Week
beginning Monday 4th May 2020
Please find the suggested activities to do with your child at home this week. This includes 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. Thank you very much for all the fantastic photos of the home learning that you have been uploading so far.
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 each 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 listen to this week’s story of ‘The
Three Little Pigs’ which will be uploaded to tapestry ready for Monday morning.
1. After listening to the story of '
The Three Little Pigs’, 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 write something that they know about pigs ? eg ‘Pigs like to
roll in mud.’
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 write a list of words which rhyme with pig ? Could they make a list
of words which rhyme with stick ?
4.On
'Education city' please can your child play ‘Fairy Pair’ and ‘Fear the
beard’ games on 'English 2’.
On
'letterjoin'
5.
Can your child design a house which has enough rooms for all of the pig family
to live in together ? Perhaps they could write labels for each room in the
house ?
Can
your child use their construction and creative skills to build a house for the
pigs ? Perhaps your child could explore the best materials to build a house.
Could your child try to build a house of straw ? Could your child try to build
a house of sticks ? Could your child try to build a house of bricks ? Perhaps
your child could test which house is the strongest by pretending to be the big
bad wolf ? How could they find out which house would be waterproof ?
Maths
Please
use the link for 'white rose maths' which the whole school use. There are 5
brilliant sessions each week based around a book. This week the activities
focus on the story of 'The Hungry Caterpillar '-please follow the early years

PATHS and well being:
Please see Tapestry for this weeks Twiggle time story, 'Ruby's Worry' by Tom Percival. This story is about a girl who cannot get rid of her worry and it helps to explain that ignoring your worries will only make you feel worse. Remember whatever your worry is, it always helps to talk about it. This may be a helpful feeling to talk to your child about during these uncertain times.
