Good Morning Reception 

How are you this morning? 

Did you manage to dress up as a book character?

If not, what character would you have liked to have been? 

What character are you?

The teachers have made a little challenge for you.

If you go on to the school videos section on the webpage you will find it.  The quiz answer sheet is on the word document below if you need it.   

Good Luck! 

The teachers have all recorded the story

'We're going on a bear hunt' for you to listen to.

Can you guess which bear is me? 

Which bear is Miss Meacher? 

Which bear is Mrs Burns? 

Do you know which bear is any of the other teachers in school? 

This morning I would like you to start with your sounds mat.

Do you know the letter names? 

Can you say them to your grown-up?

Can you guess the story?

Look at the  pictures below and see if you can tell your grown up the name of the story? 

How many did you know? 

Books are wonderful and we always enjoy sharing them in class. Today I would like you to share a story. 

You can share it with your grown-up, your teddy bears or your brother or sister.         

If you do not have any story books at  home then you can ask your grown-up to find it on you tube for you. 

Can you change your voice for different characters? 

Today I would like you to pick your activity.

You can  complete one of the following challenges

Good Afternoon Reception

Maths

Start with your number quick write. 

Adults can you shout out a mixture of different numbers from 1-30 and ask the children to write them down on their own.

Some of the children know their numbers beyond one hundred so you could put a few of those in too!

I would like you to order  my number  lines below. They are all muddled up.

Can you put them back in the right order? 

They all start at different numbers so you will have to find the smallest number first. 

Example   

12   10   11    15    13    16    14   

10 is the smallest number so.

10   11    12    13   14   15   16 

This will be the correct order.

5    2     1     0   3    4   6 

12   1 0    6    9     7    8   11

15   20    13   12   14    16   17    19  18

10    13    12     11    9    16   15   14 

16   18    17    2 0  15   21   19    22

25     21      22     19     20     23      2 4 

28      25    26     27    23    30   24    29    

Is it too easy?
