Here are some fab ideas for you to do at home:

Literacy: Reading

Please take a look at the Oxford Owl website, this has a page explaining how we teach phonics through 'Read Write Inc (RWI) with some ideas to support your child. Please also look at the Parent Workshop information section on our school website as I uploaded some helpful documents there after the meetings.

 https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/ You can access a range of e books on this website that will be suitable for your child.

Physical Development

In school, we use a website called https://www.gonoodle.com/  for lots of guided dancing, zumba, fitness and relaxation videos for the children to follow. We usually start our day with some of these videos that the children like to choose from. Families are able to access this website.

During the 'Daily Mile' part of our class timetable, we all enjoy running on the spot or around a small area to try and collectively reach a mile each day. The children like to follow runners on videos on the web or the fitness videos on go noodle. This would be a great time to let your child have a run in the garden. Why not time them and see if they can improve each day.

Follow Joe Wicks for a 30 minute session, starting daily at 9am, on Joe's You Tube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6r99N3kXME

To relax or to re focus during the day, the children in Reception love to do a little yoga. One of the websites we use is here... https://www.cosmickids.com/ 

Please check the school website's PE and sport section for key information and ideas to keep active.

Reading

We suggest you read at least 3 times a week and continue to record this in your organiser. Remember that if you read at least 3 times a week every week you will get your Reading Rocket Badge! Also, we suggest that you share lots of stories at home with each other and encourage reading for pleasure.

Writing

We encourage all children to write as much as they can in lots of different ways. For example, get your child to label their drawings, write shopping lists, write stories together and create cards. Encourage your child to use their Fred Fingers when they are writing and to use their special school writing.

Maths

Maths is all around us which is fantastic! Discuss with your child the different shapes and numbers in their environment. Practise counting to 20 forwards and backwards, writing their numbers and even practically solving simple addition and subtraction problems. You can also look at the shapes around you, talk about their properties and make and re-create patterns. You can also do lots practical activities to encourage their maths skills such as cooking and making models.
