Home learning - Week commencing 13th July 2020
Hello reception,
September 2020: In order to give your child the best start in year 1,I would advise lots and lots and lots and reading! Reading to your child, hearing your child read, reading flash cards, or words written on paper, sharing picture books, letting your child read a book to a younger sibling as they look at the pages together.
If your child has a good grasp on reading this will open so many learning opportunities for them in year 1, in their school life and beyond.
The power of reading is endless.
This week's activities and ideas are based around the book 'How many legs'. All the activities and ideas can be done without the book so do not worry if you have not got it : )
Please see the the link below to take you directly to the whiterose maths page where it will give you ideas and activities for each day:

Please see the document below for an oversight of this week's learning.
- keep it fun
- keep it simple
- do only what you can
GO WITH YOUR CHILD'S OWN INTEREST AND BASE LEARNING AROUND THAT.
Your child will be more engaged and see what they are doing as playing - making it fun and enjoyable.
I hope you are all safe and well.
Mr Shaw.

Best Ever No-Cook Play Dough Recipe
You need:
- 2 cups plain flour (all purpose)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (baby oil and coconut oil work too)
- 1/2 cup salt
- 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
- 1 to 1.5 cups boiling water (adding in increments until it feels just right)
- gel food colouring (optional)
- few drops glycerine (my secret ingredient for stretch and shine!)
Method:
- Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar and oil in a large mixing bowl
- Add food colouring TO the boiling water then into the dry ingredients
- Stir continuously until it becomes a sticky, combined dough
- Add the glycerine (optional)
- Allow it to cool down then take it out of the bowl and knead it vigorously for a couple of minutes until all of the stickiness has gone. * This is the most important part of the process, so keep at it until it’s the perfect consistency!*
- If it remains a little sticky then add a touch more flour until just right
For more playdough ideas: https://theimaginationtree.com/category/create/
Try adding lemon or lime zest, coconut shavings, crushed blackberries and rasberries for naturally scented playdough :)
Cloud dough:
This is so easy to make and provided hours of fun and entertainment!
- 7 cups any type of flour
- 1 cup vegetable oil or baby oil
