection of vegetables and decide which are leaves, stems, flower or roots?
Sort some vegetables available to you into groups.
Which grow below ground or above ground?
Which have leaves or roots?
Super work today well done.

PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO SPONSOR OURSELVES.
WE HAVE RAISED HALF THE TARGET ALREADY.
Please see the link below for information on Netherthong Race for Life:
Thank -you so much for your support. I will be in school next Tuesday running round the field.
Mrs Oddy
Woof to you all!
admin on: Reception
I hope you are all ok and staying safe. I'm still staying at home. We are having fun and having extra cuddles here.
I had a really special weekend because it was my 10th birthday! Wow, I ate so many sausages! I had loads of balloons, a sausage cake and a dinosaur party with games! We even had dog music, my favourite. Lucky for me the weather was lovely and we got to have a picnic in our garden. I wore a party hat but only for a few minutes because it made my ears tickle. My family asked me to wait to open my presents until the morning and it was hard because I could sniff the tasty treats inside! Afterwards, I had a lovely long sleep and dreamt about running and barking to the hokey cokey. I enjoy that dance and know all of the moves.
I can't wait until I see you again at school and we can chat about our time staying at home and all the things we've done with our families. I hope you and your families are ok and hope to see you woofy soon.
Love and paws,

NUMBER – This week we are exploring pattern and shapes.
We touched on this last week with the African patterns.
Vocabulary: shape, flat, curved, straight, solid, hollow, corner, face, side, edge, end, cube, pyramid, cone, sphere.
Here is a fun activity to try. Kims game.
You need a selection of 3D shaped objects. Tin, box, tube, dice, pyramid could be tricky, ball.
Name them all then hide them all under a piece of material.
Take one away without your child looking. They then have to guess the missing shape and describe a features.
E.g I think it’s the cube it has 6 faces. It has 8 corners. It has 12 edges. It does not roll it slides.
Take it in turns.
Build with Lego. You might want to repeat one of Miss Hemingway’s Lego challenges.
-Mathseeds is available I have added a shape lesson this week.
TOPIC
Start a food diary writing down all the fruit and vegetables or food you eat this week.
Explain that this is called a list. e.g
Monday
Banana
apple
Salad- cucumber, lettuce, plum tomatoes
Potatoes, peas, carrots.
Don’t worry too much about spellings of the fruit and vegetables.
If this is available watch: The story of Oliver's Vegetables
by Alison Bartlett and Vivian French
Recite the days of the week.
Can you remember the order of the vegetables?
Monday-Carrots
Tuesday-Spinach
Wednesday-Rhubarb
Thursday-Cabbage
Friday-Beetroot
Saturday-Peas
Sunday-Potatoes
Talk about the different vegetables you have in your house/garden and find out which countries they might have come from if they are not grown in the UK.
Can you find these countries on a map?
Good work today well done.
Mrs Oddy.

Look at the powerpoint of how we collect cocoa beans from Africa and process them, to eventually make chocolate.
Then have a go at a chocolate recipe.
We (my children and myself) made rice crispy buns and chocolate chip scones!
There are so many discreet learning opportunities in cooking. Have fun!
Talk about weighing ingredients, melting of chocolate, where the ingredients have come from.
Have a good weekend and thank-you for all your continued support - I really mean that.
******************************************************************************
Next week we will be looking at the story Oliver's Vegetables and VE day, Victory in Europe. It is 75 years since the end of World War 2.
The week after the story will be Oliver's fruit.
The last week will be How to Grow a Sunflower and Van Gogh.
Then maybe the Bear Hunt!
If you have these books it will be good to dig them out or you may want to add them to your collection.
Vegetables mentioned in the story for next week are carrots, peas, cabbage, spinach, beetroot, potatoes, rhubarb.
If some of these are available next week that would be great.
