Year R – Monday’s Home Learning

Year R Home learning for Monday 15th June

Subject focus	What we need to learn:	How we might learn it:
Literacy	Children listen to stories, accurately anticipating key events and respond to what they hear with relevant comments, questions or actions.	Listen and watch the author David Mckee reading his book ‘Elmer’ on the Booktrust Youtube channel- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFrD18XLmlM This week’s topic theme is colour. How many colours on Elmer’s body can your child remember? Can your child name any other colours they know? Discuss together your favourite colours. Offline Alternative: Alternatively you could read a book of your own choosing and discuss the colours that appear in the story.
Maths	Children count reliably with numbers from one to 20.	20 challenge. Pick a colour, hunt round the house for items that are/feature that colour. Encourage your child to record what they find (this could be as simple as putting a tick on a piece of paper each time). Encourage your child to count up how many items they spotted. Can they find 5/10/15/20 things? Repeat with other colours. Which colour did they find the most? Which colour did they spot the least?
Other:	Characteristics of learning- Being involved and concentrating: maintaining focus not easily distracted	Listen to the cosmic kids rainbow waterfall relaxation video focusing on being still and relaxing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh58j2Yw6dg Offline Alternative: Encourage your child to sit quietly in the middle of a room and look at each item around them. Encourage them to whisper the different colours they see e.g “I see a purple lamp”, I see a red pen.
