Year R Home learning for Friday 3rd April
| Subject focus | What we need to learn: | How we might learn it: |
| Literacy – 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. |
Re-share the cautious caterpillar story available on our school website https://langstoneinfants.co.uk/story-videos/ Ask your child to write about their favourite part of the story (they can use the exercise book we have provided). Note: It is ok if words are not spelt perfectly as long as the children are writing the sounds they can hear. Encourage them to leave finger spaces between each word. They can draw a picture to go with their writing if they would like. You can download a sound mat to help them here https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-l-507-combined-phase-2–3-sound-mats (if you are not already registered visit www.twinkl.co.uk/offer and use the code CVDTWINKLHELPS ) |
| Maths | Children use everyday language to talk about capacity, to compare quantities and to solve problems. |
Focus: Capacity Find a range of different containers and talk to your child about when the container is full, empty, half full, half empty. Can your child use the maths language above independently? The next step is to find which container holds the most and least by testing using one of the smaller containers as the unit of measure. Your child could make a prediction and record their prediction on a piece of paper or a board and then check by testing – counting the amount of times the smaller container needs to be refilled until the larger container is ‘full’. |
| Other: PSHE |
Children talk about how they and others show feelings. They show sensitivity to others’ needs and feelings. |
Focus: PSHE Talk to your child about the current situation? What do they know and understand? What questions would they like to ask? Give your child the opportunity to ask/share their concerns/questions/worries? Talk about how different members of the family feel and let your child know that it is ok to have those feelings and feel differently to each other. |
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.
