Friday 24th April Reception
Happy Friday Reception!
Fun Fact Friday: Jupiter’s moon Io has many volcanoes which makes it look like a pepperoni pizza!
Can you find out a fun fact today? We would love to read them in the comments or you can email them to your teacher.
Literacy: Phonics
I have recorded a short video for you. This task allows you to use your skills of segmenting. You can either do this verbally or grab a piece of paper and join in. There are twenty words in this video so you can do some now and some later.
Maths: Doubling
This week you have been looking at doubling. Today we are going to apply that knowledge to a more abstract way of presenting it.
Make a tens frame at home similar to the one below. You can use this to easily see the double of a number. If I want to find out what double three is, I can place three objects or dots on the first row and three on the bottom. I can then count the total by counting on. See the example below.
I have used the online version that can be found here:

Other: National Trust 50 things
National trust have created a list of 50 things to do before you are 11 3/4 years. Although most of these are to get children active outside, some of them can be completed a lot closer to home. My favourites that can be achieved are:
No.3 – camp outdoors
No.9 – eat a picnic in the wild
No.18 – create some wild art
No.31 – make friends with a bug
No.33 – cloud watching
No.36 – make a home for wildlife
No.41 – help a plant grow
No.48 – watch a bird
Here is the link to the full list:

Keep smiling,
Miss Goodswen and Mrs Hughes
Doubles practiced with the use of the tens frame, Joshua was very excited and said “ we use that in class”.

Roll down a big hill
Build a den
Fly a kite
Explore on wheels
Spot a fish
Go paddling
Cook on a campfire
Explore the wonders of a rock pool
Catch a crab
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
I’m glad Joshua recognised the tens frame. We have used them a lot! It sounds like you’re going to have a very exciting time. Keep smiling and have a lovely weekend too. 🙂 Mrs Hughes
The Blue Whale is the biggest animal to have ever lived on earth! They can be as heavy as 20 African elephants, and is nearly one and a half times as long as an Olympic sized swimming pool!!
Wow Madison that is very long! Well done 🙂 Mrs Hughes
Ethan enjoyed the phonics video and hearing Miss Goodswen voice.
His fact is: Space is completely silent.
We are glad you enjoyed it. We’re working on more videos for next week. 🙂 Mrs Hughes
A bold of lightning is about six times hotter than the sun.
A snails mouth is no larger than a head of a pin, but can contain 25,000 teeth!

Goodness, that is a lot of teeth! Well done Bailey 🙂 Mrs Hughes
An elephant can smell water 12 miles away.
An elephant’s tooth can weigh over 6 pounds. I weighed that when I was born!
