Wednesday 13th May

Hello Class One,

Don’t forget we have another Google Meet tomorrow (Thursday 14th May) at 10am. It would be lovely to see you all there for a chat. This time can you bring something along that you have created. You can show us and tell us all about it. It could be a lego construction, a painting, a story, some art and craft-whatever you like! We can’t wait to see what you have been creating!

This week we are learning around the story of The Very Busy Spider! Have a great time learning at home.

Remember to do what you can (2 hours is plenty- this doesn’t need to be all in one go!) and to learn lots more through your own play too.

Have a great week!

Watch the animation of The Very Busy Spider

Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfL0g-XRxnA. Make predictions and talk about the main events, characters and setting as you watch it together. Why can’t the spider stop to answer and play with the animals on the farm? Why did the Spider fall asleep in the end?

Literacy

Go on a mini beast hunt in the garden. What can you find? Can you describe it using lots of amazing vocabulary? Now let’s draw and write about one of the mini beasts you found!

Nursery

With a little help from your parents, can you use the observation form attached at the end of this page to draw and write about a mini beast you found? Can you write your own name on the form? Can you write, copy or trace over the number of legs the mini beast had? Try and write some of the initial sounds (or more sounds!) you hear in the words you want to write to label your drawing. Tell your parents all about the mini beats and they can scribe what you say next to your drawing.

Reception

Can you independently write some sentences about one of the mini beasts you found? What wonderful words would you use to describe the mini beast? Use your amazing phonics skills and a letter mat to help you with your spelling.

Letter formation practice for Nursery and Reception

I have recorded a letter formation video for you to help you develop your letter formation at home. It’s quite long so you may want to just practice a few letters at a time. I hope it helps! When you open the link, it can be slow loading. Wait a while and it should start to work.

Maths

All Nursery and Reception children can have a go at completing some of the day 3 and 4 Busy Spider themed maths challenges over the next two days.

Here is the link. Click on Summer term- Week 4 (w/c 11th May) and all of the activities for the week will be there. https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/

Other play based maths activities for Nursery to work on throughout the week

Counting skills- Draw, make or print off some minibeasts (up to 5, then 10 and extend the number further if your child is confident). Encourage your child to line them up and then touch count them accurately. Can you make a matching number label together?
Beginning to recognise numbers- Draw or print numbers on minibeasts (0-5,0-10 and extend further if confident), hide them in the garden and go on a number hunt! Can you recognise the numbers and can you order them together?

Other play based maths activities for Reception to work on throughout the week

Order numbers 0-20, then count and draw the matching amount of mini beasts for each number e.g draw 4 ladybirds, 10 spiders and 19 bees. It will be a minibeast number line!
Doubling-make a ladybird, place an amount of up to 10 spots on one side, double it and add the same to the other side, how many does it have in total? Double…. is….
Sharing- make 2 playdough spiders, use 2, then 4,6,8,10 orange segments, share them fairly between the two spiders. What if there were 5 pieces of orange to share? What if there were 3 or 4 spiders? How would you share a whole cake between 2 spiders? Can you draw a picture to show what you would do to share the cake?
Adding and subtracting using lots of practical resources and drawings where you can. Use number stories to help with adding and subtracting e.g One spider had 2 flies and the other had 4 flies, how many altogether? Make the spiders and flies to help set up and solve this. Look at recording as a number sentence together 2 + 4 =

A spider had 5 flies and then it ate 3, how many does it have now? Make or draw a spider, give it 5 flies, subtract the 3 (cross them out/take them). Look at recording as a number sentence together 5 - 3 =

1 more and 1 less- Use a ladybird, count on some spots, what if the ladybird had 1 more? 1 less? 2 more? 2 less?

Have a go at Counting Caterpillar!

Can you sequence the numbers? This is a bit of a challenge as some of the numbers will be missing! You can change the numbers using the sliders. Nursery could have a go at sequencing up to 10 with you. Reception challenge yourself and go up to 20, or higher!
