Hello
Reception
Remember the internet can be an exciting place to learn and have fun, but sometimes you might see something online that makes you feel worried, scared or sad. If that happens, tell an adult you trust like a parent or a teacher, and they can help.

ball parts should fit between the green lines.
Handwriting
Revise writing all these tricky words – to, the, no, go, he, she, me, my, was, you, are, all, one
Write these sentences. Try and write on lined paper and make your letters sit on the lines. Don’t forget begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop.
You are the best !

All my pets sat on my bed.
Listen to the story ‘My colourful Chameleon’ on link below
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcylSaciqLU&t=33s
This week your challenge is to make one or more pages to add to the story of ‘My Colouful
Chameleon’. Think of some new places that the chameleon could get lost when he changes his colour to be camouflaged. Draw a picture then add a
sentence e.g. We lost him at the swimming pool or We lost him at the park.
Count how many words are in your sentence and practice saying your sentence out loud
before you write it. Remember Say it, Sound it, Write it, Read it.
Use your sound cards to help you and just write down the sounds you hear
in each word. If you can write on a line then that is also good practice.

Music challenge
Listen to the music in the link below. There are music clips from a piece of classical music called ‘Carnival of the Animals’. The music is played by an
orchestra of people playing different musical instruments. Listen to the music clips looking at the
animals this music is about. Now try listening again without looking at the screen.
Point to the animal (animal sheet attached below) who you think the music is about. How many did you get right ?

Creative challenge
Camouflage art.
Create your own piece of camouflage art. See some examples below for inspiration ! Choose a wild animal and talk about the colours and markings on it. What colours are on this animal. Draw the animals and choose the correct colours to colour/paint it.
Then think of how you can camouflage it. You might like to cut or tear coloured paper of pages from an old magazine or even choose leaves, twigs or grass from outside. Stick these materials around your animal to camouflage it.
Understanding the world challenge
Look at the animal sorting activity on Tapestry. Can you cut and sort these pictures into the correct habitat group.
