Week
beginning Monday 27th April 2020
Each
week we will be suggesting activities to do with your child at home. This will
include a daily letters and sounds and maths activity and a weekly topic based
idea too. It is up to you when you do the home learning but we would love to
see how your child is getting on so please upload what you can to tapestry. If
you have any queries or concerns please post these on tapestry and we will get
back to you as quickly as we can.
Letters
and Sounds:
Each
day-whenever possible- we would like your child to be reading- Bug Club is
great to use and also please keep practising the tricky words and sounds in
their sound book.
Don’t forget to collect your rewards on Bug Club as you answer
the quiz when you have finished reading the book !
We
recommend using the link below for 5 Phonics lessons suitable for Reception
children during the summer term. Here is an explanation about the lessons which
go live on Monday.
Here
are this week’s lessons:
Our topic this term is 'Will you
read me a story ?' and each week we will be learning a different traditional
story.
Please watch this week’s story of ‘The Little
Red Hen’ via this link:
1. After listening to the story of '
The Little Red Hen’, ask your child to draw a picture of the characters in the
story. Can they use their phonic skills to write labels to go with their
picture ? Can they describe each character ? eg ‘the furry blue cat’
2. Can they draw a picture of their favourite part of
the story and write a sentence to explain what is happening ? Ask your child to
tell you the important rules when writing a good sentence. ( A sentence needs
to start with a capital letter, when you write you need to remember to leave
'finger spaces' between the words, it needs to make sense and you need to
remember to put a 'full stop' at the end of the sentence.)
3.
Can your child plant some seeds ? Perhaps you could plant some seeds for each
person in your family and see which seeds grow the tallest ? Then can they make
a new seed packet and write a list of instructions for planting the seeds ? eg.
I put some compost in a pot………
4.On
'Education city' please can your child play a game on 'English 2 phase 3' and
to practise their letter formation on 'letterjoin'- Can they practice the
letters in the words ‘r e d h e n ‘ ?
5.
Can your child make a ‘wanted’ poster from the Little Red Hen asking for help
on the farm ?
Can
your child use their creative and problem-solving skills to make something to
help the Little Red Hen to carry the bag of flour ? Perhaps your child could
test what they have made by checking that their model is strong enough to carry
a potato- unless of course you are lucky enough to have a bag of flour at home
?
Making
bread:
Can
you pretend you are the Little Red Hen and make some bread ?
