Hello Reception, we hope you are all okay and remembering to wash your hands lots. We hope you are trying to do a little bit of work from your packs each day and remembering to read. It doesn’t have to be your school reading book it can be anything at all that has words. Don’t forget the Oxford owl website (link is in your pack and on our last blog) has hundreds of books for you to read. If you read one get an adult to write in in your reading diary as a record. Look for the right age band – if they are too tricky go to the age band below.

We know it is a scary time at the minute but please listen to your mummies and daddies as they are trying to keep you safe. Get outside if you can, in your back garden or for a walk with a grown up. Enjoy your time at home and learn how to do some of the things around the house that your not able to do yet like: make your bed, help make breakfast and lunch, help to wash up, help to tidy your toys and your room.

Get your day off to a lovely start with Joe Wicks on You Tube. He is doing fun P.E sessions each morning at 9.00. Join in and get ready for your day. We will be joining in at school and at home too.

We miss you all and are looking forward to seeing you all when this is all over. If you want to join in rainbow eye spy then draw a rainbow and put it in your window for people to spot when they go out on their walks. We will look out for them when we go walking for our bit of exercise each day and hopefully it will bring a smile to everyone’s faces.

We look forward to seeing you all soon, stay safe and take care,

The Reception Team x x x

We have put together and sent home with your child a pack for you to do during the time of this forced school closure. There is a range of different activities that reinforce some of the learning your child has been doing in school. Please use the exercise book provided to record any extra work and activities your child does at home. Draw pictures, write sentences, stick in photos and any other fun activities you do over the time off.

We would also like your child to do a small project all about Spring. They could draw pictures, write simple sentences, cut out pictures from magazines or print from the internet. There isn’t any particular format for this we are excited to see different projects and will display some up and around the classrooms.

You can find a wide variety of extra resources at www.twinkl.co.uk/offer

 with the code uktwinklhelps Twinkl have very kindly removed any subscription cost for parents while schools are closed.

You will also find a wide range of age appropriate games online at:

Please continue to read with your child as this is the most important home learning you can do. Read books from school and home, comics, online texts (Oxford owl) or any other material you can get your hands on.
