The ‘Remote Learning’ School Day for Reception - Monday
In order to keep the day as familiar as possible for children, we will be following the same timetable during each day of remote learning:
9.00 - 9.30: Registration
Please log onto teams and enter a live lesson with your teacher who will take the register. The daily timetable will then be shared with the children followed by ‘Dough Disco’. The children will require playdough for this activity, which we have provided in the home learning packs.
9.30 - 10:00 Physical Activity
Please see the link below. We appreciate that you may also want to go outdoors for your daily exercise.

1.00 -1.45: Expressive Arts & Design -CONTINUED ON TUESDAY
One of the key skills in Reception is linked to playing in a group, extending and elaborating play ideas, e.g. building up a role-play activity with other children.
Could you make and develop your own role play area such as a shop, a house, a train, a castle, a spaceship, a hairdresser and have fun playing in it with your child. Be a customer, a passenger, a knight, an astronaut.
You may wish to link this to the Winter and build an igloo, an indoor ice rink etc. There are lots of great ideas on Pinterest you may wish to use.
Resources you could possibly use:
Chairs, clothes airers, large boxes, small tables, blankets, towels, pegs, sheets, duvet covers, etc.
1:45-2.30– ‘Plan, Do, Review’
During this time we encourage the children to plan their own learning, they then carry out their task and we review their learning at the end of the session. (Child initiated learning)
2:30-3:00 - Reading Spine & Speaking and Listening Activities
Children will log onto Teams and enter a live lesson with their teacher who will read a story to them and reflect on their day.
