Early Years

Reception Online Learning:

Dear parents, carers and children,

Here is a selection of online activities for your child to engage with. These interactive activities reflect some of the recent topics covered in class. Please encourage your child to try out all of the activities; this will help to consolidate their learning and ensure the children continue to make progress while we are closed. We will also be contacting you with a printable homework pack, so please look out for this in your inbox. This will have activities that cover all seven areas of learning in the Early Years.

In Mathematics we have been learning to solve ‘sharing’ / division problems. We have also been learning to count in 2s. In Literacy we are about to begin a new unit of work based on the story ‘The Giant Turnip‘. We’d love you to watch and read the story. Below is a link to watch the story on the Oak National Academy website. There is also a link to a version of the story for you to read at home. As always we welcome any pictures or work you have done at home. Email them to office@grange.southwark.sch.uk
