Please read through ‘Aaaargghh Spider’ by Lydia Monks using the PowerPoint provided on the school website.http://www.stmp.camden.sch.uk/year-groups/reception/This can be found under Reception Home Learning - Summer 1 Week 5.

There are some questions included on the slides for your child to answer and discuss with you.

Throughout the week you might also wish to watch a video of the story being read as well. This can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_MSzhc0hz8

Numeracy LO: I can recognise, create and describe patterns. LO: I can count objects with 1:1 correspondence.

Warm Up: Play the pattern game on your tablet/phone/laptop:https://www.topmarks.co.uk/ordering-and-sequencing/shape-patterns

Resources:For this activity you will need:

A mobile phone with a timer Items of clothing Household items

Activity: Discuss with your child what different patterns they can think of, e.g. stripes, spots,

hearts, dinosaurs, flowers etc. Set a phone timer for 1 minute and ask your child to become a pattern detective

and go on a hunt around the house for as many patterned items as they can find. You can help your child by suggesting they look through their clothing, socks and underwear.

When the 1 minute is up, ask your child to explain the different patterns on the items to you. Your child can group the items based on their pattern e.g. creating a pile for striped items and a pile for spotty items. You can finish by counting how many of each different pattern type you have found. Which pattern type did you find the most of?

Questions: What is a pattern? What different patterns can you think of? Can you describe this pattern? How many items did you manage to find? Can you count them all accurately?

Literacy :LO: I can use my phonics knowledge to write words which are phonetically plausible.LO: I can write a simple sentence.

Resources: For this activity you will need:

A piece of paper/homework book and pen/pencil.

Activity:Re-read the story book Aaaarrgghh Spider! Discuss with your child, if they could have a minibeast as a pet, which minibeast would they choose to have and why? Once you have discussed this, encourage your child to write a sentence about this e.g. I would like a …….. as a pet.

Questions: Can you use your robot arms to sound out the word…..? What sounds can you hear in the word…..? When you are writing a sentence, what 3 things do you need to remember to

include? (a capital letter at the beginning, finger spaces between the words and a full stop at the end)

Challenge: Your child can extend their sentence by justifying why they have chosen this minibeast. They could use the connective ‘because’ to do this e.g. I would like a ……. as a pet because…….

Please remember this writing does not need to be perfect. We just want your child to practise sounding out words and writing the sounds that they can hear.

NumeracyLO: I can recognise numbers to 20 and understand the value of these numbers. LO: I can count up to 20 dots with 1:1 correspondence.

Warmup:Play the ‘show me…’ game with your child, working with numbers from 11 - 20. To play this game you will ask your child to show an amount using their hands.For example, show me…. ‘12.’ Your child should then hold up 10 fingers followed by 2 more fingers. Practise this with numbers 11-20.

Resources:For this activity you will need:

Pieces of paper/floor space and pen/chalk

Activity: This activity can either be completed indoors or

outdoors during your daily exercise. Begin by drawing the number squares on the floor in

the park/outdoor space or on pieces of paper. Please do this for numbers 11 - 20 e.g. for number 11 you could draw a 5, a 5 and a 1. Your child can count the dots, matching the number squares to their corresponding number.

Questions: Can you recognise the number…..? How many dots can you count? Can you match the numeral to the correct number of dots?

Literacy

LO: I can learn some key information/facts about spiders. LO: I can listen to information attentively and answer questions in response to this.

Activity: Please open the ‘Spiders PowerPoint’ found on the school website: http://www.stmp.camden.sch.uk/year-groups/reception/ Home Learning - Summer 1 Week 5.

Please explore the Spiders PowerPoint with your child. Ask your child to answer the questions at the end of the PowerPoint slideshow.

This will be an opportunity to see how much information your child can remember about spiders. You can make this more fun by turning it into a competition where they can score points for every question they get right. How many points can they score?

NumeracyLO: I can recognise numbers from 11 – 20.LO: I can understand the value of numbers 11 – 20.
