Reception Home Learning

A large part of learning in Reception is allowing children to play, explore, and discover new things. Whether your child enjoys building towers, baking, or playing with dolls, there are always opportunities to learn and extend their thinking. Try to enjoy most of the day playing together as much as possible: learning to take turns in games; sharing nicely; chatting- taking turns in conversation; and lots of laughing.

On this page, we will be putting a Maths and Phonics focus task on everyday, so please check daily for updates and the new task to complete. We would like you to send pictures for evidence to your class teacher’s email address below.

Please take photos/videos of your child learning through play/completed daily tasks and send them to us via our home learning email addresses below!

Mrs. Edwards’ home learning email address is… [email protected]

Miss. Harris’ home learning email address is… [email protected]

Joanne, Michelle, Mrs. Cooper, and Miss Lane will also be using their class’ email address to view and comment on all of your fantastic learning at home.

If you don’t have any paper, pencils, or craft resources at home, school do have some craft boxes available if you require one. Please just email your class teacher and we can arrange for collection from the school office.

We will share lots of the photos on Facebook (if we have your permission) and print all the photos and evidence to go into your child’s learning journey.

Good luck. We hope you enjoy these activities and keep safe at home.

Wow! Look at some of the fantastic learning already happening. Keep your emails coming 🙂

All of the staff have been busy doing some learning at home too! Have a look here for some more ideas for learning at home!

Thank you to Joanne, Michelle, Mrs Cooper, Miss Lane, and Mrs Wilson for all their hard work!

Joanne has been busy experimenting with colours! Can you try a science experiment at home? Have a look on YouTube for lots of child friendly science experiments. Click on the pictures to enlarge and view the instructions.

Miss Harris has been busy recreating the magic milk experiment. It didn’t turn out so well because my food colouring had gone gloopy! Can you do a better job?

All you need is…

a small plate filled with milk
drops of different food colouring in the milk
a cotton bud coated with washing up liquid.

Once you have put drops of coloring into your milk, touch the milk with the end of your cotton bud and watch as the colours repel each other and dance around the plate.
