3. 3d shape hunt challenge - Does it roll Make a collection of 3D shapes from your home, such as a tin of food (cylinder), a ball (sphere), a dice (cube), a cereal packet (cuboid) and an ice cream cone (cone).  Make a simple ramp.Look at the different objects. Can you name which 3D shapes they are?
• Which shapes do you think will roll down the ramp?

Today's Reflection

• Thank you to Kamil and Callum for commenting on my blog :) 
• Thank you Flynn for the really thoughtful letter you wrote me - that was kind of you and made my day!
• Lily B I love the story you wrote.
• Thank you everyone for another day of fantastic work from you! It's been so lovely to see you trying hard to complete the activities and challenges I set for you! The amount of time and effort you are putting in is brilliant. I am super proud of you all! 

Well done Phoebe, Lily and Lily B for successfully completing the rainbow scavenger hunt! 

You found so many interesting things :)

Phoebe and Kamil spent a lot of time exploring 3d shapes. Phoebe drew around her shapes. 

Kamil made a ramp and discovered which shapes slid and rolled, then he sorted them accordingly.

Here are some other amazing things Reception have been up to today!

The extremely thoughtful letter I received from Flynn :)

Lily mixed paints to create new colours then painted her own rainbow on her window for other children to see when they go out on a rainbow hunt.

 Then she wrote an amazing story about a little girl called Lily and the tooth fairy!

Manna and Callum practiced their patterns and counting with a dot to dot.

27.3 Good Morning Reception

Good Morning Reception,

How are you today?
You have had a fantastic first week of home learning and the amount of hard work and effort you have put in so far has been super.
Here are your activities for today.
Don't forget to wake yourselves up with Joe Wicks (YouTube) or GoNoodle (YouTube).

1. BLOG
 Today, please leave me a comment below to say hello and let me know you are OK. I am missing seeing and speaking to you all. It would be lovely to hear from you!



2. Kites
Can you design and make your very own kite? Once you have designed, made and decorated your kite you could take it outside and fly it!




3.Go on your very own bear hunt! Hide some teddies/toys around the house/garden (Maybe a grown up could do this bit for you) Then have fun as you go to find them. When you are looking for your teddies think about where they are. Take this opportunity to build in some positional language e.g behind the tree, next to the photo frame, underneath the table, above or on top of the TV etc.

CHESTER ZOO
Join Chester Zoo on Facebook during their live stream for a virtual tour of the Zoo.
Check out all the different animals and watch the animals during feeding times. I have included a list of these below.
Which animal was your favourite and why? How many animals did you see?

Don't forget you can watch episodes of Alphablocks and Numberblocks on the Cbeebies website :)
Keep playing the phonic games on phonics play!
Don't forget to read one of your books. Pick an activity off the homework bingo grid to complete. When you have finished it don't forget to colour the sqaure.

Have a lovely day. I look forward to seeing more pictures and reading your comments later.

26.3 Flowers

Good Morning,
How is everyone today?
Miss Letherby is looking forward to spending some more time working outside in the garden today!

Please have a look at the daily reflections I will be posting at the end of each blog in order to share the examples of home learning I have received each day. You can find this at https://ctkrec.blogspot.com/
It will be a good way for the children to see what their school friends have been doing at home I expect they are missing each other.

REMINDER : Please keep hold of any household recycling materials as these could be used for model making e.g things like cardboard, bottle tops, tubes etc.

Here are today's activities.

Keep yourself moving with Joe Wicks on Youtube or a GoNoodle workout of your choice.

1. Flowers

Find a flower, this could be in the garden, the house or online. Have a go at drawing and colouring a picture of a flower. Think about the size (not small!) and the shapes you need to use. write a list of all the things they need to grow (the list could be in the form of pictures)



2. Get your fingers moving
- Create or use a washing line and practice hanging things on the line using some pegs, you could hang up clothes, socks or even some of the pictures you have drawn to create your own gallery.

3. Count to 100!
You are all getting so good at counting and recognising numbers!
Here is a link to the Spiderman count to 100 video so you can all keep practicing at home.

Remember - you can go back and complete any of the activities previously set that you haven't done yet if you are looking for some extra work to do.
Don't forget your daily reading and phonics practice and complete one activity from your home learning pack - you might like to do the hide-a-saurus finding one more and one less sheet!

Have a great day :)
