Hello everybody and welcome back. I hope you have had a lovely half term break and are ready to start a new topic.

Our topic for spring 2 half term is Spring Is Coming.

Over the next few weeks we are going to find out about different types of weather, what happens in Spring, signs of spring, growth, planting and much, much more.

Topic

We are going to find out about the different types of weather. Listen to the National Geographical weather book read aloud. It will explain the different types of weather and explain the meanings of many weather words.

When you have watched the videos, I would like you to draw a picture to show each weather. See the attached sheet.

Grown-ups, please could you ask your child “what is their favourite weather?” Could you then send me an email to let me know? I am going to collate each child’s choice and make a pictogram to show their choices. When I have had your emails, I will put a picture on the webpage.

I wonder which will be the favourite weather of reception 1?

I would like you to complete your weather diary for this week. See the attached document. You can either print it out or make your own weather diary. I would love to see how you get on. Remember to use finger spaces and correct letter formation. Grown-ups, if your child needs support with writing, please write the words for them to write over.

Phonics

Revisit phase 2/3 sounds learnt last half term. You can use your sound fan or the flashcards that you may have made recently or the attached sound mats.

Maths

Let’s warm up those maths brains

Do 5 star jumps

Hop on one leg and count to 7

Draw a triangle

Draw 10 dots

Today we are going to look at the months of the year. Do you know all the names of the months of the year? Can you say them in order?

Complete the months of the year cut and stick activity attached and then on the next document practised writing the months of the year.
