Reception (21-22) Today’s Work

Welcome

How do you feel welcomed into Reception? Look at the photograph above for some ideas.. Share ways in which these children are being welcomed into school.  Invite the children to share their memories of how they were welcomed into school on their first day. Discuss what it means to be ‘Welcomed’ – to belong and feel part of a group.How do the children know and feel like  they belong to our Reception class. Create a welcome sign with hand prints or decorate a ‘welcome’ card to give to someone in class.

Read the story together and then draw a storymap of the beginning.   Draw the first 3 parts of the story and an adult can support by writing your sentences.  Can your child write their name and any initial sounds?.  The main parts of the story are:

1. At the beginning the penguin knocks at the door where the boy lives.

2. The penguin is feeling very sad and follows the boy everywhere.

3. Then the boy and penguin go on a journey to take the penguin home.

   

 

Share the sound ‘d’ and ‘t’ with your child.

.Form the letter using your finger in the air and introduce a writing tool to mark make on paper; ‘Round the dinosaurs bottom up his long neck and down to his toes’ and ‘ down the tower, across the tower’.

Play the ‘I spy’ game, finding things around the home that start with ‘d’ and ‘t’

Can they find some things in the house that have the sound ‘m’ and ‘s’

Can they draw them and write ‘d’ and ‘t’ letter shapes?

Listen to the tribute song to key works following the You Tube link below:

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/

Talk about “Key Worker’ groups that work in our community. Discuss what the children can remember about being at home during the Covid 19 pandemic. Talk about the people in their community who went to work during this time, including delivery drivers and shop workers, and why this was important. Explain how families displayed rainbows in their windows as a sign of thanks. Ask if any of the children’s parents are key workers.

• Do you remember clapping on a Thursday night for the people who helped us?
• Which people were key workers?
• What jobs did they do to help people?
• What would you say thank you for?

Draw and colour a rainbow together. Write ‘Thank You’ and display it in your home.

Use a range of small tools, including pens, scissors, toothbrushes, and cutlery. Encourage your child to hold a secure grip.

Body part action songs and dancing.
