Reception General Resources, Internet Links, Agency Documents.
All the documents and links below are the ones that used to be on our main Reception closure page.
These are documents that I set up during the closure last academic year. You might not require all the documents or internet links but I thought they were helpful for you to have access to.

Internet Links
Below are internet links (in red font) to sites that you may find useful generally or that may be referenced in some of the daily activities.
Links will be in alphabetical order to try to make it a bit easier to find them.
I will try to add to these links as we go along but in the meantime, if you find or know of any other sites that you think would be good to share with the class please contact me via the class e mail and I will add them on to here.
I have now rearranged these links slightly and added a separate subheading underneath for physical activity internet links (30.3.20).
Actiphons - https://actiphons.com/ Online phonics teaching site. I have to admit I do not know much about this but I do know another school in our cluster uses it instead of Phonics Play. If it is possible to access, it could be another avenue to explore if the Phonics Play site gets too busy and it might have ideas and resources to supplement any other phonics activities that I set.
Additional Maths Games Suggestions - Additional Links to Interactive Maths Games.
BBC Schools - Bitesize https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/primary Although this mentions KS1 and KS2, Reception children will be able to access some of the learning and resources.
BBC - CBeebies https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies We often use this for Alphablocks video's/activities and for Numtums. Once on the homepage if you just type those words into the search section it will bring them up for you.
Numberjacks https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWKuiktSh-V3E4ysPU0VC3Q On here you can find Numberjacks videos that we sometimes use in class.
Phonics Play https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/ This will be referenced a lot when I talk about phonics and suggest phonics interactive games. This is usually a subscription site but they are now providing a free parent login - Username: march20 Password: home
Purple Mash/Mini Mash https://www.purplemash.com/sch/stsaviour This is used throughout school. Your child's individual login has been sent home. The Reception part of Purple Mash is called 'Mini Mash'. It has a range of activities on supporting things like literacy, maths, music, art and obviously computing. Click on the following green link to download a parent guide. Purple Mash Parent Guide
TopMarks https://www.topmarks.co.uk/ Website that contains a range of interactive games, included our well used 'gingerbread man' game.

Cosmic Kids Yoga - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5uIZ2KOZZeQDQo_Gsi_qbQ I have been given this link Alysia. I have heard a few of our class are already doing it as an alternative to Joe Wicks. If the link does not work you can go onto YouTube and put 'cosmic yoga' into the search. Apparently I have heard you can choose a theme and it links a story with yoga. Just had a quick look and it looks like fun.
