Reception Home Learning Thursday 2nd April
Good morning children and parents! Thursday is here, are you nearly ready for the weekend? Just two more days to go! Here are your challenges for the day…
Maths:
Estimating
Have a look at these pictures and see if, without counting, you can estimate how many are there. Remember an estimate is like a sensible guess and it doesn’t matter if you are right or wrong.
Then, take a look at this activity from Nrich maths here:
Literacy.
Write a sentence about your favourite animal. My favourite animals are cats. This was my first sentence. Cats are furry. Then I realised it didn’t say much so I thought again and added some more to it and some adjectives (describing words). Cats have soft fur and a long tail and they purr. Can you challenge yourself and write more than one sentence?
