Whilst outside think about everything you can see around you. If you’re staying inside look out of your window. Can you identify things that we can see outside in winter? Think how some things change as the seasons change. Think about the colours of the season and create a drawing of things that you can see on a winter walk or from your window.
Can you make a snow sculpture, perhaps something different to a snowman? We would love you to get creative, could you add food colouring/paint to the snow to create your design?

Project Dinosaur!!!
Hi Reception,
Whilst we are not all together we thought it might be nice to set you a little optional learning project to complete over the next couple of days. Our next topic is Dinosaurs. We are going to be reading stories and finding out all about dinosaurs.
Whilst you are at home can you have a go at finding out some information about dinosaurs. You can display your learning in any way you want. You might like to draw or paint a picture, you might write some words or ask a grown up to write down some of you ideas. You might prefer to video yourself telling your facts and send the video to school. If you are feeling super creative you might even try to make your own dinosaur model? We would love to see your learning so either send some photos into school or bring your learning in on Monday and we can share it with the class.
We can’t wait to see what you have done.
Love from Miss Dickinson, Miss Stocks and the Reception Team

Activity 2: Make your own role and read
Ask an adult to help you draw a grid like the one below.
In each square write a different tricky word from the list above.
Give each row a number from 1 to 6.
You will then need a dice and a coloured pencil.
Roll the dice and read the tricky word.
If you get it correct, colour in the box. If not, roll again and read the word on the corresponding row.
Keep rolling and reading along the rows until all the tricky words are coloured in.

Today we would like you to continue practising subitising to 5.
Can you remember what subitising is?
Subitising is when you look at a set and say how many you can see without counting.
In the video below you will be shown different pictures.
The first time you watch it shout out how many you see as the pictures appear.
The second time you watch it pause at each picture and have a go at writing the numeral to represent how many you can see.
