Good morning Reception Class.  Here is your remote learning for today.

Phonics - 

Maths - 

I am learning to recognise symmetry 

Using a mirror, children are to make a symmetrical picture. Children can use lego, beads, toys, anything really!  Talk about how the position and placement of the objects reflect exactly – this is symmetry.  As an extension, children can fold a piece of paper in half, paint on one side and then fold it over.  This then creates asymmetrical picture. 

Literacy/topic - 

I am learning to orally tell instructions 

Next week is pancake day and during our live lesson we will be learning about Shrove Tuesday.  In school we will be watching a video on making pancakes and then orally retelling the instructions https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/14169054 .  You could have a go at making some at home and then let me see pictures of your delicious pancakes! The main focus for today though is being able to order and retell the instructions so don't worry if you don't make any!

PSHE - 

Today we will be looking at artice 12 – Respect for the views of the child 

Every child has the right to express their views, feelings and wishes in all matters affecting them, and to have their views considered and taken seriously.  

This right applies at all times, for example during immigration proceedings, housing decisions or the child’s day-to-day home life. 

In some stories children’s views are ignored. Have you read ‘Not Now Bernard!’? If not watch this story. What would you say to Bernard’s parents if you had the chance?
