Reception – Robins

Week beginning 20th April 2020

Home/life skill challenge – Have a practise this week at using your zip on your coat.

Our school theme this week is... Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Before you complete the following tasks, you would watch the original version or the remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Enjoy watching this with your family maybe whilst eating any Easter Eggs you might have left over.

Reading Task:With an adult, read these sentences and then I would like you to work hard and answer some of the questions (adults can scribe their answers into their Home Learning books)

Mr Wonka has lots of chocs.

The Oompa Loompa’s sing songs.

Chocs are yummy.

Questions:1. Who makes the chocs?2. What is your favourite sweet or chocolate?

Hold a sentence – adults to read this out and your child will repeat it. Continue to read the sentence but using different voices (they love this and it helps them to remember the sentence) The children will then write the sentence down by sounding out the words using their Fred Fingers.

I can see chocs Or they can extend it I can see lots of big chocs.

Writing Task:

Willy Wonka who owns the Chocolate factory has lots of strange and new sweets and chocolates in his factory, can you become Willy Wonka and design your own new sweet or chocolate bar. I would like you to draw a picture of your new design and label the different colours and shapes that can be found on it.

For example, my new design would be full of red jelly stars, blue buttons and pink marshmallows.

Phonics task:Charlie and the Chocolate Factory uses the ‘special friends’ ‘ch’ can you make a list of words that have the ‘ch’ sound in it. Can you even make some alien words with the ‘ch’ sound in it. Alien words are made up words that the children need to learn to read and identify if it is a real word or

a nonsense word.

Maths task:This week we are going to be focussing on the topic of time.Discuss with your adult what you know about time. Can you discuss the different times of the day that are always the same in your routine (breakfast, go to school, lunch, afternoon greeting in the register, finish school, tea time and bed time)

Can you make your own timetable of your Home Schooling day? You can use pictures to represent each stage. Can you put them in the correct order using some of this vocabulary: before, next, then and after.

You can discuss what o’clock means – the big hand points to 12 and the little hand points to the hour. – This game may be a bit tricky but discuss with your child to look closely at the small hand and the number that it has landed on.

Can you play ‘What’s the time Mr wolf’ in your garden or on a walk? Remember to only take the amount of steps that the wolf has mentioned.

Topic task: This week we will be focussing on... Science

You can choose either or both of these tasks

Task 1) Willy Wonka has lots of different chocolates and sweets in his factory; I would like you to have a go at constructing something using some sweets and cocktail sticks. Mini marshmallows are a good one to use. What can you build? How tall can you build it?

Task 2) Will it float? Using some sweets, chocolates and or wrappers from them, can you predict (think about what will happen) whether it will sink or float? Don’t forget to take some pictures and record it in your Home Learning book.

Enjoy completing the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory themed tasks. I look forward to seeing your photos on Class Dojo.
