Year R – Monday’s Home Learning

Year R Home learning for Monday 22nd June

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
Literacy – Listening and attention/writing

Children listen to stories, accurately anticipating key events and respond to what they hear with relevant comments, questions or actions.

Children write simple sentences which can be read by themselves and others.

Watch ‘Spot goes to the circus’ on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVsdYMYgObM

NOTE: Please be aware that this video may contain advertisements, please watch the content before showing your child.

Discuss with your child all the different characters that Spot meets throughout the story.

Encourage your child to  write some sentences about the story. They could be about the characters, about what spot sees or about their favourite part .

Offline alternative:

Read a story of your choosing and encourage your child to talk and write about the characters.

Maths – 1 more and 1 less Children count reliably with numbers from 0 to 20 and say which number is one more or one less than a given number.

Ask your child to choose a number card between 0 and 20 from turned over cards on a table.

Model how to make up a 1 more circus themed number story. E.g. There are six monkeys swinging on a trapeze in the circus then one more monkey comes along to swing.

 6 add 1 more is 7     or         6 add 1 more equals 7    or      6 + 1 = 7

Then repeat with your child making up another 1 more circus themed number story for a different number to show their understanding of the concept of 1 more. The children can use teddy bears, beads, cuddly toys or any objects to support their understanding of adding 1 more.

Repeat the above activity with 1 less/fewer. Model how to make up a 1 less/fewer circus themed number story. e.g. 10 elephants walked in the ring and then 1 ran away.  

1 less than 10 is 9        or         1 fewer than 10 is 9        or         10 – 1 =9

Other: Physical and Music

Children represent their own ideas, thoughts and feelings through… music, dance and stories.

Children show good control in large and small movements.  They move confidently in a range of ways.

Ask your child to think about the animals/characters in the story this week.

Can they move like a tiger/elephant?

What instrument could they use to make the sounds of the animal/character? e.g. drum for an elephants stomp, shaker for the monkey swinging on the trapeze.

Remember to email the school to let us know how you’ve got on. We’d love to see examples of what you’ve been up to.
