Year R – Tuesday’s Home Learning

Year R Home learning for Tuesday 19th May

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:

Literacy

(Phonics/ writing)

Children write some irregular common words. They write simple sentences which can be read by themselves and others. Some words are spelt correctly and others are phonetically plausible. Using the same words from yesterday. You say the word and encourage your child to write it. You can make this activity more fun by writing using different media e.g with water and a paintbrush outside or in flour in a tray using a finger. Feel free to come up with your own interesting ways of writing.

Maths – Addition Using quantities and objects, they add and subtract two single-digit numbers and count on or back to find the answer.

Addition Bingo

Ask your child to choose four numbers between 1 and 9 and write them down.

Write out the following addition number sentences onto pieces of paper/card:

0 +1 =

2 + 0 =

2 + 1 =

2 + 2 =

3 + 2 =

3 + 3 =

2 + 5 =

5 + 3 =

6 + 3 =

And turn them upside down on the table/floor.  Ask your child to pick one and work out the answer. If the answer is one of the numbers they chose they can cross it out. Repeat until they have crossed out all of their chosen four numbers. The children can use objects to support adding the two numbers e.g. counters, pegs, cars, etc.

Extra challenge: use numbers 11-20 in place of 1 to 9 and change the addition sentences to match.

Understanding the World

Children make observations of animals and explain why some things occur, and talk about changes. 

Children select and use technology for particular purposes.

Ask your child to choose their favourite sea creature or one that they would like to find out more information about.

Using books, the internet and your own knowledge, find out facts and information. 

E.g  What do they eat?

       Where do they live?

       What do they look like?

Remember to email your child’s class teacher to let them know how you’ve got on. We’d love to see examples of what you’ve been up to.
