Home Learning week beginning 27th April


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:

                                                                                            The Little Red Hen | Fairy Tale for Kids - YouTube

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 ?
