Reception Home Learning - Week 13 (6th - 10th July)
Hi Reception! This is the second space themed week and we have got lots more exciting and fun space based home challenges for you to try! What new information will you learn about space this week?
Remember to email pictures of your space-themed work into admin@deanesfieldschool.org.uk so that we can see all of your creative and imaginative hard work! You might even spot some of your in the Friday Flyer!
We are really missing you and cannot wait to hear all about your week!
Bingo Challenge Grid – How many boxes will you cross off this week?
1. Mix the cornflour and baby oil in the box. Then smooth it out to make a level surface. 2 . Look at pictures of the moon. Can you see all the dark craters? They are made when rocks crash into the moon. 3. Explain to the children that they will be making their own craters. Ask the children to stand by the box and drop the pebbles, one by one, into the flour. 4. Experiment with different sizes of pebble and different heights of drop.

How will you use these materials to make a rocket? |
Write a list of 10 items you would take with you to space in your rocket.
Remember to use your phonics sound mat to help you and your robot arms to sound out each word. |
Write down as many words as you can in 3 minutes.
Try again another day to see if you can beat your score? |
Design your own planet. Draw a picture of it and think about what shape and colours it might be. What would you call it? Use your phonics sounds to write the name of the planet. Write down some exciting adjectives to describe your planet. |
Watch or read Aliens Love Underpants. Pick out your favourite alien and describe it using as many WOW words as you can. Remember you must always have a capital letter at the start of your sentence and a full stop at the end.

Flying Alien 1. Draw an alien face on the balloons using marker pens. 2 Blow up the balloons but do not tie them. 3. Attach some toilet roll to the thinner end of the balloon using sticky tape. 4. Let go of the balloon and watch the alien whizz around the room.
What is inside the balloon? When you are ready, let go of your alien. What is leaving the balloon when you let go of the end? Why does your alien fly across the room? |
Aliens eat very strange things! Can you find some objects around your house that these aliens would like to eat? “I only eat round objects.” “I only eat objects with straight edges.” “I only eat objects that are smaller than a pen.” “I only eat objects that are the shape of a cube.” “I only eat objects that are the shape of a sphere.”

Fold your page in half. On one side write even and on the other write odd. On the even side only draw aliens with an even amount of legs and on the odd side only draw aliens with an odd amount of legs. |
For an activity related to stars in space, take some cheap hair gel or soap and mix in sequins. The children then have to retrieve the stars with tweezers. This is great for fine motor skills!
|
Watch Aliens Love Underpants. Was taking the underpants a kind thing for the aliens to do? Fold your page into 2, on one side draw a happy face and on the other draw a sad face. Make a poster for the aliens teaching them what they can do to make people feel happy and what will make them feel sad. You can either draw or write your ideas.
|
Draw a space scene with planets, stars and maybe even a space ship. Draw an alien on a separate piece of paper and cut it out. Follow the instructions that your adult gives you about where to put the alien e.g. put the alien on top of the planet. Why not try swapping roles? Use these star words to help you: inside, below, above, next to, under, left and right. |

Race against other people in your house hold. |
