Good Morning Reception!!
For the past two weeks we have been using the Julia Donaldson story ‘The Snail and the Whale.’ I want to read you the story, click my video at the bottom of the blog. Whilst you are listening to the story think about what your favourite part of the story has been.
Talk to your grown up or someone in your house about your favourite part of the story. Was it the beginning, middle or end? Remember to share your ideas in sentences.
Today I would like you to write and draw about your favourite part of the story. You can use this sheet attached to the blog or just do the work on a piece of paper.
Don’t forget to send in your photos/work to receptionhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Good Morning Reception!!
To start the phonics activity, I would like you to test yourself and see how many sounds and tricky words you know by playing the games below:
Flashcards Speed Trials – click on pick individual graphemes and choose all sounds in Phase 2 and the ones we have learnt in Phase 3 up to ‘or.’
https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/3/flashcards-speed-trials
Tricky word trucks – click on pick individual words and choose all Phase 2 and 3. Why not have a go at Phase 4 tricky words…
https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/3/tricky-word-trucks
Today we are going to practise the sound from yesterday ‘or.’ Sing along with the song at the bottom of the blog all about ‘or.’
Can you read these ‘or’ alien words? Get your grown up to time you…
Today’s practise and apply activities are:
Activity 1 – Target game. Print and cut out the words attached to this blog or write them on scraps of paper. Spread the words out in a space inside or outside of your house. Choose a ‘beanbag.’ It could be a pebble, soft toy, or anything small that you will be able to throw safely. Throw your ‘beanbag’ on a word and read it.
Activity 2 – Play 'or' roll and read.
Activity 3 – Make a ‘or’ work poster. Use the words you have learnt and put them into a colourful poster.
Activity 4 – Use four of the ‘or’ words from any of the activities above and write some super sentences.

Good morning,
Wow what a day! The weather forecast suggests it could get as hot as 26 degrees today! I can’t wait to get out there and enjoy it although I’ll definitely be putting on some sun cream!
Today’s activity is linked to kindness again and involves making a little present for either someone else or yourself. Today‘s challenge is to make an origami heart.
To start with you will need a square piece of paper and it will be easier to follow the instructions if it is decorated or coloured on one side.
Here is a YouTube video telling you how to make a square from an A4 piece of paper.

Then you have a choice of making 2 different hearts, one flat and one 3D. I made both and prefer the flat one and found it a bit easier but it’s up to you which you do.
Here is how to make the flat heart (my first picture) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnV262Egucw
Here is how to make the 3D inflatable heart (my second picture) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN4oPm9bCWE (then at the end you have to blow it up using the little hole at the bottom)
I can’t wait to see your hearts! Remember to e-mail them to EALhomelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk

Past challenges
I've really enjoyed reading about all your kind acts in your hearts from yesterday and I love how some of you are mentioning clap for carers in your kind acts for others! Here are the ones I've been sent:

Good Morning Reception!
Happy Wednesday – we are half-way through the week! J
Let’s begin our maths learning with a fluent-in-five!
This week in our maths blogs, we have been learning about how our numbers can be represented by using ‘tens frames.’ We can also use tens frames to help us with our addition and subtraction skills!
This morning I have posted a catchy ‘Tens Frame’ song at the bottom of this blog! Not only is it a great song, but it also tells us about a ‘counting on’ activity to play when using tens frames!
Today I have adapted this activity for you to take part in at home…we are going to be making our own tens frame! You could use different resources to make this, for example egg boxes, paper, lollipop sticks. To fill your tens frame, you could make your own counters if you do not have any at home or you could use any small objects instead! Your choice! Take a look at the different tens frames below…
